OK...need some sound advise. '97 850 T-5 with 170k. Still love the car but have put in $1600 over the past month; two pulleys, a belt, a computer, radiator. Figure the car would fetch about $4500 now that it's fixed.

I have read the posts of 200k + as you have, but is there really a way to know you are in the "money pit" phase. Sell it while it's worth something or drive it into the ground ?

Unfortunately, Volvo makes nothing new that I'm even interested in. PLease weigh in !

Thanks.
