Which is the best Volvo Model? RWDs......

" buy a 945t and get your wallet out"

....maybe if you buy one that's been poorly maintained and/or if you don't do your own maintenance. My 20 yr old 745T (basically just an older version of the 945T) is far less costly to own/maintain than the newer FWDs/AWDs that I repair daily.
I also worked in Volvo dealers when RWDs were new (200s/700s/900s) and back then, we never saw problems like we do today with newer Volvos.
The best FWDs have been the 850s (minus the AC Evap issue) and even the '98 FWD X70s havent been too bad (yet costlier for owners in general) but I wouldn't own any '99 on up Volvo or advise one to anyone I know.
