Do I Buy This '93 Manual Trans 850? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be 93 & 97 850's on  Mon Nov 24 00:11 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have a 93 850 glt 5 speed w/ 98 k on it, not a bad car I have had a few problem with ac leaking, I put two cans of r134a in a year, I had a sudden
stalling problem (new fuel pump relay). I had lots of front end work done
ball joint, control arm bushing , this work is cheap to fix.
there are eletric gremilin and seat back cable problem,

the car is a pretty slow but the 5 speed lets you get the most out of the engine, I would never buy a automatic volvo 850, at least the 5 speed can
be fixed for under 1000 buck with a new clutch that should last 80k.

850's are really easy to fix if you are handy there are tons of part
online and even used in junk yards,

overall my 93 has been a better car than my 97 850
