Alright, now you know! You gave it up, and now you've got it back. It's like a love that was meant to be. Now hang on to it til it won't run anymore! That's what I plan on doing with mine anyway, I doubt I will find a suitable replacement for what a great car this is.

I thought I needed a new evaporator, and managed to stop the leak ENTIRELY with a can of arctic freeze with a leak sealer thing. I know most people don't like using those kinds of things,but it's held a charge all summer, I'm thrilled. We've tried the stuff on 2 other cars too and it's one of those miracle in a can things.

I think my transmission is on its way out at almost 180K, but it's still not something I'm going to consider selling my car for. Like you said with yours, I know the car and all its little quirks and what is/isn't wrong with it, and that's not something I'd want to jump into another Volvo not knowing.

Happy motoring! =)
