Hi all,

https://charlottesville.craigslist.org/cto/d/waynesboro-1991-volvo-240-wagon/7181702219.html

I've long been searching for a 245 to buy and found this potential wagon on CL. What are your thoughts? Seems to be fully refurbished, very well detailed/cared for with lots of recent maintenance. My only concern is the mileage -- while I usually don't consider this to be a problem - is 275k approaching the threshold for possible costly repairs in the near future? This is not to say I don't anticipate performing regular maintenance and investing in a wagon beyond the initial purchase price, but rather I am concerned I will need to perform major repairs (i.e. big things like replace engine/transmission) that are out my budget. I understand these sort of things are difficult to predict, and fortunately the owner reports no mechanical problems at this time. However, there has been no work done to the transmission by the current owner (since acquiring the wagon early this year). The rear main seal has not been done. It leaks a small bit of oil. I am not mechanically knowledgeable (yet) so it is nice to find a vehicle with the preventative maintenance already addressed. Is this a good deal? What should I be asking?

Thanks for all the help.
