You want someone to + rep someone for you because you bought a Volvo they talked you into?
Normally I'd slap them with a fish for such an offense, but whatever floats your boat...
It was at first look, but further digging made sense of it. Basically it had a bunch of owners, but it was the result of it getting leased, taken back on lease, sold, then the woman who had it got a divorce, her ex got the car, and he just sold it immediately.that's cool.....but i thought you said the carfax was sketchy?
Want a '96 850 wagon with 192k? All it needs is a steering rack, power steering pump, brakes all around, a parking brake, and some electrical work.Looking at getting a cheap wagon to replace my old Ford van soon.
Volvo's never need just some electrical work.Want a '96 850 wagon with 192k? All it needs is a steering rack, power steering pump, brakes all around, a parking brake, and some electrical work.
Yeah, when I say some, I mean ignition, ABS electronics, passenger window.Volvo's never need just some electrical work.
Nice ride, I love wagons.
That's why I bought it. Cars get lifted all the time in Ithaca.Volvo is the least stolen car in America! Good for you.

And by "all the time" I mean "basically never".
And no options at all. There are plenty of more desirable Volvos around. The manual transmission was the important one though.Well it does have the 5 speed...

I'm not complaining. Less **** to break.I'm very much in favor of base model vehicles, my Outback is a basic and the wife's Accord is an SE. We haven't missed any of the options that, aside from the engine, where mostly cosmetic.
The AWD is nice to have but I could have survived with good tires and front wheel drive. However I like the XC70 more for the extra ground clearance for the crappy NYC roads and the added plastic to protect from the crappy NYC drivers.l "OMFG must have AWD" and bought the XC.
Holy crap, throw in a coolant leak and that's almost the exact list of items that failed on my Jeep Liberty, all within a 2 week window pretty much. I'll blame it on the shindagin roads. 140,000 miles was more than I expected from it, so I was fine parting ways. Driving an impreza wagon now - bike still fits in the back with the seats down, +10mpg. And I can reach the roof rack with my feet firmly planted on the ground.All it needs is a steering rack, power steering pump, brakes all around, a parking brake, and some electrical work.

My wife just can't resist my sexy biker bruises. But I'm 99% sure we're done in the kid department.You need to stop having kids so we can ride sometime. I've seen you, what, once this summer? I'm leaving in 3 weeks, what's your schedule like?
Yeah, evenings are bad. But I could blow off work one of these nights and ride. The 8pm thing I can do, I'd just need to skip out a little early.My wife just can't resist my sexy biker bruises. But I'm 99% sure we're done in the kid department.
Riding Shinny tomorrow...probably 4ish. Been doing a lot of night rides, starting around 8pm after the kiddos get to sleep. Jenksville and Oakley are both in great shape. I know, probably doesn't work well with your evenin' pimpin' job.
But you should come over and help me fix my dead Juicy 7 lever sometime.
Any POC with a manual trans is better than 99.9% of what most 'Mericans drive. Oh yeah, wagons rule.Cute car. You plan on coaching a little girl's soccer team soon?
although the death of the american station wagon makes me kind of sad....Oh yeah, wagons rule.
Disclaimer: My dream car is a chopped 240 wagon with a modern turbo-charged (diesel?) 4banger.
I get it.HAB said:If I could get a time machine and go buy a new Volvo 240 wagon, circa 1990 I would be happier than a pig in ****.
