Is there a better model year? 850

A 5sp 850 with rear seat heaters is almost certainly a Canadian car, so condition and provenance are certainly suspect.

As another poster said, it comes down to the car. You would much rather have a well cared for 94 than a beat 98. Find a good independent Volvo mechanic who will evaluate the car before you buy. Expect to pay $50 - $100 per car for his time, the cost will repay itself 100 times over.

BTW. A co-worker was looking for a car for her teenage son. I told her the most dangerous car her son could buy was a 240 Station Wagon.

With a odd look, she asked, "Why?".

"Sleeps 4" was the answer.

Good luck
