95 854T - $600

I went to see the car today. Nothing wrong with the engine or tranny. But I didn't buy it:

Bottom of windshield cracked all the way across. Someone remove the inter-cooler???? The piping goes from the turbo to the throttle body. There is a tower brace, hmmmmm, go fast?
It needs a PNP switch. No big deal.

The odo shows 130K, the interior shows 240K. The wire was broken for the probe to check codes, so I could not verify miles. The front seats were a little worn, like almost no leather on the driver's seat and foam showing on the passenger seat.
Driver door panel needed to be replaced. ECC had blinking lights, of course.

The roof paint was turning white, it had been repainted. The grill was replaced with a hand painted(black) grill w/o Volvo logo. The hood latch with plastic catch that is supposed to go through grill was gone.

New shocks, struts are needed real soon. They no longer work.

It did have a boost guage on the A pillar. Heat worked great. Vacuum leak somewhere. Air cleaner box had 1 inch holes bored into it, about 12 of them.
All of the tires were different.

But what do you want for $600?? I figure it would have cost me about $500 in pick&pull parts just to feel comfortable. Who would remove the intercooler??

Just too much for me.

Klaus

If someone wants it, let me know! I can buy it for $500 this week.
