Post by Guest »

I'm tired of driving a Honda everyday so I'm getting a Volvo. Was looking at a 94 850 GLT. I know that one difference between 850s from 93 to 97 is the OBD1 and OBD2 which is the same for just about all cars. But is there any Interior or exterior difference? I had a Probe and I know that there were differences in Interior and some exterior differences as the years went on. Just wondering. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

93 (Euro only) and 94s were significantly different than later models.

Wheels had only 4 bolts, headlights were taller, timing belt was rated at only 50k miles... just the couple things I can think of off the top of my head. Because of the headlight thing, replacement may be hard to come by if it cracks. Get a 95+.
