Got my heart (seriously) fixed on an 850 now! 850

posted by  someone claiming to be matty on  Sun Sep 22 22:41 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I had the same type of dilema when looking to buy an 850.I used to have a volvo 480.it started to experience problems due to the age so i thought it best to get something a bit newer.I was in the process of saving up enough money to get one.There was a time when i had enough money to get the 93-94 850 with the old styling.I was so tempted to get one but never did.I then had a bit more money and was able to aford a fully loaded 95 T5.Im am so glad that i got it as i cannot want for more.

What im saying is if you love volvo's as much as me then get the best you can afford.Go for a turbo if you can as they are more effortless to drive and give you 2 types of performance,smooth cruising or slam your foot down and feel the g-force.for a 1.5 tonne car does it shift!

The 95+ models are rounded more and do look modern.I think the 93-94 look dated.This can be helped though,if you get one with alloys,spoiler etc then this improves the cars look.
