1990 780 Bertone in Paper for $2000 700

Hi Folks,

I'm normally on the 240 board, but wanted to ask you opinions about a newspaper add I saw yesterday afternoon. The add read something like "1990 Volvo 780 Bertone. 4 cylinder turbo. $2000". Last summer I saw a 780 Bertone on the road and loved it. Do you think this would be worth checking out? For a fully functional car with no major problems would $2000 be a fair price?

How many miles? New turbo? Interior? etc.

I saw an '89 780 with 165k miles last spring, near flawless interior, new turbo but piston slap and a crushed/dented rear 1/4 panel. The guy would easily get $3500 for it.

Look it over very carefully. Due to its limited numbers, that's one car that a few cosmetic deficiencies could be far more expensive to fix than a few mechanical deficiencies.

I just picked up a 1991 Bertone Coupe for $1,500 from a charity lot. Checking it over, mechanically and is fine except for an electrical problem. If I start it everyday it appears fine. If I skip a day I need to jump start it. It has a fairly new battery. Any ideas? Otherwise the car is flawless, detailing it this weekend.
