Well the '95 855T rolled down the road today with a new owner. 224,000 miles and the car still ran like a scalded cat.

Lots of new parts over the last two years as the plan was to keep it but the wife loves her newish V70 and the the green Swedish Rocket Sled is no more.

Guess this means I'll hang around on another AWD tab, V70 XC70.

Cheers,

Erwin

I just found half of my rattles in my new 1995 855T, when I flipped down the rear seats to make for a very large cargo space. Time to wrap tape around the posts that lock the seats in the upright position and clean up the annoying noise.

Yes, that old car of yours is still a 'rocket' at 20 years old. MN will let me get 'collector' plates for my car, which I just might do. If the oil leaks can be stopped.

Keeping it running is better than buying new

Most of the rattles and squeaks were the broken dash mounts, the broken rear hatch cover mounts (again), the CD changer cover and the glovebox lid hanging on by the vinyl.

Between the leaking trans and the dashboard needing to be pulled to fix the mounts, might as well do the evaporator too, it was time to say so long.

Got a good price for it and the new owner got a box with three Mann oil filters, two door straps, a coolant hose, well used Haynes manual, about 8 quarts of 10w30 and a jug of ATF.

Good luck with your new acquisition, they are very fun cars.
