posted by  someone claiming to be Lee on  Thu Oct 12 05:01 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I hit 200K this week and wanted to strut my odometer reading to the the Volvo crowd out there. I really appreciate this site and have pick up many solutions and ideas. There are many of you out there ( KlausC, Rule 308 MadeInJapan etc etc ) and you don't know how much it is appreciated to keep me centered and on track with my 850, thanks.

I know this site sees allot of problems but for me it has been rewarding and kept my cost down. I have been real fortunate not to have any major problems. Overall this has been a cheap car to own. everything works as it did when new (including the AC system) A summary from my maintenace/repair book (except tires) Again Many Thanks Lee
