[ikp_77]

how much you guys recon a 850 r estate manual fsh 140 tho on the clock in good condition is worth 4 owners

[MrMopp]

Exactly what youre willing to pay for it in the current climate :)

[t5 pete]

as mr mop has said there only worth what you are willing to pay these days

[ikp_77]

its a p reg i will give 1500 and thats it i think

[t5 pete]

£1500 isnt a bad price as long as its got good service history and everything is up to scratch.
The things to look for or ask about is when was the timing belt last changed also the clutch etc there cheep enough if you can do it your self but starts to get expensive when your paying some one to do it for you also how much tax and test is left and whats the tyres like.

To get an idea of prices try searching for 850R or 850 T5R on ebay then checking the completed listings.

I think, personally, you may have to up your price in mind to secure the car if you really want it.

[ikp_77]

yep most certainly is my car
i think you will struggle to get a manual for that sort of money dude unless its humped or needed a fair bit of work done
you never know tho we are in sum trying times

[ikp_77]

it is a very nice car that mate i mite have to up my price a bit why you selling your car mate

[t5 pete]

Yeah it looks a nice motor but the timing belt has done nearly 50k and i would want to change it i know volvo say every 80k or 8 yrs but i always do myne every 40k or 4 yrs also the wheels need a refurb and theres lacqure peel which needs sorting.
So unless its me not liking to pay lots i dont think £1500 is a bad price.

[ikp_77]

well i will wach it on ebay see how it dose there was a red 1 on and it went for 1450 auto 16300 miles 2 owners fsh the same car is on piston heads for 1850 from the same place cumbria sumit up wif that 1 me thinks

[tandino]

You cannot compare auto and manual 850R's, two totally different cars in terms of spec and equipment...

[unforgiven]

i have bought a M3 hence the volvo is for sale
in the book volvo have stamped it saying next cam belt change due at 160k
the last 2 850R's that sold on ebay were both auto's and higher miles than my car so i would expect mine should go for more
i put it on pistonheads @ £2495 which i feel is very respectable given that the only other manual R estate i saw at the time was £3995 on auto trader
my car is not a dog or sum rusty rot box
i even had sum joker offer me £1200
