Re: Should I buy a 1981 GLT Wagon ? 200 1981

Bob:

I guess I'll talk to you if no one else is going to....

Yes that seems like a good deal although I havent had too much experience with the turbos on Volvos yet. Since you already have a Volvo wagon then you probably know about the usual problem areas. If the body is good and the engine sounds tight and it drives well then anything else can be fixed.

I bought an 85 wagon about 2 years ago and it also has a good body and engine but it had not been maintained very well. I have had to replace all of the front end parts, master cyl., flame arrestor, brake pads, timing belt, wiring harness, major tune up, tires, and a whole lot of interior and exterior misc. items. I still need to replace/repair the blower motor, rear suspension bushings, carrier bering, and then get it painted. It had 109K when I got it. I paid the guy $2400. He was asking $2750.

Good luck.

Kyle
