I took it for a test drive, it sure was nice to drive. I drove to a gas station and checked the trans fluid and the engine oil and they did not look as good as I would expect on a volvo with only 86k. If the trans fluid is a synthetic or a blend should it still be red in color? This was kind of light beige looking maybe like a really light engine oil. The motor oil was definately blackish and when I pulled ou the dip stick a small wisp of smoke came out of the tube. When the engine was at idle there was this small canister between the head and the firewall that had a purple tube going to it and a larger metal tube going into the case someplace that was viberating pretty significantly, do they all do that? Don't tell me thay made the flame traps that easy to acess! While going through the glove box I found out that the car was leased which makes me kind of uncomfortable, as I feel like people who lease cars and know they are not going to buy them are not going to take very good care of them. The business cards of where the car was bought and serviced were in the glove box and I copied the info down, but now I just feel like the car was not taken very well care of to justify the expense.
Thank you for all of your feedback, it has been really helpfull. I definately like the 850 series now; it does really feel like a volvo and it does feel safe.
