I first saw this vehicle after moving to a small town and working in an auto repair shop. the customer drove into our lot and expressed his frustration that no one wanted to work on it.I was happy to see it as I had worked on Volvo's in the big city. I maintained this vehicle for the customer for many years, and when he stopped driving he came to me and told me he wanted me to have the car. he gave me a very good price and I purchased the vehicle right away.my wife drove it in the summer and drove an Audi a4 in the winter for several years. my son wrecked the Audi a4 and I purchased an Audi a8 for her to replace it. she has not driven the volvo one time after driving the a8. the car is still in very good shape I have driven it a few times since the wife stopped driving it. it Sat for a few years until we decided to sell it, I am using it to go back and forth to work for the past couple weeks.it has performed flawlessly and if I did not get so dirty at work I would consider keeping the car as my driver. I replaced the air conditioning compressor for the customer but when I receive the car from him there was a leak in one of the compressor lines and I never did replace it.the only major flaw other than the air conditioning is the rust behind the rear wheel wells as the car was a daily driver in Minnesota before we got it. there is somewhere to the front seats but the back seat is very near flawless. the front seat floor mats are missing.the rims are not original and the tires are old with good tread. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere in the country.if you would like any other information about this car or more pictures of anything contact me. I intended on changing the transmission to one from a newer 262 with the 4-speed overdrive and changing the rear end into a lower gear limited slip differential from an older wagon with manual trtransmission. I still have these parts and would be willing to sell them separate from the auction. I have now been driving the car for 3 weeks and it has performed flawlessly.
