Well I'm getting old and now with my new little parts getter that came at the end of August I felt I needed something a little newer and more family oriented instead of a DSM as a daily driver. I just wanted something that was loaded and everything actually worked as I'm tired of wrenching on cars. So I sold the Galant VR4 and the Datsun and most of any car stuff I had besides my TIG and HF flux core. I missed my old Volvo I had but wanted something alittle better....so....I got a 96 850R. Black on black...black leather/suede inserts..gunmetal 17" Volans(Volvo names all their wheels) Sorry for the tiny *** pics. I left this morning and drove 3 hours to Chicago and then did some shopping on our way back. By the time we got back it was already dark out. I'll snap more pics tomorrow. The Galant was nice but I was always scared the thing was gonna break down and didn't want it to happen when it was -10 degrees out. Not saying it can't happen to the Volvo but you know what I mean.
I just like something about black sedans.
the old 850 turbo from about 2 years ago

God your such a pimp.
Those R's are ------- sweet as hell. Quick too even in stock form.

Is it auto or manual ? Manuals came with the slightly larger turbo from what Ive heard, and mod VERY well.
I want to see a fluxed up 3 inch exhaust in a week Henry !

Good luck with it dude. Its sweet.

It's nice having a nice vehicle that you don't have to worry about. Did you pay cash for it or is it a payment?

Manuals in 850's are pretty rare. Not super rare but not something seen too often. 850R's never came with a manual option for 96. Weird, I see more wagons that are manual then sedans. It's nice, it's completely stock with only slotted rotors. Interior is mint, no rust, just been buffed. 117k on the ticker for a 96 isn't too bad. Has all the service records. Can you say all this for......$4000. Only thing it really needs is some clips for the fender lining in passenger side wheel well, probably a new cd player(still has the stock cd/tape player). I used the cd player all the way home and when I ejected the cd after about 2 straight hours of playing it was burning hot. Toss in another cd and it didn't reconize it. Then tried the one I just took out and did the same. No biggie as I still have the the one from the Z. I've never been this pumped about a car I've ever had. I still have my Buddy Club bucket from the Z and my Yokohama Advan A048's so come autocross season I'll give her a shot.

I'm moving this summer to Tennessee and my funds ran out the Z. I just didn't feel like hauling down the Z or bring down 3 cars. Not to mention, my son was born in August so I'm not gonna be sitting out in the garage wrenching on ---- while my wife has to watch him. I'm not some deadbeat dad. A car I can wrench on anytime...these years of my son's life I can't get back later. Maybe once he gets older and can hang out with me in the garage then I'll find another Z but for the time being, wrenching isn't in my future for awhile. Here's what I've been spending all my time and money on lately.
