volvo 850 reliability 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Allen on  Fri Dec 26 16:30 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have a 97 T-5 with 96K on it. I just replaced the front brakes and rotors a couple of weeks ago. I love this car. I have had it for 4 years. The only things I have done are normal maint. items and a few performance upgrades. IPD upper strut brace, K&N filter, ss/kevlar brake lines and ATE high temp. fluid. When the exhaust goes, I will upgrade to the TME high flow from IPD.

The only broken part is the ABS/TRACS module. I may opt to fix it with a junkyard part or just leave it. We don't get too many days of really slippery roads in the S.F. Bay Area.

I plan to drive it as long as it will keep running.

My 87 740 GLE has 190K and it gets 30+mpg!
