Dive in to Volvo 850? - 1997
After checking CARFAX I have discovered that the car was in an accident about a year ago (cannot tell from the exterior). Also, the title was never listed as a FLEET but it was listed/sold at an auction as a FLEET (hmm?).
I intend to have a diagnostic survey performed to determine whether there are any hidden mechanical problems.
-Is there anything that I should pay specific attention to? (Evap. cooler/Air conditioning/Transmission/Brakes??)
I have seen a lot of negative information regarding the reliability of Volvos (with the exception of the 850 base model), am I getting myself into a mechanical mess?
Please let me know whether you believe this could be a lemon or a dream come true.
Looking forward to becoming an official member of the Volvo family!
