I am considering buying a used 850, general consensus? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Goober on  Mon Jun 16 03:12 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have driven 240 volvos for 25 years, and I am having a hard time finding a choice 240, so now I am considering an 850, and I would like a general consensus from the people that drive them, but most of all the people that work on them too. I have always done ALL of my own work on the 240's, and they are the simplest cars to work on. I am looking at a 1997 with 53000 miles on it for 14000 dollars. I will probably try to talk them down at least 1000 dollars. I don't want a turbo, as I feel they are more complicated, and I don't need the added expense, engine wear, and complication. I have never been a big fan of front wheel drive, so this is a big decision for me. So whats the scoop?
