Hi,
I'm new to these forums and have searched to see if "looking for" posts are acceptable or not. I didn't find any conclusive answers either way. If these are not allowed, let me know and I will delete it.
I am currently on the hunt for a Volvo 850 wagon. I would like to get either and R type or a t-5. I live near the Portland area and can travel throughout Oregon and Washington for the right deal, ideally the I-5 corridor. The car can have minor issues, I have a great mechanic who does a good job and is reasonably priced. I want to avoid huge mechanical issues, engine and tranny problems. Clean title too. I am motivated to buy and won't waste anyones time kicking tires but I also want to make sure I'm getting a good car. I would like the miles to be under or around 150k but can be flexible for the right wagon.
Thanks. Again, if this is wrong in any way just let me know and I'll delete it ASAP.
