David,

For the record.

Maintenance items:
- sway bar end links
- light bulbs
- cracked leather

Common failures:
- unlock remote
- shift-lock microswitch

These problems are not unusual. Turn down the brightness control and you may never replace another instrument bulb. Try Leatherique to restore and maintain the leather interior. Look to the board sponsors for well priced parts. If you don't want to do the work yourself, look for a good indy Volvo mechanic.

It's a European brand, so giving it some TLC is expected. And remember that the more there is--the more there is to break.

You made the right decision to keep the car. You'll find expert advice and support here.

Welcome to the club.

Bryan
