Had a 940 2.0 turbo wentworth estate which impressed me so much I purchased a newer 1996 850 t5 estate---one word 'Awesome'this car had every extra the trim level was out of this world, but the power just press down and you were pinned back in your seat and rocketed to 130 mph and passing Porche's on the way, sad to say turbo problems are common and engine was wrecked at 140K, yes think about it a racing engine that run for all them miles, have now a 850 2.5 non turbo estate again 1996 that has done 142k, not a patch on a T5 but what a car, sails through MOTs build quality is fantastic, all leather inside, wooden dash, electric everything all working and a drive that puts many newer cars to shame, as you may gather I am hooked on volvo but only the pre Ford ownership models, got to own another T5 in the future!!!
Service costs are no greater than other cars especially if you do the basic things yourself ie oil and filter changes (Essential)many owners report mileage of 250k and more with no major problems and all in a car that thinks it's a van---and performs like a sports car!!
