Just bought a 1994 Volvo 850 2.5 SE for 425 pounds. Superb motor, practical, solidly built and hopefully will last a lot more than the 200k miles already on it. I cannot believe that a 11 year old car can be in such superb condition. The underneath looks better than my 5 year old Alfa. The engine burns a little oil and shows some signs of crankcase ventilation, but if the car lasts me a year and dies ( not that I'd expect it to ) then I'll have had my moneys' worth. Being a newbie ( or should that be an oldbie ), I thought I would mention that I'm no spring chicken anymore, and the choice of a Volvo is indicative of that, so can anyone point me to a tweed cap to suit the image. The old mans' car seems to have attracted hotrodders and the like, probably due to that T5 engine, but be honest with yourself you young pups, you're all Dai-Cap wearers at heart, you're just a little embarassed to admit it.
