Am I making a good decision? First time buying a 245. 200 1989

Hi everyone,

This is my first time potentially buying a Volvo 245. I've always wanted one of these cars.

I'm currently looking at this one on craigslist and would like some advice as to what would be a good offer. I plan to have the car looked at by a local Volvo mechanic before making a decision.

Any advice for a first time buyer? Should I wait for something better? It looks to be in really good shape. I ran a CarFax on it, clean history.

The owner also provided this info about work he has done to it:
"replaced new right rear brake caliper, replaced alternator bracket
bolt for a larger one the original one broke this summer, replaced fuel
filter with the tune up , changed valve cover gasket."

My knowledge of car mechanics is very basic, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
