Full maintenance history. Look for signs it's been well cared for even beyond the history. Ask what's recently been done and what work needs to be done. Take it to a mechanic you trust for a good inspection.

What is a 859 GST?

Here is the Volvo 850 Buyers Guilde that a few members put together:

Sorry Mate. It is a 1994 Volvo 850 GLT and I have bought it. The indicator stalk is broken and won't engage High Beam. The blower resistor is faulty and the fan stays on full blast and the glove box was jammed locked and the only way to open it was to brake the lock. Since then I have got all the parts second hand for $300.00 and will fit them tomorrow. Cheers.
