1995 850 T5-R (Yellow) For Sale

[jordi]

I have for sale my beloved T5-R Estate.

She has just over 150,000 miles on her with a full Volvo / Volvo specialist service history. Last service was on 28/07/08 at 148060 miles as due to a new car (and lack of money to keep on running her) she has been garaged since Feb '09 and we must now sadly part ways to pay for another project.

I have the original stamped up Volvo book to go with her, V5, MOT certs. and Tracker documents.

Internally she is in excellent condition as follows:-

Black leather / alacantra seats
Electric everything, seats (heated and memory), windows, mirrors, sunroof etc..
Climate control
Cruise control
Original 850 carpets and alloy door sills
Roller boot cover and roll away cargo nets
Manual gearbox

Externally she has unfortunately started to show some age and has slight fading on two doors and some small rust marks. The overall condition is good. For some reason this must be the only T5-R in the world without a boot spoiler

Upgrades include AP Racing brakes (overhauled in 2008, new discs, pads and caliper seals), Multi-Lock and tracker fitted. I didn't see any need to upgrade the performance. If I was going to die I think 155MPH (electronically limited) is quite fast enough in a FWD car.

Original T5-R alloys including spare.

Looking for offers in region of £2800. Please note due to being garaged she is currently SORN and out of MOT.

I can be contacted on 07985735523 OR daniel.j.jordison@googlemail.com

I apologise if forum replies are slow as I usually work away Mon to Fri.

Will this be sold with an MOT? I'm looking for a T5-R but £2800 seems quite steep for what is a cosmetically quite poor 850 with no MOT... No offence meant, but I highly doubt it's going anywhere at that price with no mot.

I can MOT car if required. However I am open to offers to sell as is.

Personally I think it needs MOT'd before you even consider advertising it.
I would get the external problems (paintwork) rectified as they show the car has been repaired before at some time.
£2,800 !!! I think you are way way out.. Ebay same car same mileage (different colour (not as funky)) item number 120500091001 and it's a year younger.
We are in a recessiom you know? Or is it differnt in Darlington?

If you dont ask you dont get.

This was up for sale a while back, the price is very unrealistic.
Are the discs AP or just the calipers?

I agree with you about the lack of mot and scabby paintwork the car you saw on Ebay was a T5,a T5R does command a higher price,also it is a manual which are also more desirable.Maybe the seller is just testing the market he did say he was open to offers,this could be a good project at the right price.Also the yellow ones are much sought after, god knows why.Mick.

Im now getting desperate for the space and am looking to sell her quicker. Looking for around £2500 ono. Hope you all find this a more reasonable price. Only other gul yellow T-5R i can find is £3950 on pistonheads. Not sure of it's overall condition.

I will consider Suzuki SJ or Samurai as part ex

If you want to sell it you've pretty much got to get it MoT'd IMO. Tax isn't really here or there as long as the price is right but an MoT is vital.
