I can't say how bullet proof an 850 is but my patent's turbo wagon has about 165 on the clock and no issues. Plus, the bugger is very easy to work on except some very wierd stuff like tranny cooler line seals (just the seals went, ~$3 plus too much time). T-belt took me ~1 hr. Not bad for a turbo twin cam, eh? Great power, plus Tom Walkinshaw used to race 'em. The R-type is very sweet!
The 850 is the last true Volvo as Ford bought 'em after.
