buying a wagon with problems - help

posted by  someone claiming to be MIke on  Wed Aug 8 18:31 CST 2001 [RELATED]

HI -

I'm a long time admirer of the mighty wagon, and have finally decided to give up the old VW bus for a 740 or so Wagon. The one I'm looking at has a few issues, I was wondering if someone could tell me how serious (ie. $$) they were?

Hydraulic motor mounts are sagging - big problem, little, estimated cost to fix??

Ignition switch is borderline fried - will need to replace. What's that puppy run?

So to put my question another way....I have ~$5K to spend and want a volvo wagon. Looks like I'm in the early 1990's, around 135K miles - what are the big WATCH OUTS - and how do I find them.

Thanks in advance!!!

Mike
