850 - too many problems 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be volvo fan on  Thu Aug 18 02:47 CST 2005 [RELATED]

sounds like you may have bought one that wasn't maintained well. a shame. Need to identify all the projected costs along with regular maintenance and determine what is acceptable to spend.

If the engine is in decent shape and the trans fluid looks ok, it is possible to get this back into shape and run it a long time...but it ain't gonna be cheap. if your this frustrated already, might be time to get a toyota or something that meets your expectations. or find a volvo in good shape. Did you not notice these problems when you picked it up 6 mos ago???
