So far I get real positive feedback about 850's, especially '95 for some reason. That's the last year of non-OBDII and also the newest car that in my state does not require emissions inspection (besides obvious). I have a '95 850 Turbo Wagon to look at tomorrow. 145K miles and with good maintenance records, though the odometer has stopped at 100K. Sellers sounds honest and says he commuted to work on it and used for family stuff, so he knows how many miles are on since the odometer stopped. I have read about the odometer gears breaking on these, so not afraid of repairing, but is there a way to get the actual mileage using some sort of Volvo computer setup in these cars? The car does have the trip computer in it with gas mileage, etc.

Thanks everyone for feedback. I will be posting my progress here until I have a candidate.
