Does seem a tad over priced especialy in todays market. They wood effect steering wheel costs a few bob as does the wood effect centre consoul thats if it is gen Volvo.
Not sure it has been lowered even though the seller states it has, still has the nivomats but says has been lowered, I thought you would have to replace the nivomats to lower (could be wrong though)
It looks a clean enough car and may be a good buy but not at that price.

[Axl]

A tad over....about a £1k over in my book!, and bragging about 8 owners too!, if/when whoever buys it at the price needs a kick in the rs.

[stainesy]

LMAO i payed that for my GULL T-5 R. this car has been relisted on ebay a few times now. he is asking to much for it.

[Axl]

he is asking to much for it.

Yes he's taking the urine, no wonder its had 8 owners!, not somthing I'd brag about though. He must think its something REALLY spacial, here its again on the bay!

Rica Chip estimated 290 - 300 BHP ????????????

Is he having a giraffe ?

260 BHP MAYBE !

£2495 is way over value imho.

Just cause its got a Rica and some Eibach Shocks dont make it a P2 V70 ! Thats near on the sort of money they go for!

I bought my P reg 855 T5 CD for £850 with an R front end and 2 owners from new with only 120K on it.

Seems to be in a bit of a dream land this guy.

We'll see what it gets bid up to.

It seems whenever i read these sort of posts,that these cars are very

cheap(on your side of the pond):wave23d:

I mean in the UK and in the USA,here on the "old" continent however you'll

be lucky if you cab find one(perfect mechanicly and bodywise)for about

5000 euries.:wtf:

A real mint 854/855 T5/T5-R/R will set you back 10.000 easily.

[850twr]

lmao, well over, i paid 1800 for a mint 80k manual 1 owner fvsh car, so he hasnt got a chance, maybe half what he's asking at best! and by the way what are nivomats???

[walter leever]

nivomats-self regulating shock absorbers(back axcel):doh:

[Jimmie]

You guys have forgotten to mention it's a dealer thats selling it therfore take a percentage off his inflated price and see what it comes to.
He has to live as well and to do that he needs a profit.

I know its a "stealer" and they like to make profit, but theres doing that and taking the p155...he imo (and those above) IS the latter!

You surely dont know anything about running a business then by your comments!!.
You should try it ,its not all profit as some people think.

[850twr]

so does this nivomats have to be removed in order to lower the car?

[walter leever]

best thing is indeed to remove the novomats and then go for a coiloverset

for example: KW's:B_thumb:

[beppie boy]

Yes you will, unless someone's daft enough...better not say that, I'll only upset Jimmie again lol..

[Jimmie]

You wont upset me, been dealing to long and lifes to short.lol
What i infered was go and ask how much he will sell it for straight and that price depends on warranty etc.
Dont compare private price with a dealers.
Also not many dealers would sell a car this old it would go straight to auction.
I would also suspect that this is an x company car by just looking at it

[Alan M]

so does this nivomats have to be removed in order to lower the car?

I think that the shorter Nivomats are on the V70r and 850r and have different part numbers to the standard Nivomats on the other 850 models.

[walter leever]

I think that the shorter Nivomats are on the V70r and 850r and have different part numbers to the standard Nivomats on the other 850 models.

But you still have to remove them,otherwise it's trying to level the car

with shorter springs(possible not adviseble):worried:

[850twr]

so i'll need new rear shocks then? or is the nivomats a separate component?

[Murphy]

That's my old car and it is interesting to see read some of your comments. I can assure you it was immaculate when I bought and sold it, I did a few of the mods [inc RICA] and Andyb did the others. He was the previous owner:

I bought it like this January 2004:

And sold it like this Feb 2005:

Yeah you smoked me there, but 850s always were quicker up the drag strip, when was it cos if it was August 04 I was still stock

[lance]

Doh I can see the pic, that was my first time drag racing and Miss Whiplash did a 15.7 and a 15.3 on the best two runs and 16.2 on the worst. (Probably that one) If so you did a 15.2 on that run when I did an embarrsing 16.247 im a horder and still have my recipts!
EEeee them were the days

Walter, mine will be up for grabs in the new year and its a white left hand drive, if people are paying good money, PM me.....

[850twr]

well the auctions ended, 1550, reserve not met. lol.

[Alan M]

With the shorter Nivomats you can use shorter springs.

[Axl]

I'm not surprised
