HI all:

I am a 240 guy concidering a used '96 850 20valve manual trans.

I do not know anything about Volvo FWD 850 and beyond. While the car appears to be in fair condition is does have some valve tap and I am told losses 1/2 qt of oil in less than 500 miles.

Is this an indication of a big problem to come and are there any other issues of concern like the brakes, etc.?

Thanks
