Thank you lee, I will contact tom's foreign cars, I trust their parts. I am looking at a website to buy a used volvo 850, there is one 200K miles with 1500$, it needs timing belt, there is other one, 97,850 95k miles, with 2900$. they are in houston area close to me. I really need a car now.what to do? I love volvo, but the problem here is that all mecanic in this texas area do not work on them, and I could not take it to dealer to maintien it. I appreciate it Lee.

Story note. Firefox drove this car for another 10 years, and he now does all his own car work on multiple family and friends cars. His work is immortalized in the pages. Thst $5000 engine repair has paid back many, many times over
