Volvo's Velour Upholstery? 850 1997

Hey all,

How does this stuff hold up compared to the skins of European Union cows? I'm considering purchase of a normally aspirated '97 manual transmission 850 with the velour.

Does it clean up well?
Does it last?

The last Volvo I had with velour was an '85 740 GLE, and the upholstery was looking pretty sorry at 408,000 miles, when I gave the car away and bought my current vehicle and daily driver in 1998, an '87 740 with leather that's given me nothing (the leather, that is) but trouble. In all other respects, the car has been a gem.

Thanks,

Chris
