Thanks. It's "my precious", that's why I'm not able to let it go so easy.
Manny people asked why I'm driving such an old car. And of course it's not cheap in maintenance.
Although it's also not to bad. I usually get around with 1.000 euro per year.
And the times that I didn't get to 1000 in one year I made it up the following year.
(i'm not a technician so I do rely on a shop.)
This Volvo 850R is pretty well documented because I got almost every receipt going back to the first maintenance receipt in 1997.
It will not give the car extra value, but it's nice to see it has been well taken care of.
But since I have kids I can actually use the space the 850 has.
Going on holiday to Germany, Belgium, France and Austria, a Volvo 850R is made for driving long and far and it still cruises without any problems 180km/h on the Autobahn.
I'v done 240km/h as max, but not with my wife and children in the car
But the most satisfying of this car is it acceleration between 80 and 150 then the turbo is really present.
