This is owned by a very good friend of mine. If you need any additional info please let me know. Also, I am sure he will do an Oppo discount

Actually, this looks like a pretty good idea. Not even kidding.

I bet he put it up for $2200 so when you come in and say $2000, that will be what he was actually looking for. He’ll be satisfied, you’ll think you beat him. Everyones happy. That paint is a good excuse to do this:

I’ve always been an 850R fan, and was honestly surprised to see that there was one within two hours from me at a reasonable price. Other than the odometer, is there anything absolutely pertinent that I need to know before I even consider purchasing it? I should point out that exterior cosmetics don’t really matter to me, but interior cosmetics do (I’m weird).

Apparently so.

That wouldn’t be cheap...but it’d be so good.

It’s a Friend of Oppo’s car, so it must be good.

So much yes.

For hoon purposes or actual car purposes?

Both. It will be my daily hooner.

So gold steelies, fender flares, rollcage, but keeping the heat and a/c, and comfortable seats? If so, I like.

The car runs and drives very well. Other than the paint and the stuck odometer there real are not any issues. The interior is great for its age and the heated seats even work. If you are interested, shoot him an email and let him know that I recommended you and he will give you a good deal on the price. The owner of the vehicle also owns the LS1 Miata that we swapped and he has extensive mechanical experience that included building the engine subframe from scratch.

Also, the post below was inspired by an engine that the owner of the Volvo and I built http://oppositelock.kinja.com/speed-on-a-bud…

i bet you could do the white and stripes for cheap. maybe just do the VOLVO 850 logo on the bottom.

That was Slant6, I saw his Tacoma in the flesh once. Pretty cool stuff.

I honestly might just do that.

Flares, alloys, lights, but stock interior. I’ll custom fab a snorkel for the intake box so it can ford water, and do some exhaust plumbing and add a short shifter, but it will otherwise be stock.

Hear me out: two LED light bars. One on the roof. Other in the lower grille.

Nah, man. 2 round rally lights mounted in the upper grille.

Yes. I like. But will they be clear or yellow?

G_Body_Man: Sponsored by the number 3 > Jack Does Cars

Yellow tinted, with rock shields. I’ll probably also throw on a set of mud flaps.

This actually sounds like a good idea.

And when I blow up the 1.6, I know how to put a boosted Tiburon V6 in one of these.
