Vehicle Overview
Description
Find us at deanemotors.ie In production between 1991 and 1997, the Volvo 850 gained its widespread appeal largely through the appearance of the T-5 estate in the BTCC, Tom Walkinshaw Racing having turned the somewhat staid wagon into a pukka Super Touring Car. Competition aside, the 850, whether with four doors or five, is a lovely bit of Nordic engineering: the 2.4-litre T-5 version you’re looking at here develops 222bhp and 251lb.ft of torque from its turbocharged inline-five engine, enough for it to reach the benchmark 62mph in 7.2 seconds on its way to a top speed of nigh-on 150mph. Incredibly, despite its looks and bank-vault engineering, it also only weighs around 1.5 tonnes, putting it on a par with the Nissan Leaf. This original Irish car will also last longer than modern electric cars and will keep charming you by the day. The Turquoise Pearl paint is largely original and presents extremely well bar a few small marks on bumper corners etc. All shut lines and panel gaps are also impressive and lead you to believe the car has lived a cherished life. The half-leather interior is every bit as impressive as everything else; with still-firm seats, almost no visible wear to face materials, and perfectly-damped precision to every control, it acts as a testament to Volvo build and quality control. Being a Volvo those front seats are heated which is a welcome extra with this range topping car. On the road… it gives smiles from ear to ear. That 5 cylinder growls but she also has a second side that will cruise comfortably and safely for many years to come. Being a manual car she is rare and being an original Irish car she ticks all the boxes for us. **Viewing strictly by appointment. All cars supplied with valid NCT where appropriate.**

I recently purchased an e46, 320Ci off Simon from Deane Motors. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. From the first call on Tuesday to picking up the car on Friday, the process was seamless! Someone who really knows their stuff and values his customers. Would highly recommend to anyone in the market.

I just got my Ferrari back from Simon and the lads today after a serious engine out service. They got straight into the job when the took in the car and had it back in a very reasonable timeframe. The lads kept me up to date throughout with videos, photos and general updates. You wouldn't get this level of transparency from a Main Dealer. There were unforeseen issues along the way but they just got on with it and were able to order awkward parts where possible and had parts made where they were not available or too expensive to buy. Very few mechanic operations left of this type in Ireland with this wealth of knowledge and experience and they are not afraid to work on the higher end old cars. I will definitely be back to them for any future maintenence. Now all I need is a dry day to enjoy this V8 on the backroads again!!

I’ve bought already 3 cars from Simon and Simon - such a stunning selection of cars for nearly any budget, and more importantly amazing after sale customer care. All 3 cars were in great condition with low mileage, ready to go to any car show. The latest one - Mercedes w201 has only 78k km (less than 50k miles!) in its 34 years, what a find by Simon and team! I had a small mechanical issue with one of the cars after the purchase - we arranged a repair and I was immediately provided with a replacement car (a wonderful experience on its own - a powerful beast with 250 bhp!). Was receiving updates on the repair and timing along the way in text messages, which was really nice. Always feeling welcomed and respected even buying comparatively cheaper cars. I could really feel their love to cars, knowledge and professionalism. I will for sure be back again and trade in for the next car!
