Just got me a '95 850 Turbo. Saw it and man, it looked fantastic, like new. 36K miles on it (!) and I swear it still had that new car smell. The leather looks like it's never even been sat on. I know I shoulda brought it to my mechanic and all, but I looked under the hood and it was just amazingly clean (looking). Plus, someone else almost bought it out from under me, so I just went ahead and did it. $11K plus my '92 Accord EX with 155K miles on it.

You all have been so helpful, just reading the posts here has given me a lot of insight into what I've gotten myself into here, and mostly I'm really happy about it. The A/C blows nice and cold, so that's a relief. Anyhow, a couple of questions:
Does anyone know a good Volvo mechanic in Cambridge/Somerville/Arlington MA? And is a dedicated Volvo guy (or woman... maybe even better still) important? My high school buddies who own the Sunoco station near where I work said to just bring it in to them. They took care of my Honda for a long time and they're good guys. I do get the sense that the Volvo is a finickier car than the Honda, but wow, it's soooo fun to drive I think it will be worth it.
Also, when I registered the car, the registration came back with 850GLT on it. I called my insurance guy, and he said that was how it was registered by the prior owner. But it doesn't say GLT on the body anywhere. It has leather/sunroof/TRACS and turbo, and it does say Turbo under the 850 emblem on the back. Does this tell me anything? Will this affect my insurance rates?

Thanks for all your help, this site is a great resource.
