Well I still haven't decided on which Volvo to get yet. I see so many great looking deals on Craigslist. I definitely want a 850 with Turbo that's for sure! But now can't decide (The 98 & up S70/V70's are in the picture as well!) Few more Q's for yall:

*What do the 850 "R" models have (upgrades) over the other models?
*Are there any "R" model station wagons?
*I see most are automatics. How hard is the 5 speed conversion on these? (I've done it on 2 of my Mustangs)
*Also, what are the upgrades considered on a 98-00 S70/V70 vs. the 850's?

Here's a few I've got my eye on. What do yall think?

I would go for the black on black 98 T5M, but he has it priced too high. People do not get their money back on extras on cars and that's what this guy is trying to do. Try offering him $5,000. The silver 95 850 looks pretty good too, but does not say how many miles.

 

+1... That's a BEAUTIFUL car!
