Sorry for the LOONNNG delay. MY LOSS YOUR GAIN!! Now's your time to STEAL a deal on this car with less than 2days left!! HURRY!!

Beautiful last year model 850. Exceptional condition. No junk here. Unfortunately I don't have any records on this car, but if you know your Volvos, these cars are very affordable and easy to maintain. The car even has a few recent receipts, one showing a new O2 sensor and code clear. Also is a recent Illinois PASS emissions sheet! If you are concerned about the timing belt, no worries. I checked it and it looks fine, altho replacement is piece of mind...the belt is a whopping $53 over the counter FROM VOLVO! 1.5 hours to change it from your trusted mechanic = no worries. My $99 starting price ensures you can receive one of the best deals on ebay. If you need further comfort, please look up my main account name " justlikenew! " and you can see my nearly 10years of selling cars with my excellent feedbacks! Also please notice the many many Volvo sales. In the meantime....please inspect the 30+ pics and descriptions below and know you are bidding and buying an excellent specimen car. Any questions, feel free to call me directly at 815-744-RACE and my name is Eric. Thanks in advance for your interest and GOOD LUCK! NO RESERVE!

 

Front nose is in great shape with only the typical rock chips and no front or rear bumper cover damages. Body panels are super straight with no major dents with only a few dings that can easily be dentbusted if needed. The only eyesore on the entire car is the clearcoat peeled patches on the hood. See pics below. Not sure why, but it's there....no worries tho...you'll still love to cruise to and from the carwash!

Below you can see the excellent tread on the Pirelli tires with the fronts having more treadlife than the rears, on vibrations free rims. Absolutely to vibrations, excessive pulling or suspension noises at any speeds, smooth even at 75mph!

Here you can see the beautiful shine over the entire car is represented on every spot! Reflection acts as a mirror!

Interior is is excellent shape as well. No cuts, rips or tears in the leather to be seen. Loaded with all the options, with my only complaint being that the climate control selector is stuck in the VENT position. A quick trip to the junkyard should net you an easy replacement fix. Everything powerwise seems to work as it should but the driver's heated seat didn't seem to get very hot. Sunroof, windows, A/C blows cold, even have the radio code! Notice...NO dummy lights on during run and ALL the lights illuminate as they should upon startup.

Engine starts and runs great. Transmission shifts properly in any mode. Brakes feel fine and operate properly. I just changed the oil and the Interstate battery looks very recent as well. Get in and drive home. The only thing mechanically that the car will need is a tiny exhaust repair. There is a small leak from what seems to be right after the converter. Easy fix and for whatever the cost, I'll gladly take it to my muffler shop and have it fixed and you can reimburse me upon pickup of the car. Or you can leave it if you don't mind the little noise it makes. Otherwise...no issues. No worries. No hassles. Bid, Buy, and Drive ANYWHERE with 100% confidence! NO RESERVE!

And now the fine print: This car is up for sale in IL, brought to you by your's truly, Eric Peterson aka "justlikenew!" Venue of sale is Will County Illinois. NO HIDDEN FEES. ALL buyers are responsible for standard $99 DOC fee. ILLINOIS buyers are responsible for 7% sales tax, Title transfer fee ($65), license plate purchase ($79) OR current valid passenger car license plate transfer ($15). Chicago residents are subject to your lovely increase in sales tax as well, yet I believe it's still about 1-2% LESS than "in Chicago" charges. Here are the "other" states our silly state MUST LEGALLY collect sales tax for:
AZ-5.60% CA-6.25% FL-6% HI-4% IN-7% MA-5% MI-6% SC-5%up to a max of $300
Once in a GREAT while....as-in barely happens....the title may NOT be in hand. When I say that, I don't mean that it doesn't exist or something is wrong with the car. Just that my cars tend to be trade-ins and sometimes the title is being retrieved from the original bank/finance company/dealership. Cars move in and out of places well before the paperwork does. If for some reason this issue arrises, you will be issued ALL associated paperwork(including a signed sheet stating the staus of title), the car, the keys, as normal and I will NEXT DAY AIR the title to you, the buyer, immediately upon receipt of it. I honestly think the longest I've ever waited was a few BUSINESS days. No questions. No worries.

Car is sold AS-IS/AS-Shown with no warranty expressed or implied. Please inspect my FLAWLESS feedbacks personally selling vehicles since 2000 and know that I'm on YOUR side when it comes to a sale and strive to make you 100% satisfied like my prior customers. Seriously, I'm NOT here to make eBay any more wealthy than they already are. Without sellers like me and buyers like you, THEY don't make a dime. I don't mind paying for advertising, but It currently costs ME...OVER $120+ to SELL this vehicle to you so I absolutely reserve the right to sell this car locally. This also includes making the deal go thru possibly during the LAST 12 hours of this auction. If a deposit is made BEFORE end of auction or DURING the last 12 hours, I WILL (hint hint) sell it!! Sorry, but in THIS economy and with all the tire-kickers and NON PAYING BIDDERS (eBay KEEPS MY $120+ sell fees for OVER 15days if nobody pays) and wait-times for winning bidders deposits/payments/etc, I'm sure you can understand the "money in hand" principle. So...if you decide to wait until the LAST second to bid...great! I thank you in advance for your interest!

Naturally I will assist you to get the car shipped to your choice of location. I have used many in the past with excellent results. Please contact me for the phone #s for those companies. Shipping charges/costs are the responsibility of the bidder/buyer.

Transportation to and from local trainstations/airports is available. Ride Amtrak/Metra into Joliet IL station and get picked up for free. Midway Airport (CHI-MDW) is preferred for a small gas charge. O'hare as a LAST RESORT please, as it is a much LONGER drive riddled with tolls and traffic. Please plan accordingly but understand I'll help make it happen.

I assume you have read this ad entirely now that you are to THIS section. Thank you. Surely, you've ALSO noticed my feedbacks...simply put...I can explain the "ONE" mark if you even care via email and will happily show you what I've had to deal with. Below I have added some VERY useful information regarding this vehicle. Sorry I have to bring this "issue" up, but I've been getting some REDICULOUSLY UNREALISTIC offers for my cars lately, along with non-paying bidders...even an extortion attempt! I know the economy is bad and the market has fallen, but...THE CURRENT BID IS NOT THE ASKING PRICE!!! Please don't call or email me with an offer of $1000 for a vehicle worth THOUSANDS more. Seriously folks...I specialize in $2000-$6000 cars that are usually high milers and in extremely well kept condition. I hand pick these cars from a wide selection and sell them under the notion that I would personally own it. I also personally drive each and every car to ensure it's reliabilty. It takes days and sometimes weeks for this process. I irritate my bosses regularly, but that's how I operate. I even personally drive a 1998 Volvo S70 with 199K miles on it. That said, I ALSO do MASSIVE research to predict the vehicle's sale price BEFORE I list it with a NO RESERVE auction. I wouldn't take the chance otherwise. Theoretically the vehicle could end at $1000....but would YOU let it sit here and NOT bid on it?? Of course not. Now think of the DOZENS of watchers that I have on this vehicle that are waiting to jump on a great deal. PLEASE be realistic when shopping, bidding and buying. If you are truly in the market for this sort of vehicle, you KNOW what they are selling for on the street. This isn't a game and it all costs money and HUGE amounts of time on my part, as you can see with my 30+ pics and specific details. Surely my ads are above and beyond the "norm" that you see here on eBay and my feedback speaks for itself. I'm an ebay vetran, ID verified, and a Powerseller. If you have ANY questions or are just curious about how something works on eBay...just give me a call or throw an email. I'm here to help! Thanks for your interest and understanding!
