Default The love affair begins...

Just a quick introduction before I start asking mechanical questions--

Got my first volvo a couple of months ago- Picked up a 1994 850 turbo wagon for $900, about 90kmiles on it... AND I LOVE IT! It's so FUN to drive! But then, I've never been one to have a slow vehicle . Not to mention I can lay the back seat down, and my dogs fit with room to spare! It sounds so crazy, but this 15 year old used car is already my favorite vehicle in the driveway!

It ran pretty rough when I picked it up, so I had the timing belt, radiator, and plugs, fuel filter, etc, changed immediately. It's still got a few issues, but I figure she will always need a little TLC to stay happy.

Well most older Volvos will need a little TLC here and there but in the bigger picture, you should have years of fun to drive her! I think we have been there when we got our Volvos, I know I did the same thing when I got my 850. Good Luck and post pics so we can see what you are driving.......................Welcome to the forum!
