1996 Volvo 850 2.5 20V CD 55k For Sale

1996 Volvo 850 2. 5 20V CD Saloon

This car has covered just over 55, 000 miles in 23 years of life, barely run in by it's three former owners. Gentleman purchased the car new from H. R Owen City & London South dealership, part exchanging his Volvo 744.

4 speed automatic gearbox, every possible factory extra that was available in 1996 has been fitted. These 850's are becoming harder to find with such low mileage and heritage.

In my opinion the best exterior colour available. Deep maroon red.

The engine is silky smooth, and barely been run in. Everything works as it should, and the car will cruise at 90 mph without a second thought.

Bodywork and underside are solid. Check the MOT history and there's no mention of any corrosion as the car was always garaged. I've spent £350 having the car fully detailed, with a multi stage machine polish to enhance the paintwork back to it's original glory. As you see in the pictures, it really is outstanding.

Paperwork present:

Full V5C document.

I bought the car from a chap in the Isle of Wight who used to live next door, when they moved I said how I'd always admired the car and if he was to ever sell, get in contact. He was selling to purchase a mobility vehicle because of his health.

It drives perfectly- no untoward noises or warning lights.

My intention when buying was to keep as I'm a keen Volvo enthusiast, however I recently acquired a T5 model which has made this one surplus to requirements. I'd like to keep both, but I'm lacking space.

Invite sensible offers.. however I'm in no rush to sell the car, would just like it to find a good home.

Any viewing or inspection welcome, test drives available with proof of insurance. Car is located in SS5, Essex.

Pricedrop! This much wanted model of the XC70-range, in the best colour and specs-combination, the Ocean Race. Imported from Japan in 2018, converted to LPG and since then, it has driven 140.000 highway-kilometres. The 2.5 liter turbo can last many more miles. Interior is still great, no signs of wear on seats or steeringwheel ...
