I just bought my first Volvo today, a decent '88 780. I had read the forums here and on other sites and was able to verify that the major things(rust, e.t.c) were taken care of. Other than some interior bobbles the car is in great shape with a stack full of recipets from previous owners. My only question is about the V6. It seems a bit "heavy". Meaning that it seems a bit slow to respond to the go pedal, almost like a catalytic convertor is going bad (which is on my list of things to check. Is this maybe normal for this motor, or shuold it maybe be a little more "light". I know that it's a vague description, but i cant think of any better way to describe it at the moment.

Being the proud owner of an 86 Audi 4000Q i have a sense of what pita's these older imports can be, but i also know how rewarding they are too. My experiences with the Audi groups has been excellent and i look forward to getting to know some of you here.

Thank you,
Jesse Erickson
