I'm currently in the process of looking for a new car. My sister just bought a 1996 960. I love it and she gets mad because I always want to drive it. I've started to look at Volvos more closely than I did in the past. Lately I have set my sights on a 1995 850 GLT Turbo. I have a few questions about this car. First of all, how expensive is it to replace the turbo? I have read that they tend to go out and it's quite pricey to fix it. Second, in a few screen shots I have seen the instrument cluster says to use premuim fuel only. Is this madatory or a recomendation? Seeing how I am entering my 3rd year of college and the way gas prices are going, premium can come at, well, a premium (sorry for the lame pun). Lastly, are these overall pretty good cars, I'm looking for a good car that will last roughly 5 or 6 years. What is a good price as well? The asking price is $6300. Is this high or low? I'm also considering a 1993 Acura Legend LS coupe and a 1997 Honda Accord LX. Any suggestions on any of these cars or others is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
