It inspires me to add another Volvo to the family! Perhaps I can use Lee for my next purchase as it seems that he has found some killer deals! I'm assuming that the 850's he bought were non-turbos? An 850 Turbo in good shape will easily fetch $3500-$5000 around here (Denver). This story rocks. It inspires me to add another Volvo to the family!

I wish I knew more about these cars back when I was looking. I probably would have taken the chances you have with your cars but I was ignorant and too chicken, so I'm sure I paid way too much for mine, but hey, I've never regretted owning and driving it for one minute! In terms of a soul, you are spot on about these cars! Volvo for Life! MIJ Hey Lee,

I really didn't know what I had I just new I was able to buy me a car for $700.00 that ran well. I got some neg feed back from friends and family like wow thats going to be expensive to get worked on. anyway as I have done some research on my car i have found many helpful tips . I haven't driven my car much. I bought a new battery and replacing vacuum hoses. I think I still have a vacuum leak but I am very optimistic about my car. I will be back to this site.

All I can say is wow its one hell of a car . I've driven numerous cars over the years and nothing gets close to the 850 for quality of the drive .
