Saw one of my mates at the weekend who I aint seen in a while. He turned up to football in his Volvo 850 T5 and took me out for a spin.
OMG!! 
The power in these are immense and its an animal. He said he's seen 168mph in it before!
His gearbox needs replacing though as it wont go into 4th. He said I could have it for £800 (100k on clock, N reg with T5-R wheels, afternmarket exhaust and some other goodies)
Is there anything to look out for on these? Gonna see how much a gearbox is later!

turbos fail at around 100-130k exhhausts rot and are expensive to replace with OE stuff, nothing aftermarket available last time I looked. Clutches die at around 80-110k and gearboxes can suffer wear and are expensive. Chsssis are usually very good, check the brakes and brake lines.
Rica remap gives them awesome power, make sure your brakes and clutch are up to it, know many people that have had a remap on them and soon after boost pipes, turbos, clutches etc.. die.
