Thanks for all the replies so far! Glad I found this site.
BTW, my 1991 940T wagon is in reality at or around 300,000 miles owing to an
odometer failure a few years ago. Talk about weird electronic problems. It
stopping working, worked for 100 miles or so, stopped again, another 100 miles
working until after a month or so started working and hasn't quit since. The
idiot lights in the dash are another story - false lights for the seatbelts,
the upshift arrow and, when its cold, the ABS light comes on.
It was bought used with 47,000 miles and has been a good car. The downhill
slide started about two years ago. Right now it needs a new rear engine seal,
brakes fore and aft soon and other issues like the power seat switch assembly,
seized rear wiper motor. Plus its close to Timing belt replacement time. So
that's why I'm looking around.
Also this current Volvo is my third. Previous cars were a 1982 240DL (99,999
miles when I rolled up to the dealership to trade it in) and a 1985 740GLE
that went 495,500 miles when sold to my mechanic as a parts car in 1994!
I did test drive a nice S70 last September with 37,000 priced at $19,000.
Was the dealership's loaner car. Liked the car a lot, but got cold feet.
Anyway, thanks again for the pros and cons...
Dave
