Hi, we have an 96 850 wagon 96k that every time you turn around something else is happening!!!We live in Ohio and it DID NOT pass our Emmisions test. NO reading was 3381 passing level is 578?......we are told it could be a spark plug gone bad to needing to replace the cat. converter. Just had the air pump replaced twice in the last 6 months!!!!! of course mechanic didnt charge for second pump but still charged 100 clams for labor. We have looked around at different newer Volvos, but the new-used in our price range (S-40) just doesnt quite compete with what we are used to. Also looking at some Cross Country's but havent heard a lot about them. We just dont know what to do!!! our price range is 9,000 to really pushing it 15,000. If any of you folks have any suggestions I would sure appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
