[Scootch]

Just got my 850, the guy said it was 1995 year but it is the 1996 model....any difference inbetween 1995 model and 1996 ?

the 96 car has the obd socket under the coin holder.

Not sure when the later ABS unit was introduced. As for trim, I think this was the time when GLE was replaced with CD - shiny leather became matt, seat adjustment went electric on drivers side, and as above, went OBD (IMHO a retrograde step for those of us who enjoyed DIY resetting).

Just considering this logically however, whilst it is known (as in the case of my 1997 850) to be a 96 model on a 97 first registration, it is a bit odd to be a 96 model on a 95 plate - as far as I know, manufacturers don't tend to pre-release models!

mines a 96 model on an 'n' reg. another difference so I have been told is the cambelt change schedule is less frequent.

It used to be normal for manufactures to release the coming years model from as early as june,the same as caravans.

Volvo's model year does not run as per the calendar. I think it runs from October. My car is 1995 reg on an N but is a 1996 MY.
