The codes are: fuel mix too lean, idle too high, and small leak in EVAP emmissions control.

The first 2 are related to each other, it could be a fuel pump or a cracked vacuum line. The third is probably a cracked vacuum line by the fuel tank.

If the paint looks like it has been parked in the Fla sun for 10 years without any wax, knock at least 2K off the price.

These little wagons, designed for 2 people and 1 dog, are not in demand and should be priced accordingly. If you found this at a used car dealer, ask for a Carfax. If they won't supply one, just leave the lot.

Remember, a Volvo dealer will charge $100 to inspect a car and tell you what is wrong with it - more than you ever wanted to know! But it is a good base to bargain with.

My back feels better when I sit in a Volvo seat

Sounds like a dealer price to me, no service records, unknown number of owners, some obvious issues, 1000 bucks if, for some reason, you like these models. You can find a good V70 of the same vintage for this money. All quirks well understood, seems like a better way to go to me; however, this is just my opinion, not necessarily a fact.

It's the wagon version of an S40. I kind of like the look.

Like any European car, parts are getting expensive and at 11 years old, things are going to need replacement. You are also looking at a timing belt service at that mileage.

If you have to pay someone to work on it, get your wallet out. They take a lot of patience to work on as things are packed in there and there's not a lot of room to work.

Factoring in the problems you already know about and what the value of the car is when in good shape, I would not pay more than $800 - $1000 tops. These cars are not popular and thus you can usually pick them up pretty cheap. As long as you don't mind wrenching on them yourself, they can be well-bought.
