Good Morning Everyone;

I am contemplating a "New" car for my wife, and the 850 has fallen onto the "Radar".

Are there better years or models to consider? I would really like to find her a wagon What are the usual repair items? Pitfalls? Cost of maintainence? Overall owner comments, suggestions, or opinions?

I am not a Volvo "Newbie" as I have had a 765t, and am on my second 245, I just wanted to consider something different for the wife, and would be doing all the maintainence myself.

Are there any good maintainence manuals for the 850?

Thank you all in advance for the generous gift of your time.

Mark
