Car Forum / Volvo Cars / December 2007850R what pit-falls??
Seen a nice 97 850R, all the bells and whistles, good comprehensive service history, below average miles. What are the pit-falls with these cars apart from a speeding ticket. ttfn....Alistair > Seen a nice 97 850R, all the bells and whistles, good comprehensive > service history, below average miles.

Make sure it is actually an R (right interior, and bumpers and wheels) and not a dressed up t5! Tim. . Its an auto.....Any ID on the VIN plate to id it as an 'R'? ttfn....Alistair >> Seen a nice 97 850R, all the bells and whistles, good comprehensive >> service history, below average miles.

If you got the vin number its easy to check if its an original R model. Else the R model has leather / alcantara interiour. T5 models have full leather or leather / cloth.

Just found a picture to show the interiour http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1889/img1537rt5.jpg Also the leather in the bottom of the steering wheel and on the parking brake handle is unique to the R model.

I have a '97 850 non-R and could not be happier. Chuck Fiedler Nothing but Volvo since 1974 |
