Default Will be gone from the boards for a while

Hey all,

First off I want to thank all of you for the help I've got on my Volvos. I have now owned two 850's and have loved them both.

I've grown out of my desire to own a wagon, so I am trying to sell the car which is proving to be difficult, as not many people want a wagon.


But, there is a gentleman interested in trading me a 95 Jeep Wrangler for my 850. It needs a little bit of body work, but since Jeeps hold their value and popularity much better than an 850 does outside of we Volvo gear heads, I believe I could sell the Jeep and get into a much nicer 850, C70, V70, or an S60 T-5.

There's nothing really wrong with my wagon other than an oil leak from the pan, some weird creak in the suspension when you turn the wheel to lock while parked or doing a SLOW U-turn, and a few other odds and ends things. I'm tired of the interior panels rattling. My 95 GLT NEVER sounded like my wagon did and rode amazingly. I am also actively hunting an R down, but that's also hard.

But fear not, folks, I'll still pop around here in off topic and the classifieds.


But hey, if anyone's up for a trade wagon for sedan, you know where to come.

Thanks all,

Aaron

Oh no guise.

I'll be back in the next few months with another 850, or an S70 if I can come across a good deal one one.

But the 850 sedan I will find will make me set for cars until one blows up.


And when I get the next 850. Its game on.

False alarm guys.


I decided that the Jeep wasn't for me. I realized that I needed to be totally sure on what I was doing, and after going out to eat tonight for my birthday and sitting around working on the wagon that I was too indecisive.

So, the quest will be to simply keep searching for the perfect 850 turbo sedan that I feel is good. We're talking mildly low mileage in excellent shape with up to date maintenance.


You're all stuck with me.

Two Volvo's are better than one.

I know right?

I may not find the "right one"

I did find a yellow T5R in Louisville for $5,400.

Too bad I don't have that kind of cash, eh?
