Hello from Milwaukee, Wi.

Post by jhollis1 »

Hello Everyone and congrats on the fantastic website. I am a fellow Volvoholic (according to my wife). I am the proud owner of a 1994 850 wagon. I used to own a 1983 240DL wagon(450,000 miles), and currently driving my 94 wagon with 320,000 miles! Also, I am helping a friend rebuild a 1967 1800S with my wifes undying patience. I have used your site in the past, and I thought it was high time I joined and participated in the forums If I can. Keep up the great work Guys! Thanks, Jason Hollis "Volvos Maximus Afficiandos"

VOLVO FOR LIFE!

Welcome aboard, jhollis1!
You will be a great asset for those trying to extend their miles well beyond the 200K mile mark. Anything you can share about upkeep after the 3rd and 4th timing belt would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,

Hello Jason from Menomonee Falls, WI..

You have a good choice of a vehicle and hopefully I can catch up to you on mileage (now only 232,000 miles on our 94 wagon). These guys are great in answering questions and almost every day I find more information that will help keep the car going. Hopefully you too will save a lot of money on doing any repairs yourself. Their part suppliers listed above are also a good source for parts. Good luck and keep us posted on your experiences.
