just scored a 850 t5 saloon at last

[thesoundcriminal]

Was very sad to get rid of my 940 but needed lots spending on it so I sold it to a mechanic mate who is going to go through it. I sold it for 200 then was just looking on gumtree and I found a 850 t5 with stainless exhaust one owner for last 10 years full history and short mot for guess what £200 can`t wait to picking it up tomorrow. I loved the 940 but miss the sound of t 5 sooo much very excited. )

its the dogs drives like new, slightly sluggish in the accelerator pedal it feels stiff bit of travel. Turbo pulls well no smoke no overheating no squeaks. Its got a 3 inch full stainless exhaust and has been lowered was previously owned by a family the father worked for Volvo so its been looked after. Picks to follow tomorrow.

That is crazy cheap! Bargain.

[thesoundcriminal]

I think its karma I`m having a really crap time at work so some luck got to go my way love it. The noise of the engine is just unreal. Smiling ear to er.

[MaxTS]

I actually own two S70's haha.

So where are the pictures?? As to the noise, just wait until you de cat it and put a nicer exhaust on, you will be having the windows down in -1 degrees weather like me this morning.

He's already got a stainless cat back exhaust.

I have the same but it has a straight pipe at the rear and no back box, sounds great and not too loud or droney, not decatted though for me.

[thesoundcriminal]

I did the same this mornig lol oh and heathed seats lovely. I got a 156 with 167 k on it and its not bad but needs lots of new bushes abd stuff where qs the volvo is solid handles really well. Gobsmacked 200 quid first car I have never haggled over. They must hqve thought that I was a bit strange I just saw the books of paperwork handed her 200 before even starting the car lol how do I add pictures
