It looks pretty without a NY front plate! But the tow plate should have been put back on after it was towed. Hmmm, wonder why it was towed?

The convertible will have all of the problems of the other 2 door Volvos, hard to get interior parts.

The 5 cyl low pressure turbo is easy to work on. It looks like it has coil over plugs and variable valve timing. So the gas mileage should be about right, 20/27.

Beware, the AC controls are set to maximum, the blower to vent, and the blower motor to off. Sounds like the AC might have a problem getting cold, or, the sales guys don't understand what climate control is and how it works.

Have a local person check it out for you, unless you are in FL.
