Well just joined today.

I have been looking at a 1995 850 Turbo Wagon T5 please forgive if I screwed it up. Currently it has 190K miles on it, one owner car and it sounds like it has all of the service records to go with it. Car looks good inside and out minus the front bumper, not sure what the rear bumper looks like?

I have been looking through FPC Euro and RSPI's You Tube channels and have decided that buying a car like this for $2,000 is a worthwhile investment over say a $5K or so Honda Civic that might be 5 or so years newer. I love Honda's my last 3 cars have been Honda's but I am not happy with most of them as far as power goes and also space. Volvo and Honda cars seem to be built well and very user friendly when it comes to working on them yourself. Not sure if posting pics in here is the right thing to do or not, but I thought it would help in determining what all there was to this car. I am scheduled to look at it on Friday afternoon btw.

Thanks for taking a moment to look at this and if need be feel free to move this to a more appropriate section of the forums.

 

Also this is posted from the son of the owner who is a well liked and respected member, not easy to do on a motorcycle forum.

1995 Volvo 850 Turbo with 190k mommy miles. Very clean inside and out- with the exception of the front air dam that had some peeling paint (my old man though it would be a good idea to rattle can it- he's not allowed in my garage BTW). Meticulously maintained, recently serviced, all service records available. The primary mechanic will fully vouch for the auto's integrity.

 

Anybody want to chip in? Thanks
