which model 850 do I have? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Todd on  Sun Feb 15 01:22 CST 2004 [RELATED]

O.K. Here's one for ya'. I'm trying to figure out if my Volvo was originally built with these features or if someones been toying with it. It's a '97 Turbo Wagon. It says the build date is 4-96 on the door which seems a little early for a '97 but carfax and the title list it as a '97 turbo. It has the 16" 5 spoke wheels from the '96 limited edition turbo and it also has the standard front air dam with the inclusion of fog lamps, from the limited edition also. It does not have the lower air dam of the "R" car. It is not pearl white like the limited edition, it is plain white and the badge on the tailgate says T-5R. I know that this is a fake because this car would have been an 850 R at this point anyway. It does not have the suede inserts in the seats but it does have an almost black leather interior that I haven't seen on anything but an early 850 ('93 or '94), it's usually a much more medium grey. Carfax shows no wrecks or salvage (I know that's not 100% accurate, especially on the wrecks) but this doesn't add up. Please help.
