1995 Volvo 850 review from North America
"Volvo for life.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well I bought the car knowing that it needed a left ball joint, and the air needed a shot of freon.
And the driver's seat is a little worn.
Speakers have a little rattle to them, but again the car is thirteen years old.
General comments?
I have always wanted an 850. I finally got it; yaaay... I found it in the local paper.
This car is in excellent condition, aside from a few small door dings, and the left wiper arm is off tune... but other than that, the car is pristine.
The original owner that I got it from maintained it very well; new parts all around.
For it being a thirteen year old car, it handles great, and it drives and accelerates smoothly.
I love it. I see it lasting a long time.
It's safe, reliable and I got it for a steal.
