Volvo: Buying an 850, volvo 850 glt, 1993 volvo 850 glt


Question
Hi Jimmy,
I am looking at buying a 1993 Volvo 850 GLT with about 166,000 miles. It looks very clean inside and out and runs very smoothly...anything I should be concerned about?  They were asking $3900 for it but will sacrifice for $3300 including tax and plates....thoughts?  Thanks much,  Scott VH

Answer
Hello Scott! I would stay away from it. The 93/850 can be a troublesome car. Especially the transmission. The price is also very high for the year and mileage. Keep looking. I'm sure something better will come along. I'll be here if you need me!
