Used Volvo Cars for Sale near Lethbridge, AB

Just over 130,000 miles on our 97 850t5. The car still runs and drives fantastic. We plan to still be driving it when it reaches 250,000. Keep maitaining them and they will just keep on going. Volvo 4 life...Other than the fact that it's a little dated being so square it still looks sporty. I see one year old cars that are worse than my 97. It's safe fast reliable and still a whole lot of fun.

A well built car that is safe and still fairly sporty. It has some understeer problems but it's still more powerful than most think. I have serviced it myself and it is cheap to maintain. The interior is also comfortable and functional.

This car was quiet, smooth, and had had a certain dignity. It was a great college car because it never broke and it was incredibly comfortable with all the luxery upgrades like leather, sunroof and heated power seats. This Volvo had a huge gas tank and even though I commuted 80 miles every weekend, I rarely had to fill it. I never had to maintain it more than fluids and tire rotations. It had tight brakes like any volvo, and slower acceleration due to its heavy body. Still, once the acceleration would kick in it was fast and easy to manuver. A downside was the boxy body, but that never bothered me because it was solid as a tank and great in the snow as it was so heavy. I got hit by a drunk driver in an suv that was speeding and ran a stop sign. My volvo was totalled, along with his truck which jumped a divider, but no one in my car was hurt. Both men in the truck had head injuries. This car was fantastic in the accident. I am alive today because of it's superior performance. I had a blast driving it and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy one.

It is rare. Only few thousand were ever made and in this color (anthracite grey), which was available only at the end of production even rarer. It was the most powerful Volvo built till date, it has 250 BHP and 350 Nm torque and is quite quick. It looks good. Sitting on dark 17" stock alloys is looking really sexy. It is a real sleeper. Most of the other drivers really do not expect it to be so powerful and quick (for an old boxy thing). I really like it a lot.

Owned and drove the Volvo 850 for many years. It was the first car I've ever drive. Performance: the 222 HP turbo charged engine give the driver one hell of a ride. It's an engine that's demanding a great driver to tame. Yet, it can be precise enough for anyone to control. The handing was superb was a car this size and weight and at its time. The state of the art, "Delta-link semi- independent rear suspension," prevent the car from under-steering for a front wheel drive car of course. Although I drove the automatic 4 speed transmission, it was very sporty. It's no wonder in the 90s the 850 was used in many motor sports and even in rally sport. Interior: It has one of the most luxurious interior for a car at its time. Leather seat, leather steering wheel. Exterior: from the outer appearance, it's not a beautiful car. It's big and it looks like a match box but who cares? Reliability: For Volvo, every of its first generation model's reliability are in serious question for reliability. However, the T5 on the other hand is one of the last in the 850 series. It is extremely reliable. Major repairs are only determined by driving habits. Gas milage: For a car with this kind of weight, power, engine, and age, it was considered good for its time. Averaging 12.5-13 Liters to 100 KM, a full tank can give you an average of 470 KM +-.
