Punxsutawney Phil,

Thanks for the reply. I'll mark the sites you suggested and review them. I too would like the X5 but the significant others idea is an RX300. Both very different from a Swedish car. She does like "her" 740 series Volvo and loves the seats but now wants something (and has for a long time) with a bit more get up and go and a little bigger. I like Volvos and intend to drive my current one until it won't go anymore. That's why I'm leaning towards this one. Hope it checks out good.

Electrical gremlins are such a pain and my current indie mechanic already mentioned them. Do they become less frequent with replacement of original switches/relays or worse?

The timing belt would definately be one thing I would probably look at doing early. I've never had one go and wouldn't want to start now.


Thanks again,
Tim
