Would you still prefer the 850 over the Cefiro?
Maintenance? The nearby gas station does that. hehehe. Just have to buy the filter from the dealer (~Php500.00). Luma din kasi MB namin (range '77-'87) so shadetree mechanic at DIY na din ang maintenance.

Parts are available from the dealer, online (may sticky sa www.volvospeed.com kung saan ok umorder ng parts). Locally, HABREC is the third-party part supplier and service provider for Volvos and other Euro sedans.

850 over Cefiro? Iba pa din kasi ang charm ng Euro sedan. Iba yung character at personality. Prolly 850 pa din since I have a Japanese daily driver already.
