    I know of a friend who had 2 Volvos before, he had an 850 sedan and an 850 T5R turbo wagon. He sold both cars and vowed never to buy a Volvo again because parts prices are prohibitively expensive, there were even times that he flew to HK just to get some parts and saved substantially even with plane fares and hotel accommodations factored in compared to buying it from the local Volvo casa.

    Because mitsu and volvo have a working relationship. They even shared a plant for the s40 and carisma. Mitsubishi also supplies the turbo for turbo models of volvo.

    That's great, would you know which particular parts are interchangeable?

    Sa s40, mostly chassis bits.

    I was in Baguio and saw our 850 now owned by my uncle. Ganda pa din. Hehe. No major problems encountered kahit sa malayo na nakatira.

    Actually Volvo cars fare well even in hotter weathers. The aircon is outstanding and could even freeze the Hell over
