RT,


Is this your first Volvo? I don't know if you are aware of the fact, but the '97 GLT you just acquired has the light-pressure turbo engine. This is a car that needs a very (and I mean very) strict maintenance schedule if you want it to last another 100k miles. Because it is a turbo, the car will have more moving parts that require constant attention. Turbochargers in particular last at least 150k-175k miles before they need replacing or rebuilding. Also, the extra power will take a toll on the transmission, so make sure to have it flushed every 25k-30k miles with good synthetic fluid.
