I've been driving Volvos since 1978. Have owned several of each rwd series except the six cylinders, one of each (loved the B30, hated the PRV).

Anyway, my latest 240 was rear-ended recently and I need another work car.
I'm retiring in two and a half years, so I need about 50,000 miles.

I would be very comfortable buying a 240 with 250,000, but competition is getting pretty fierce for decent ones.

Could I reasonably expect the same from an 850 with, say 175,000 on the clock?

What should I look for and avoid.

Thanks.

P.S. I'll be posting the same on the S70 board, so let me know your preference between the two.
