My '95 volvo wagon 850 is tops. Love everything about it. Hoping it lasts for a million miles. Never had such a great car. I see why it's called a ' flying brick'. I highly recommend it. Best ride ever.

Caught salesman in a lie. Bought car anyway. Paid cheap money, fixed what was wrong, flipped car, made $2500 clear. Beware OF $250. PAPERWORK FEE. Don't pay it. Negotiate price, never pay fee.

I purchased this car new while stationed in Europe in 1994, an 850 Turbo sedan. Ran it hard on the German Autobahn, routinely at 120+ MPH, even hit 151 MPH a time or two with it before the governor kicked in. Later, my wife was in an accident when she was clipped by a drunk driver, car was repaired. Best car I've ever owned, although it has had a few problems. A transmission sensor went bad when my wife spun the wheels trying to get unstuck from a snow drift. We didn't have winter tires at the time. (1996?) Had to replace alternator in 2006, when it went it took the battery and some of the dash LEDs (approx 100,000 miles?) Odometer quit working in 2009 at about 118,000 miles Rear knock sensor went bad, resulting in constant check engine light. Minor oil leak around the turbo. I also replaced the front struts and bearings at some point, but that's normal wear & tear. I hit a deer in 2007, which technically totaled the car. But I kept driving it anyway, and kind of let it go. Due to the odometer, I don't know my exact mileage, but I think it's around 175,000. Unfortunately, I tested the airbags in Nov 2013 by sliding off a gravel road, head-on into a utility pole. They worked, and I walked away with some seat belt bruises and minor abrasions. But now the car is TOTALLY totaled. (RIP, 19 years with one car is a pretty good run, yes?) I have now replaced it with a '97 850 wagon. I only hope it is as good!

They have nice collection of cars and nice salespersons, however prices exceed the value of the cars a lot.

I purchased my 95 850 (base model with cold weather package) as a 2nd vehicle/back up. At the time it only had 58k miles. When I came back from my deployment in 2005, I gave the car to my Dad (retired) and he used it to drive around town and run errands. After he passed in 2010, the car was rarely driven and was used probably for family members visiting from out of town or by local nieces/nephews -- and not really maintained all that well. In 2019, I asked my Mom if she wanted to sell it - and of course she said no because it reminded her of my Dad. As a Volvo man since my early 20's and a lover and restorer of vintage cars and motorcycles, I resurrected this trusty but tired 850 (to include all mechanical repairs and service, paint, upholstery, etc.,). And all I can say now, is that I love this more now than even when first bought it. With only 117k on the ODO, it's just now broken-in. Sure, it required a little investment to resurrect it, but it's been well worth it. I've had a couple of S70s, but I believe the 100% Manufactured in Sweden models were better and more solidly built. I have a 2017 S60 that has the Polestar Tuning upgrade. And while it has amazing performance and all the bells/whistles, there's just something about my 850 that I find more endearing/alluring and comforting. It's a solid, simple, classic car that I would have a hard very difficult time parting with. I'd sell my S60 before I got rid of this car. To me, the 850 platform was Volvo's finest hour in the 20th century, and it still is very capable in it's 20th century R-iterations even in the 21st century. If you find one that has been well maintained, buy it. Keep up the maintenance, and you'll have a fantastic and great return on your investment.
