Boought just last week as a run-a-bout to and from work. Has only 87K miles and is on overall good shape but it has been back to the dealer twice to fix the same problems and I only bought it a week ago. Gasoline leak, fixed and replaced the O ring from the hose to the tank-still leaks, in again to be fixed a second time. Anti freeze leak, replaced radiator cap, reclamped the hose, and still leaks. Again, back to the dealer for repair. Other than these irritating bugs, I like the car. It handles great, good on gas, seats are very comfortable, love the turbo, and I feel like a I got a good deal on the car at $6K. Other than these problems,
What a lemon!!

Bought as a second car to drive to work. Had only 87K miles. It turned out to be a real money pit and I traded the Volvo on a new Honda Civic. Overall, I liked the performance, the ride, and the feel of the car but had one problem after another. Bought used from Hoy Fox Volvo, El Paso, TX. Terrible service department, had to have several repairs done more than once before they were fixed. They kept telling me that it was an old car and I should expect some repairs. I know that but they had the car on several occasions to fix the same problems again and again. I asked them, "you're the Volvo dealer, if you can't fix it then who can?"

I have loved my 850 Turbo. This is our 4th Volvo and they just get better. Safe, quick, and easy to haul your family and their goods. Thinks to look for if you are buying a used 850: 1) Timing Belt changed at required interval 2) Make certain AC system blows cold. The evaporator is expensive to repair. 3) No "Check Engine Light" or "Abs" light 4) Make sure the brake rotors are free from warps, causing the steering wheel to shudder 5) Have a Volvo dealer do a pre- purchase inspection. If the car has not been abused, you can expect great quality and reliability from a used Volvo, even with high miles. Nonetheless, expect annual maintenance/repair to average $700-$1000.

This car, when running properly is fast, sharp looking and over all a good used car for the 8-10k price range. However it has cost about 2k+ per year in repairs (not including reg oil changes/tune ups).The problems have been broken pwr seats, new turbo charger, timing belts (2x), oil leaks/seals, sensors, etc etc etc. It is as expensive to maintain as a Mercedes and nowhere as dependable. I would never purchase another Volvo w/ out a warranty.
Great Car, Few minor tweaks

This volvo is my second car to own. Previously I had a unreliable Accord. My volvo is great, the turbo is a lot of fun, the stereo is great, performance is great. IT's a quite but fast car. My only issue is when you need a new part it's very pricy. Used turbo costs about 1,200 for full installation. I love this car.
