My parents recently have been looking to buy another car, one which i will mostly be driving. They found a Volvo 850 Turbo near a local dealership and were now considering buying it. We really wanted side air bags, and this car was the first to ever have side air bags, and on the turbo model there standard. Its got a sun roof a nice interior and that good volvo reliability. I want my parents to buy this car the only thing troubling them is that the passenger side air bag cover is a bit messed up and theres two square dents on the front bumper. So i suppose it was in an accident and the air bag deployed and wasnt sealed properly when put back in. The thing im wondering about though is that was the accident that it was in damaging to the cars structure at all? Under the hood it looks fine, but those small dents on the bumper are odd. What do you think about it? Should we have a mechanic check it out first? Also How fast do you have to be going in an accident to have the airbags come out? If all it was was a little bump then we'll definitely buy the car. What else do you know about this car that may be helpful in making the decision to buy it or not? I've heard they can hit some pretty high mileage. Also are volvo's pretty expensive to service?
