My car, my problems 850 1993

posted by someone claiming to be new owner of 93 850 GLT on Mon Sep 23 04:58 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I did the deal and bought a 93 850GLT with 187,000 miles on it. always serviced at volvo. I brought it back home (270 miles) and it ran like a champ getting me 30mpg! The interior is good as is the body all for $3500. But..... I need to do some mechanicals and a slight modification. Maybe someone has some input.

1. Cruise doesn't engage- need cruise pedal switch ($91)
2. Right and left axle boot split ($400)
3. Oil filler cap leaking from clogged breather box, replace ($420)
4. Passenger front motor mount collapsed ($250)
5. Power antenna no longer responds ($?)
6. Shift lock must regularly be pushed to put the car in gear ($?)
6. Volvo recommends flushing transmission ($150)

Can I service 1,3 or 5? Other than that the car is great. Some wear on the driver's side bolster.

Modification question. Can the ashtray be removed for installation of a pop-out cupholder?

anyone want to swap a factory cassette player for a factory cd?

Whew! Thanks for reading this far!
