Getting a new car!

[theox69]

What's up everyone,

So I'll be picking up my uncle's Volvo 850 turbo later on this week (Thursday).
I can't wait to drive it!
I'm not sure of the year, but I do know it has 126,xxx km on it, which is great for an old car, and it still pulls!

I'll post pics when I get it.

How many cases of labats, and E. coli infested geese can you fit in the rear?

850's are shit! volvos first fwd. always breaking down, expensive to maintain, and they were one of the first obdII cars. my buddys 94 is obdII and is always throwing a mil for stupid shit.

i think all folks are trying to say is that a used turbo volvo could potentially be a money pit.

My friend blew a HG in his 850 Turbo. What a pile.

[E30nate]

not that turbo volvos are money pits, just fwd ones. my brothers 240 has over 300k on it and still pulls like a freight train.

For what it's worth, I've never owned an 850 but as with any car, stay on top of maintenance and it should be fine. Cars don't take care of themselves.
