I bought an extended warranty with my 850. Well worth it. Two transmissions replaced. Had to pay for the AC myself as it was past 100kmiles.

Watch out for the A pillar weakness where the door return mechanism operates. The steel is just too thin and the design is poor. It is a $600 job to fix. Get it checked before too late.

The quality of all Volvos is suspect after 92. My 92 had 288k miles and in perfect condition when we gave it to a neighbor's son for college. My 93 was at 140k miles when we sold it to a mechanic for $1000 with all of it's problems.

just my 2 cents.
