I have always wanted a spiffy little volvo wagon, now may be my chance!

there's a nice little black one for sale at a local dealership. Th easking price seems reasonable if mot a little low for wha tth ecar has. I'm esp interested sicne it has the 5 speed as well as leather (not too important for me), and the sunroof too/

I know i should check for a/c operation, and check the upper engine mount, but is there anyhting else i should be looking at? Do these cars handle better than their non-turbo sedan counterparts (the only other 850 I had ever driven ,and handled terribly!)

thanks in advance!
P.S. their asking 8,900CAD for the wagon, and there's another 97 turbo wagon going for 14,000CAD in the classifieds/ are these cars priced right? what
