It is a one owner car - good - and there is a Volvo sticker under the hood stating the water pump was done at 136K. However, don't know the repair history so that does make me a little nervous.

If it is the rear main, I'm definitely going to pass on it. I know that is about a $1000 repair.

OTOH - The money lowdown is they are asking $2200, so I think I can buy it for maybe $1500-2000. If I can buy it for $1500, then maybe a rear main seal repair isn't the end of the world. The body is pretty good and the interior is good except for the worn leather on the driver's seat.

Probably a thumb's down, but I'll think about it...
