Hi All,

I have been lurking in the volvo classified for a while now.
I blame SOWT. Since I started looking at the articles on them I never knew I lusted for a trusty luxury barge in the form of those Merc and BMW's.
I had never thought about volvos until my father in law , who is volvo loyal ( V70's XC70's and C70's ), encouraged me to buy a V40 2.0 SE Estate as my family wagon. I really enjoyed the car, loved the ride and I am looking to get myself another one. The one I have been looking at is

Now I have been reading the various forums about what to look for in 850's and I do like this one, seems a modestly modifed and well looked after car. The ad tells me a lot that I need to know as a questioning buyer, and because its in South Wales, I can actually get to see it. So I was hoping that those of you whom are more volvo headed than myself may advise me on if you think it could be a good car to own.

I am not sure on the price though... . I'll be moving from a 1tr fiesta to perhaps this volvo. I am trying to feed my lack of decent motor crisis.


I have emailed the chap but no response as yet! The tax is due soon, it doesn't mention when the MOT expires and I would have thought it could need another cambelt change. what do you chaps think ?

Cheers
KJ
