96 Volvo 850 turbo

As the title says it is an automatic 96 Volvo 850 turbo. It is black and the body is in pretty good condition and interior is a bit rough but not horrible. It has 115,xxx on the clock currently. It has what the former seller claimed as "all options". I would agree with that the only thing I noticed is no cd player or third row seat. I think the person before him probably took out the 6 disc. It has leather, heated seats, and power everything. I bought it a few months ago for $2300 as a daily driver. I ended up having some issues and changed the battery and thermostat. I had a friend who is a volvo mechanic so I bought this thinking if I had any issues he would be able to help me out. He has since been uncontactable (women always bringing men down!). Before he stopped answering calls he gave me a list of things that it needed. The only things it needed I did not repair were the radiator and the rear shocks. I bought those but not being mechanically inclined and not having friends familiar with Volvo's I can not install them and don't want to have a shop charge me. It is currently not starting I believe due to not having coolant and sitting cold for a few months. It does crank just does not turn over. I would let you work on it at my house but my driveway is at a big slant and hard to work on. It would need to be towed. So I am looking for an even trade for a daily driver. I do not have any specific request for things I want. I will tell you I am not a fan of honda/acura's but if you have an offer throw it out and I may take it. With the right offer will also except cash. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
