I think deev would like to chime in on this? I think it would be a good look just make sure you have the know how to repair it or the money.

The car looks well maintained. I would buy it!

Then again I miss CBs' bad so l would just get a new trans. just my opinion.

[yaboi jeff]

yeah im going to go look at it tommorrow

Auto = yuck.
FWD = yuck.
Heavy as shit = yuck.
High mileage (though not a bad price.)
Rebuilt engine... why? Ask who rebuilt it... hopefully a shop that knows Volvos, and not some kid in his garage!

Overall, not bad... but it's less sporty than a CB7. Volvos are still really nice cars, though. As long as you're not expecting to have an easy time of making into a monster tuner car, you'll enjoy a nice ride. Especially if it's actually in really good shape.

whats wrong with the tranny? i thought mine was out on my wagon but it was just the silinoids on the tranny that were dead.... switch them out and if that dont work then u might need a tranny.... i got lucky i didnt have to spend 800 on a tranny.....

Volvos are ok if you can deal with the fact that they dont handle well and are expensive to maintain. It is possible to make a volvo absolutely rape in a straight line though. IIRC that model is similar to an 850 wagon.

yes i understand its not sporty like the cb7 but im looking for something just to drive and looks less noticeable something nice and I thought it would be a great car to drive just to school and work thanks for your inputs when I see the car ill make sure I ask about the rebuilt motor

[deevergote]

Yeah, if that's all you want it for, then it's perfect, as long as it's in good shape. I had a 92 940GL (non-turbo, auto... slow as balls.) It was very comfortable, and parts to repair it weren't crazy. The aftermarket existed, but was slim. I "sold" it to a "friend" (I won't go into detail there... irrelevant) because I needed newer for my job. It didn't have working heat (and it was wintertime), and the transmission was acting up. However, the build quality was amazing. Materials were top notch. It was comfortable. Looked great.

But yeah, that rebuilt engine will make or break that deal. If it wasn't done right, it could break on you VERY quickly. I mean, an engine rebuild usually costs about as much as what they're asking for that entire car, so either the rebuild happened quite a while ago, or there are other problems that aren't worth fixing.
