Thanks guys. I drove the car and it is great fun. I didn't feel like a geek driving it. The 5-cylinder engine sounds excellent. The Audi V6 is really too quiet. The 850 has been perfectly and meticulously maintained. The clutch is really strong and original. The car is tight and makes no strange sounds. I doubt there'd be any surprises from this car. My dad wants me to get the Volvo because insurance would be less, it's more fun to drive than the Audi, and I won't lose my wagon space which I use often. I think it will come down to which one I can get cheaper.

BTW, I will not buy a 740 or 760...they look terrible. I don't want another '60s technology Volvo like the 240. That's why I've sold it.
