{RAMBLING}As a matter of fact, I don't even have it yet - I get it tomorrow. My question is this - I've driven several in the last few days seeing how my '92 Ford Ranger decided to drop it's tranny with only 122,000 miles on it. I am forced to make a car purchase. When I came across this bridge I decided Volvo was the way to go.

{QUESTION HERE} Of both cars that I test drove, both 86 244 DL's, the temp gauge never moved. I'm thinking that this may be something common with these cars? {QUESTION ENDS}

The 86 has 122,000 (Roughly the same mileage as my truck) on it and according to my mechanic friend who looked the car over, is mechanically sound. I just want to know what's going on with the new car. {MORE RAMBLING}I am fortunate enough to be a natural born tinkerer (an aside - as a small girl, when my family and I would go on long drives, my parents were always sure to bring the little toolkit so I could disassemble the back seat to and reassemble from). Anyway, I am up to the challenge of owning a classic euro car.

This forum is great and thanks in advance, for what I am sure, will be plenty more questions to come.
