I realize the 99 has VVT (I'm assuming that is sort of acronym for its electronically controlled throttle)... not very familiar with that system. The car had a lot of recent work, so that is why it was under consideration but it is a moot point now as it has been sold.

I would prefer a wagon, but I can buy the 95 sedan for almost 50% of the cost of the 98 GLT. Also, as you know, the 98 is a turbo and the 95 isn't. I'm leaning towards the 95 for few reasons:

1. I know more of the service history and the dealer is a reputable used Volvo specialist.
2. Cost of maintenance, cost of maintenance, cost of maintenance...Chances are quite goood the turbo will cost more especially as it ages.
3. The 95 is pretty peppy and although I love the way the low pressure engine drives, I don't really need the turbo. But that doesn't mean I won't change my mind :)

Thanks for the feedback!
