1995 'N' Volvo 850 GLT 2.5 Estate
5 Speed Manual
Turquoise Metallic with Full Black Leather (including the extra rear seats)
152k Miles
MOT until August 2017
Located in Bracknell, Berkshire, RG12
As mentioned in the V70 post, I took this in as a part exchange to offload the other car. The guy really liked the V70, I prefer the 850 and we did a deal, with me giving cash his way. It still has MOT and Tax, so it will be used daily until it sells.
Witter Tow Bar with Twin Electrics
It has quite a high specification for one of these: Full Black Leather, Heated Front Seats, Electric Front Windows, 16" T5 Alloys, Rear Spoiler, Roof Rails, Power Steering, Electric Door Mirrors, Volvo Premium Sound System, etc.
Logbook stated only One Previous Owner
Drives ok, and the 2.5 litre 20 valve engine pulls well throughout the rev range. No hesitation or hiccups. Idles in the correct manner. No overheating, and the cooling fan kicks in as it should. It does have a slight coolant leak somewhere (seems to be towards the back of engine area), but I have stood in about 20 minutes of traffic, and the temperature needle did not creep up beyond it's usual spot.
Brakes and suspension appear to be good, with nothing untoward.
Front two tyres are matching and almost new, one rear is also decent, but the other tyre will need replacing ASAP due to cracks in the sidewall.
Bodywork is generally solid and not the usual rot box, but has marks and blemishes all over, as consistent with the age and miles. Lacquer has lifted on the OSR quarter area. A couple of rust blisters, but nothing too major. Driver's door creaks when opening due to small crease in wing, and the OSF wing needs the plastic trim panel putting back on. Still looks respectable, and perfectly useable as is.
Interior is in one piece, but the driver's seat leather is very worn. Rear seats are decent, and the extra two rear seats are in excellent condition. Just needs a good clean.
Everything seems to work as it should, and there are no warning lights on the dash (apart from a failed rear brake light bulb). Heaters work well, and warm the car up nicely. Stereo also works, and has the old school graphic equaliser on the Volvo Premium Sound system! Glovebox needs to be opened with a pair of scissors (included in sale!).
Comes with: 1 x Key / 1 x Remote Fob, Volvo Folder, User Manuals, Service Booklet with PDI and 8 Service Stamps, MOT History Printout, Various Bills & Receipts, Green Slip
As I just got this today, I only have the Green Slip of the V5. As soon as the Logbook arrives, it will be sent off to DVLA with the new owner's details, and a full receipt given in the interim (I have nothing to hide and I am not here to con anyone).
Due to the age and the faults listed, this is Sold as Seen, and as Spares or Repairs (although it is useable as is).
Looking for £425, which, for the spec it has and being the rare 7 seater model, I think is a reasonable price. Open to sensible offers, as I still need the space it is occupying!
The T5 wheels and the rear seats are sought after and sell for decent money on eBay.
