After alignment, 850R still pulls to the right!! 850 1996

when i bought my 96 850R a couple weeks ago,
it pulled slightly to the right - ie: the steering wheel felt more
comfortably centered when the car was drifting toward the right,
rather than moving in a straight line. To keep it in a straight line
i must hold downward on the left side of the wheel. It's annoying.
I thought all i'd need was an alignment/rotation/balance,
but now that i've had that work done, it still pulls to the right!!!
The tire pressures (205-45-17) are 32-33psi in the front, which is
within volvo's specified range. The wheels are wearing Kumho Ecsta
supra 712s, with probably 8-10k mi left on their tread.
What could be causing this?? It's pretty frustrating that I sold my BMW
because it ate tons of money.....
and in two weeks of having the 850R my A/C needs a recharge,
the alignment/rotation/balance, odometer failure.... geez...

I love it though
