I'm sure I'll wreak the havoc of Swedish Gods with this post. The drive train and turbo may be about all that's bullet proof with these. How about the numerous a/c issues, ABS/Tracs control unit, air pump failure rate and related components, that have truly higher failer rates than many cars. Leather seats that are of poor quality and too mant electrical gremlins. Unless you love to work on these yourself and have deep pockets, think again. Like say, Japanese. Wish I had. My 97 850Turbo is my 3rd and last Volvo and theres not much that hasn't been replaced and I don't see an end and this was a carefully serviced car.
