i sold a lemon of a V70R manual wagon though a volvo mechanic here in chicago. he was acting as escrow. it was low miles but needed probably a good 7k worth of work to bring it to even stage 0 and reliable.
as i was walking through the mechanics lot, i saw a 850 R wagon, kinda rough shape. He wasnt trying to sell it but i asked about it. 140k, newish timing belt. $1400. I bought it and it has been a reliable DD but it has some things that make me wonder if its actually an R. Paint is in very rough shape. some panels are faded and mismatched, i wonder if it got in an accident. R wagons should have a spoiler. mine doesnt. it doesnt have the R wheels. the bumpers arent painted red.
what do you guys think is the deal with it? its fun as hell to drive, and fast. just seems not everything is adding up. Title says R, its not rebuilt. Badge says R.
disregard the saab DDDDDDDDDDDD
