Joe,

Thanks for the input. Five speed would be nice for me. However, the spouse doesn't know how to drive one (I've tried to teach her on various occasions). Mechanically I feel pretty good about this car as it appears to have had maintenance done on it. The garage I take my 740GL to will be doing a pre-buy inspection for me on Thursday. They had replaced the altenator in June and read/reset some codes for the previous owner on different occassions. The only thing that really concerns me is the electrics. They are soooo frustrating to find/fix. And, I will probably decide how much frustration I want to put up with. I would really like another Volvo to be as dependable as my 740 has been. I'll see how it checks out and then see if I want to get rid of my Toyota wagon (boring but dependable for the few years I've had it).

Anyway, thanks again.

Tim
