Should I buy this brick??????? 200 91

Hello, I went out today to test drive a 91 245 today. I would like

your opinion on it please.

The story goes as follows. I looked over the car really good, only

found one rust spot JUST STARTING to form, that's it, It's about the

size of a quarter and is on the front corner of the rear wheel well,

looks like a paint crack started it, easy easy repair. the car has

130K miles, has had the oil changed at a VOLVO dealer every 3K with

PROOF if it. Has had every repair performed by a volvo dealer with

EVEN MORE PROOF!, he has every maitenance record on the car. It has

been kept in a garage and is in pristine condition. The car idles

PERFECTLY, started right up after sitting for 1 month, the engine is

sooooo quiet. I turned the ac on when the car was idling to check if

it worked and came back 2 mins later, the air is ice cold, I haven't

felt an ac that cool befure (it's the orig. R12). It has seat heaters

that work.

only interior defects are:

cracked console, above the emergenct brake lever

and the rear wiper is broken.

I will replace these myself.

Other defects noticed:

Drivers side ball joint clunks a TAD.

The tires are new, and the paint is shiny black and un-scratched or faded, new brakes, and belts where changed 20K miles ago including the timing

belt.

I really like the car. The price is $6000 FIRM. Won't take $1 under

that. what's your opinion fellow bricksters? is it a good deal for my

3rd 240???

Thanks a lot!!!!! Andrew Woods
