    Smile I know it should be on the sticky but...

    If you live in Manchester this has to be an unmissable bargain - a T5R for £475 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLVO-850-T5-R...d=p3286.c0.m14

    Don't hit me Mrs Mopp!
    KISS Rs

    850R manual, Rica 310, IKEA fitted bathroom, H&C running water, Jetex 2.5", pipe rack, cap stand, Forge BOV, circular wheels with full 360 degree rotation, 302mm discs, IPD front and rear anti-roll bars, numerous shiny features, sub-atomic particle accelerator, VTOL capability ...Volvo With Attitude!!!
    Also to be seen in a gold Honda CR-V these days...

    hmm its been well used & abused. Despite a new engine it looks like its had a shunt at the front as the passenger side of the bonnet doesn't line up & the headlight wiper is missing. ECU box pipe is missing along with the airbox. The screen wash plumbing dangling everywhere. Holes in the dash where a phone holder used to be (blocking the glovebox as well lol), & look at the state of the wing in the close-up pic of the alloy, wheel arch lining has been ripped out & doesn't fit right & the paint has scrapped & looks like rust where the front mud flap should be

    But for a set of Volans, a front splitter, suspension and all the rest, still pretty cheap - of you have somewhere to break it.

    to break i think you'd struggle to get your money back, yes the wheels & the bumper would go well but don't think theirs much salvagable from the rest. The suspension will be past its sell by date & think you'd have a job to get rid of the body or interior in that condition
