I’m looking to buy this 1995 Volvo 850 T-5 R Sedan for $2300.

Engine: 5-Cyl. 2.3L Turbo
Trans: Automatic
Mileage: 226,000

Is this too much mileage? Do you think it will last 5 years? It had a carfax report attatched and it had perfect history. I am anxious to buy it but I am worried that it has too many miles on it. I have heard Volvo’s are very dependable cars so I don’t know. I would love input!

      that is a lot of mileage! i dont think it will last you five years unless you put some money into it, also you may get lucky and it may be a good car. i have a 1998 Lumina with 190,000 miles and no money into it other than brakes, tires and oil changes, regular maintenance stuff. but if i were you i wouldnt risk it

      oh yea, anything over 200k is too much, it’ll probably last 2 years the most good luck
