Differences between '85 and '86? 200 85

posted by  someone claiming to be Anthony D. on  Mon May 28 08:04 CST 2001 [RELATED]

For about three months I owned a 1986 244 DL with the 4spd/ovd transmission. Decent car, but it needed lots of work and so I sold it and got a 1995 VW Golf. A year and a half later, I'm looking for a wagon, something utilitarian, solid, and attractive. Well, I'm thinking about Volvos again. I've found a really clean relatively low mileage '85 245 with the same transmission as my '86, but apart from the cosmetics (which I find more attractive on the '85 and older models) what are the differences that I should look for when I check out this car on the weekend? I want to know it all from major technical issues to small lighting details. Thanks guys.

Anthony
