Volvo 244 GLE purchase 200 1979

Hei! This is my first post here and a bit of an odd location since this is an American site. I am a Scot living in Helsinki, Finland where the best car I can afford ($1000€) is a Volvo 240 series. I have found a 1.9 244 Gle with a mere 195k miles on the clock. It has zero rust(!) and whilst I know Volvo 4 cylinders can easily do 300k miles, this engine seems pretty under powered for the weight. Is this just cos it is the 1.9 single carb? Also the Ac doesnt work although that is not a big deal (I presume) if you just dont use it?

Any buying tips appreciated.
