Hmm, sounds like a definite typo to me. Perhaps it's been hit? I will glad
trade my '92 325i for it if it's all in one piece and doesn't need a new
drivetrain. :-) I strongly suspect the add was screwed up. I think they
probably meant a VOLVO 850 Turbo. A '95 would be in the $20k range so that's
most probable. Maybe the price was just misprinted. It's happened plenty of
times before. About 6 months ago here in the Cincinnati Enquirer, I saw what
sounded like an awesome '86 636csi for like $3,500. Turns out he wanted more
like $13,500 for it. Some things are just too good to be true, oh well. :-)
