I <3 Craig's List. Not just for the ability of people to try and sell their 14 year old couch for $900, but also for its incredible entertainment value. I take special pride in trying to write my ads with a personality. But this guy is really taking the cake. According to the seller, "I am sick and tired of getting hit on by milfs in their sexual prime because they think I'm some suave interwebs mogul as I am rearranging my golf clubs to fit more groceries in the massive trunk (yes, you could fit a bike in it). It can also fit at least 2 red haired persons <150 lbs"

His write up is sheer brilliance

Volvo 850R via Craig's List

You know what they say, "If it ain't a type R, it ain't a tight car!" -Benjamin Franklin (impressive!!!)

1996 Volvo 850R-white with cream interior made from the beasts of Europeprime panda scheme candidate.

Price:$$$$ALL YOUR BASE or 4000 dollars American Wtfbbqlinebreak

This baby is at 218 thousand miles now, and increasingly more miles are being driven in sport mode. (was 30k, but now its more, obviously)

Hokay, so, don't call asking about miles, because its in the ad, comments like "oh, well the miles are kinda high" will not be tolerated. This Volvo will smoke the doors off of e30 m3's in econ mode and will blow a passenger door off of e46's from a 60 roll, cause this thing is a highway monster. You'll surely be the king of streets, (no king status if your streets are run by Tokyo drifters, this is fwd)

If you want a fast car that is safe for your offspring choose this vehicle. You wife will love all the creature comforts but have no idea that the turbo 5cyl (wtf sweedes!??) is actually a large montana ranch that keeps over 240 horses.

Have you ever been to sea-fair and seen the Blue angels fly by? That is what this bad boy sounds like once you hit full boost and wastegates like whoa open up! I love this car, and have been commuting in it for a long time, but I am sick and tired of getting hit on by milfs in their sexual prime because they think I'm some suave interwebs mogul as I am rearranging my golf clubs to fit more groceries in the massive trunk (yes, you could fit a bike in it). It can also fit at least 2 red haired persons <150 lbs

This car has 218k miles, Wat? 218k miles 218k miles 218k miles 218k miles 218k miles 218k miles 218k miles.

Do not call asking about miles, it is stated in this ad like 9 times (less than last time), If you don't know that Volvos go to like half a million miles without maintenance than your personal savior must be modern medicine and your ignorance would have been the death of you in the middle ages. DO not call if this is you.

Although the miles seem high there is very little wrong, the work has been done by a DSM driver of who's dsm still runs, which speaks volumes more than some silly ASE certification. The marvelous Swedes designed this car, supposedly Volvos are born from space shuttles, which make them a little bit better than their retarded cousin the Saab (which was only born from jets :rolleyes: ) I would not recommend buying this vehicle for ghostriding purposes.

Right now it has some sort of kuhmo tires, probably all seasons, which are siped for uber traction. I took out the front tweeters and put in better door speakers cause Volvo sucks at making speakers. I highly recommend coming to look at the car before you decide to lowball the crap out of me. So, I'm not gonna say OBO, cause maybe I'm not OBO, but maybe I'm thinking OBO, but who knows. This car is rad, but speaking of rads, the radiator has a freaking leak and I don't want to spend 200 bucks to get a new one. It will for sure drive to seattle without the coolant res low light coming on. Did it last weekend.

Yea, the mileage makes this car less desirable.  Don’t you think it’s kind high?

Truly, that many miles on a maintained volvo engine means nothing. It’s less desirable only to people who know nothing of the volvos. If it weren’t in the absolute other corner of the country, I’d be all over it.
