What parts did you need? Could you not have taken them off a STD saloon t5, then possibly have sold this on as is or fixed and sold on.

I needed a new boot and other body parts this one come up if it wasn't for me buying it it would have gotten took off them and crushed. As the lads I got it off didn't have any insurance, Mot or tax it's not my fault it's an R it's a bonus for me and for others. ETTIENNE if u was that bothered about it u should have bought it when u had the chance or u could have offered me something I couldn't refuse I have already got three cars to maintain this has helped my gul out massively so nothing is going to waste mate

What difference does it make ..Hybusamini needed parts ..they were on this .. on the bright side 850R saloons are now rarer

I asked many times if it was forsale via pm and on thread, but you never got back to me ref buying it complete, I also asked Nottst5.

I would have made you a very good offer on the car a lot more than you get breaking it.

I understand the needs for parts and have all the parts you required here, or a possible swap for another R.

But it's in parts now at least parts came off before the crusher.

Only R I broke recently was the 855r with rot in the shell, I did try and sell it complete with the 6sp Brembo 4 pots etc, but in the end after 6 months of trying I had to break it as needed the space.

I made probably another 2k over what I would have sold it for which is always handy, other than that must have been nearly 4 years since I've broken an R up, just broke a 855 t5 for parts for the T5r that's coming now ish

But every Volvo R I own has been saved and the xc90 as well, I won't be selling any of them now, even p2r's are getting thin on the ground.

Sometimes there's no choice but to sell them on, or break them if you can't sell. In an ideal world it would be nice to keep them all going but sometimes it isn't option. Everyone has their own ££££ going on in their lives & cars cannot be always top priority

Definitely for sure there are logistical issues.

I did ask about buying complete for one reason there is only 2 854r's in teal left and would have saved it for that reason alone.

I'd have paid a good price as well.

PMSL it's ok saying that once the bull as bolted, you never offered me a price on the vehicle at all now it's being stripped your coming across as if you quoted a price to me...

How many left can be miles out. Natherns hasn't had tax, MOT or insurance for several years and I think it was an insurance total loss. Loads has T-5 on the V5 the same as lots of 2.4 T5s were down as 3ltr lol.

I think the best thing for an insurance total loss R that's been used illegally is to use it to keep several other cars on the road. Repairing it to an unsatisfactory standard helps nobody.
