Used 1996 Volvo 850 for Sale near Raleigh, NC

It gets great mileage even when you put your foot to the floor. The build of the car is quite well since it is 12+ years old and still looks and drives brand new. Appearance to some may be a box but it is one of the safest cars in the world. The cost of ownership in the beginning was high but if you get the main issues completed early you won't have much to worry about. Main issue is timing belt and associated parts, since they can including labor run you around $1700. Fun factor is pretty high up there since you have a car that looks inconspicuous but can still do at least 130 mph stock.

love it. the car had a nice grip of the road. performance is amazing. accels qucik and brakes fast. cost is low. runs forever. Amazingly fun of a car to drive. gives a awesome feel when the roof is open and the turbo is a great kick.

This car was hands down the quickest car I've driven in quite some time. And then the radiator, cv boots, pcv system, transmission, water pump, fuel pump, and rod knock had to be fixed.

getting past the looks which arent its strongest asset it goes well third gear pull is something else,brakes could be sharper,handlings a bit off the pace,more suited to blasting up and down the motorway as its very comfortable,build qualitys ok,its had the odd oil leak,tyres lasted 5000mls,brake pads lasted 3000,having said that i really do drive it like i stole it,it will wheelspin in 3rd gear doin 60mph in the wet if your really trying.the looks arent too bad although the boxy theme is continued on the inside,the blue interior to match the outside just looks naff.i have been impressed with its mpg averiging around 24mpg,overall im pleased with the car,i wouldnt hesitate to buy another driving it like you stole it its fun to drive

its pretty fast for a car of its size but the back end will not come out round the corners, also it isa disgusting colour tho that should be rectified soon along with some other exterior mods ie. wheels, spoiler ect ect
