XC70

Great to know. Thanks, Klaus. Funny...I was just returning the keys to the 940 Turbo to the mechanic about an hour ago and saw this very attractive woman stepping out of her beautifully kept 850. 1986. She loves it. I checked on line and the only wagon I could find is in New Mexico with 225k miles.

No real matter, though. I really like this 950 Turbo. I checked it out much more thoroughly, today. Not a speck of rust anywhere, even though the paint's chipped here and there. No paint job, either. Interior's in great shape except for the cracked passenger seat door cargo holder, no lenses on the two angled interior courtesy lights. The seats are leather and somewhat cracked with age, but that's fine. I can go over them and be happy. Electrical's working well. Sunroof slides in and out securely and the vent operates right.

I was happy to read in the manual that the angle of the passenger seat's front section can be changed, similar to the 240.

I'll need to replace the seat portion of the cargo area fold down seat and find out why one of the rear fog lights is out.

My main areas of concern are:

> AC: it's somewhat cold but it ain't happening in idle. Gotta be moving. It could be something as simple as needing new fluid. Even if it's more than that, I think I'll go for it so long as it can be effectively repaired. Just see it as an additional cost. But I do want good AC.

> This is the biggie: it vibrates when it's in idle. You can hear the mid part of the muffler pipe mildly grazing the undercarriage as a result and it's somewhat annoying, in general, as far as the feel. If that can't be repaired, it's (unfortunately) a no go.

Now I've gotta convince my wife.
