Used Volvo Cars for Sale near Port Alberni, BC

The 850 wagon replaced the venerable 240 wagon and was Volvos first foray into FWD, a first for Volvo. Also gone was the typical red block motor and in its place was the now renown Porsche designed 5 Cyclinder DOHC. Now the power was there along with the refined looks of the Volvo 850 Sportwagon. This was not your parents Volvo. This Volvo moved very much upstream from the 240 and embraced buyers that did not consider a Volvo.

I love my car... Call her a "Soccer Mom Car" if you will... But, for a 5 cylinder turbo with over 200k... She has got some gonads. Just saying. None the less, she is a freaking tank. No rust. Best turning radius ever. Maintenance wise? In the 3+ years I have owned her, I have put less than $1500 into her... Remind you again, she has over 200k. She may be a box, but I think she is a cutie. :)

Greatest car ever bought. Kicks the ass off any 4-door North American P.O.S. Well built, handles well, stops well. Always runs, easy to fix, built to last 20 years. I have 2 others also, My 94 has 330,000+ km's on it. It still has the original transmission and engine. No major work has been needed in the 5 years I have beaten this car.

Performance - Great Acceleration, Solid braking, possibly needs afew bushes replacing to fix the handleing Build Quality - Great 200000miles and still going strong Appearance - Great if you like boxy estates, Fantastic colour Cost of Ownership - fairly reasonable, uses abit of fuel mind?! Fun Factor - 5/10

Very good car. Not always the most attractive, but is still a well-make piece of machinery.
