Passed on this one, still looking 850 1995

>Worn out upper engine mount bushing

Very common. Part is cheap (under $10). My dealers parts people
now call it a "wear" part (like brake pads). Yep, they do.

>Leaking oil pan drain plug

Fairly common, too. Can occur if bolt over-tightened and the
aluminum threads get damaged a bit.

>Rear liftgate panel mounts broken

Almost all wagons will have this. IPD and Volvo both have
repair kits. I screwed might right into the meatl.

>Leaking hose from the IC to the intake, some oil on the top hose also

I've had one hose get blown off on the intake (from boost, I guess).
And tightened it up. Oil inside the intake (before the IC) is
common and not considered a problem (some oil gets sucked past
turbo).

>Low refrigerant in the A/C system. Using a probe he detected refrigerant
>coming out of the vents. Failing evaporator.

Evaporator problems are very common. Our older 95 is still going strong
but my 98 S70 did not cool very well this summer and I'm thinking
I may have a similar problem. So, you never know.


I think $11,400 isn't a bad price. But then again, I own a 95 and was
hoping they were worth more :)
