More 850 heater blower madness

The v70 is nice - has nick and a few dings here and there. Body would be a 5 out of 10 5spd turns off most moms as they ant auto. The interior is very clean, cloth seats, no cd, engine was very clean - has all dealer stamps up to 100K. Of course not record of clutch being changed yet, not a rear maim seal. Timing belt at 70K if the dealer stamps are correct. Shifted fine and felt so much stronger and quiet than my 93 5spd 850. Of course, I tried to offer my 93 as a trade - they said 500 as has an SRS light on. I replaced an airbag but never cleared the codes and have a spare crash sensor. I think the 93 is worth about 1500 to 2000 with 162K. Trying to get them to give me 800-1000 for mine and write them a check for $3000. Of course, I only paid $1000 for my 93 in March so I could make out well if I go for this - but do I want more credit card debt??

And I still have to solve the blower motor issue with my auto 93 850, which would remain as the backup car - that v70 is very nice and with 100K I could go a few years on that one! No evaporator replacement was noted either - I would give the car a 7 out of 10 but most folks probably would go lower as it is not pristine. Heck my lab would make the seats dirty anyhow!
