beautiful car. the white color is awesome, wish mine was white...
i dont mean to nitpick, but looking at the first picture (driverside), looks like the sideskirt has the line indicating 94-95 sideskirt, and the second picture (passenger side) looks smooth like the 96-97.....
also the drivers side is missing (or repainted) the little black triangle vinal piece by the rear door window above the doorhandle.....its there on the passenger side.
Now, im a volvo newbie, but i thought the "R" was only a 96-97 thing, and the 95 only had the T5-R.
Dont wanna rain on your parade, but if you are a realist like me, id rather know the bad sooner than later (bad meaning car may have been in an accident, and parts replaced from other cars).
or maybe its all in my head (internet quality pictures).

Darn, some serious eye for detail you have there.
My car is a 1997 850R, don't worry I did the carfax and everything before I bought it. The T5-R is 1995 only, but the regular 850R was made 96 and 97.
The sideskirts are the same, the angle makes it look different. It has a line on both sides.
The drivers side doors were resprayed, but there is no evidence of respray or damage anywhere else on the car (including the lower area under the doors). The little black triangle vinyl piece is gone... dunno where.
If you still don't believe me, I'll take some shots of the interior... suede insert seats are so yummy.

Thanks for the horn relocation tip! I might upgrade to some euro horns (super duper loud).
No way man! I love my roof rails. I'm trying to locate a set of racks to use them... I need a better way to tote my bike.

I am definitley a big fan of the white 850 wagons. IMO I would put the 850R back on the back and leave the volvo off. Or even just the R. It looks great man.
