I need help and advice on a purchase of a Volvo 1997 850R sedan that I’m interested in. Here’s the skinny on the car:
It’s red, 144,000 miles
Volans wheels, plus Volans spare—all wheels in excellent condition.
BF Goodrich G Force sport tires 215/45zr/17 nearly new.
The paint and finish on the car is excellent—slight paint fade on the hood.
Interior is very clean. Seats have some creasing of the leather, but no cracks--great condition.

A pre-purchase inspection by my mechanic revealed:
Some dash lights burned out
Cracked CV boot
Needs a cam seal
Cruise control not working

The positives:
AC works fine
Rear seal OK
Plenty of power

Repairs will cost $375.

So what’s this car worth? I really need help with this.
We are in the midst of offering and counter-offering.

Many Thanks………Tifosi
