I am still researching the feasability of buying a good used 850 wagon. I just spoke to a Volvo specialist shop and was told that sticking brake calipers can bee a problem. Oh, easy repair I think, and then he tells me that calipers run about $800.00 per wheel. What shoild the job cost with new pads, rotors and calipers? There must be a good source for such parts.

What are the DYI'ers on this list paying to do this repair. He also about $400.00 for the 70Kmi timing belt change and maybe $700.00 the $140Kmi change which requires a tensioner. How difficult is a timing belt & tensioner change to do?
