Thanks for all of the info. Speak of the devil, while scouring Craigslist, I've found a '96 850 One-Owner with some weird option configurations. It's a 5-Speed (Just for you, Dwight!) with the GL trim. However, it has REAR seat heaters, a sport chassis without the rear spoiler, factory rear door speakers, a 6-CD changer, and although its a sedan, it has the integrated booster seat. Also included in the sale (for some extra pennies, of course) are a set of snow tire and a set of regular tires with Volvo 6-spoke Cetus wheels. The only thing that worries me is the fact that it smokes. On the ad, it states:

"Knowledgeable people have told me it is probably a valve guide or that the oil trap needs servicing or the engine may need rings."

Are these things indicators of more expensive repairs to come? Another thing that is coupled with the smoke issue: I'm not sure if it would pass a Pennsylvania emissions inspection. You guys probably know these things better than I do, and any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan
