I'm car shopping right now, and have found a '93 850 (non-turbo). It's in pretty good shape, well taken care of by a private garage that specializes in Volvos, with a small dent and slight tear in the driver's side leather. Now, it's got 212k miles on the clock. New exhaust, good rubber... in general not in need of anything. I have a 90 mile round trip drive twice a week, and then shorter trips around town from time to time. I'm a grad student, and don't drive much more than that, but I'm looking for something reliable. Does this seem like a good choice? It's an automatic, which worries me, since sticks seem to last longer, but that's about it. He's asking $1950, which is within my price range... but I can't afford a bunch of $1000 repairs... although a $500 one a year would seem reasonable and affordable to me. Any thoughts? Thanks a ton!
