Runs great. Needs nothing. Wants some things. Daily driven. Approx 200k miles.

New (rebuilt Volvo OEM) axles and front spring seats / new bump stops and sleeves less than 1k ago $700

New obx strut tower brace

New IPD 3″ downpipe and exhaust, PCV system, brake lines and used good condition turbo less than 5-10k ago.

Timing belt done 50k ago.

Never tuned, always stock boost levels, no major mods except exhaust.

Tires, Brakes, wheels all good. HID headlights provide excellent visibility

Car handles and drives beautifully.

Car wants:

Odometer repair kit, mileage is stuck at 187k I’m guess it’s still under 200k since it stopped; any Volvo 850 odometer reading could be a lie due to this common problem.

Ebrake cable and shoes, currently no ebrake but automatic “park” has worked fine for me.

Vinyl wrap or paint on the hood/roof due to clear coat peeling (been looking for a good condition black 850 hood just no luck yet)

Shift lock sensor, sometimes you need to use the “shift lock override” button to get out of park (common problem)

Air conditioning service, probably the big job but try a recharge first.

Good car, has some rattles and squeaks and blemishes you’d expect from a 20 yr old Volvo. I’d love to keep it but am interested in finding an AWD Volvo for my daily instead.

$4200 takes it, the good and the bad. Non negotiable. Any less and I just won’t sell it.
