New to Volvo

Hi guys, Last weekend I had rather a lot to drink... However the next morning Ebay told me I had bought an 850 T5 turbo estate. It's possibly the best drunk decision I've made! Although it's reading high mileage I went to view and collect on Monday morning, it's solid and runs great. The only thing that really lets it down is the paintwork, it has done the twin town 2016 rally and has been wrapped along the drivers side. I really like the look of the 850, so I've made a call to a friend of mine who runs an accident repair centre, I have the Volvo booked in for a respray mid September ðŸ˜ƒ I'll get some pictures uploaded once it's looking a little smarter of the before and after. Ash

Been there, done that, although never bought a car, just other pointless crap. Nice one. Worth a few bob in good condition these days

Cheers, well I'd always fancied an 850, so I wasn't too bothered and was rather looking forward to the trip to collect it. A quick test drive around the trading estate to warm it up and then a good 130 miles back home, it never missed a beat! Quite happy with it and I'll keep you posted :)
