Very rare 850 T5-R spotted for sale on Facebook Marketplace in March 2022, asking $33,000. This is the most desirable body / colour combo for the T5, and the car has the famous 5-cylinder turbo that brings the  brick from 0-100 in under 6 seconds and produces 181kw.. Exceptional for a mid-90s sport wagon.
