I love you all and I know you're probably peeved that I'm dumping my wagon for a TEMPORARY Wrangler.


That being said,

Find me some BADASS 850s in this color:

What's the reason for this? Too cool for the 850 now? Just Kidding. When are you getting another Volvo then?

As soon as I can.

I'm still not sure I want to trade for a Jeep, but no one really wants to buy a Volvo wagon.


I think that the teal one would look good with the five point R rims.



Is it possible to paint the plastic middle trim to match the rest of the car?

Actually I just called on it, and the guy said the teal car I could have for $2,000. He says its in perfect condition, new tires, and a bunch of parts. Sounds like a good deal.


But I don't have two grand...lol


They pop up all the time, so I don't fear not being able to own another.


Who knows, I may just keep the wagon.

But I have been finding 850's all over in the price range I'd like.


These cars don't go for much.

Which is why my next one will be one I plan on keeping.

I'm doing the Jeep deal for my benefit.

What do you think of this one?


What does the 94 have that the 95-97 doesn't?

I know the tails are different. What else?

Yeah screw that I'm not messing with a non-OBDII car.

Oh well. I was really starting to like that teal. It reminds me of the color on some of the S60R's


The search for the next 850 begins. The Jeep is a no-go

False. 94 is also OBDII. I just had my codes pulled using an OBDII scanner and I have a 94. As I just found out, different turbo housings. Haha. So if you ever plan on upgrading the exhaust on a 94 you have to get a different turbo housing. Otherwise they're pretty much similar.

Mine does. Lift up the "coin holder thing" and the OBDII port is right there. I'm pretty sure they all have it, it just wasn't standard yet, in 96 is when they became standard.

That purple tint looks terrible on a teal colored car. What was that owner thinking? Looks like he mighta been trying to turn it into a ricer.

That's not how it looked when originally put on, it's cheap tint. If you buy cheap tint, it looks normal at first but then fades to that ugly purple. You get what you pay for, and obviously, he didn't pay much.

The '94 and '95 turbos had both OBD-I and OBD-II. The n/a models don't, they are OBD-I only. Windex has a tendency to turn otherwise smoke colored tint purple.

Then that makes me part right too, because I said "I'm pretty sure", I never said that they all for sure do. Haha.
