1995 944 for sale at $300 but . . . 900 1995

I own an 82 GLT which I have had for twenty years so I have some familiarity with Volvo cars.

I saw a 1995 944 for sale but the intermediary chap [who rebuilds American engines for a living] thinks that the cylinder head might be cracked. He is not familiar with Volvos however.

The owner apparently spent $1200 trying to fix some kind of overheating issue but the garage failed to fix the car.

The car starts and runs well and there is no water in the oil.

I think the owner had a new head gasket installed but it failed to solve the overheating problem. When the garage installed the head gasket one would think they would have seen a cracked head. Is there something else that could be causing the overheating.

I would like to have a four door Volvo but would like your input as to whether this should be the car.

It has relatively new tires and a professional sound system and looks like a car where the owner just lost interest in maintaining it. Apparently she has bought another car.

Any thoughts?

Bob
