96 850T with 90K Miles. Bought it new, change oil & filter every 5K (Mobil1 oil and filter), flush tranny every 20K (Mobil Synthetic),new air filter every 20K etc, etc. Have had two problems: Cam Position sensor went bad at 20K, fixed under warranty. Both exhaust valves burned in #3 cylinder at 55K--a fluke, thought to be caused by broken insulator from Bosh platinum plugs. Out of warranty, but Volvo paid half the cost (my cost $550).

Other than the two problems above, the car has been a sweethart. I agree with others, for the first time in my car buying life, I have no desire to even look at another car after owning this one 8 years. Lots of power, handles great very comfortable and still looks fabulous.
