read a few pages of posts in here and you will cover most of what goes wrong...

personnaly i bought a 95 with 50 some k on it, did the sensible preventative maintenance (fluids filters sparks, fitted a new cam belt etc)had it almost 40 k and about 2 years...other than routine servicing its had 2 sets of new front brakes, 1 set of new front brake calipers (sticking and they wernt expensive ...) 2 tranmission flushes (preventative) and 6 tyres (fronts about due again...)

I do fairly heavy miles and its about the best highway car I have ever owned - and fun o nthe twisty bits too (ok a c70 strutbrace helps!)

cheap to run, reliable fun comftable what more do you want...

now the bad bit - i bought with full volvo service history and checked that out well i WOULD NOT buy one without I also wouldnt buy a turbo (personal bad history with volvo turbo's and it WILL have been thrashed)
