I've wrenched on 240 and 740 twin cam [sixteen valve] and made $$$ selling after R&R head gaskets, etc... [easy to work on]. They were both reliable tanks IMO. I liked the IPD and Swedespeed stuff but ...alas ... was not to be as was my wife's DD.
Thinking about jumping back into the wagon market and trying to scratch the more HP itch.  The used / retro stlye Magnum RT with 5.7L Hemi looks especially delicious ... though not in the $2,500 range. R&T review of magnum traction control side-curtain airbags RWD ABS stability control blah, blah, blah ...

I love my 940 turbo. It has 209K on the clock now.
I would not own any Volvo that was made after Ford was at the controls. IMO that's when their reliability started to slip. As for the VW/Audi question, as a tech I make a LOT of money on these things. I wouldn't touch one with a 10' pole.

We have added two Volvo's to the stable in the past year. I have an '06 S60R with 300hp, nav, 6 spd manual, elec. adjustable suspension, Brembo brakes, etc. I really love the comfort and performance.
My wife has an '07 V50 with lots of goodies - sport suspension, 17in wheels, etc. I'm very impressed with the V50, considering it's their entry level model. Very good ride and great looking car too. I don't know much about the 850's but I grew up with Volvo's and the older ones were bullet proof. I just hope these newer ones last half as long! -Dan
