Thinking of getting a 95 with 100k 850

posted by  someone claiming to be rich g. on  Fri Jan 31 13:00 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi,
Some very good advice re: maintenance items which should be checked & verified with maint. records.
I think these 850`s can have longevity if maintained despite the experiences of some owners who state otherwise. My wife`s 95 855 turbo which was purchased 2 1/2 years ago at 66K now has 180K & is a high mileage 850 due to her daily commute plus several long trips. Has it been trouble free? Not really tho` nothing we couldn`t live with in terms of repairs. It`s been reliable overall, lots of FUN to drive & very comfortable for the daily commute.
We are definite "fans" of the 850 & we come from a long line of Volvo`s dating back to the 70`s. Think I`ll keep buying/driving Volvo`s.
My .02!
Good luck
Rich
