hello everyone.

Hello, can anyone give me some advise as to what to look for when looking over a volvo 242 glt? It is a dark blue '83 242 glt with 235,000 miles. Additionaly, its in semi-rough shape. power steering is out, sunroof is out, and starter relay is inconsistent.Any other common trouble spots with these cars? I am going to do the obvious like compression test, thorough examination, but hey, its an old car I know relatively little about. I love the way the thing looks. I've never had a volvo, but do like to turn wrenches. In the event I do get it, there are a few dedicated volvo junkyards here, so thats nice. Tentatively looking forward to joining the volvo world.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Jeremy Soltow
