lol yea bro'



Anyways, so I stumble upon this cl ad (twice now) and I was thinking meh.. this thing must beat up to hell (car had 175k miles for 3200 when he first advertised it).

So ad read '97 850 turbo wagon, but when I looked closer he showed a picture of the inside, I saw the the trim color was dark walnut. hmmm.

When I got the reply, he stated that he was coincidentally in Houston (car was listed 4hrs away from Houston) and he would love to show me. When I arrived, it was nothing like what the ad made it sound like.

Perfect R interior, Perfect paint, in exception of the R bumper but it only need paint, it's not cracked :), dash is SOLID, no rattles, no suspension clunks of any kind.

The owner (only 1 owner car), claimed the 175k to be true, but he left out a little detail...(Volvo had his entire engine bottom rebuilt, :)) @150k. Meaning, new RMS, Rod bearings, seals, pistons rings, camshafts seals, t-belt) the whole shibangbang! Only because he was on an extended aftermarket warranty, and said he heard a noise on the bottom end, so Volvo re-did the entire thing, and he gave me the bill to show me :0.

The gentleman, is a 78 year old retired Latin America Colgate Executive and had this one special delivered. The reason for selling, the ABS came on and the dealer had quoted him almost 2k in repairs, but he's more into his E63 wagon nowdays.. lol must be nice, eh?

Frigging thing is sweet, he is the only person who's driven it; Brand new key FOB's, full service records from day 1, he stored the Volans and is shipping them to me next month.

Here are some pics...

Off to McKinney.. 2hrs on the road
