Hi all. I am considering purchasing a used mid 90s volvo 850 turbo wagon. I have always loved the looks of these cars and finally decided I wanted to buy one. I was initially looking at the V70 XC, but in my price range, I can only get a late 90s model and I have been warned against one of these because of problems with the AWD system. So, now I am looking at 850 turbo wagons. I am looking at vehicles with high miles (90k - 130k). I will be using this as a second vehicle and for any long trips that I may go on.

Anyway, now to my question. What do I have to be concerned about when looking at a mid 90s 850 turo wagon? What are common problems with this vehicle that I may run into? Do these vehicles have significant problems to the poit where I should consider another type of vehicle?

Thanks, Mike
