I just read the other thread -- pretty funny coincidence. Steve, my independent shop guy had very little positive to say about any Volvo after 1995. According to him, anything prior to 1995 is generally great (but watch out for rust in CT), the 850 represents a kind of transition zone where the cars *can* go for a long time, but not reliably, and then everything after that is garbage. Is that your assessment as well?
The brand-new cars have moved quite a bit upmarket, judging by the price. Very popular here in the northeast.
