‘89 wagon--about 215K miles-Let's see--over the 6 years we’ve had it-new starter, new a/c compressor, drier and expansion valve, converted to r134; new windshield, "new" (to me) great black leather seats, (rest of interior immaculate), new suspension including rack and pinion, front and rear heavy duty anti-sway bars along with new HD shocks front and rear, new struts and HD springs. All rear (and front) suspension bushings replaced mostly with poly bushings, all suspension parts replaced with upgrades when possible. New paint-(dark-ish metallic silver/grey), new power steering pump, new heater/ac blower-(Volvo-not after market)- installed “anti-sway” (I think it’s called-not sure,)-bar from top of struts to firewall. Doors, in and out, and glass and map pockets all close to immaculate also. All upholstery, carpet and headliner excellent! Rear cargo area also excellent. Back hatch new shocks. Replaced weak Volvo horns with VERY loud horns from salvaged BMW 325i. Great horns! Side windows, except for front side windows, have very light tint. Of course all regular maintenance cared for ie: oil/filter every 3k, air filter, belts and hoses, regular tune-ups, tires when needed-brake pads-rotors etc-normal maintenance stuff. Transmission, motor almost like new-no leaks, no oil consumption. A solid drive! Just wish I could get 40 mpg!!
