LAter in life, i.e. over 10 years old, the simpler the better for Volvos. An old 240, 740, or 940 non-turbo is a better bet for someone with limited resources. If you're like I was, buying the car won't leave you with enough money to fix it. The price isn't way off for a running, drivable car. The problem is THE CAR. A 760 is likely to have major problems with the climate controls, which can really be annoying if you like heat, AC, or just a fan blowing outside air in.
Look, compare prices at www.bargainnews.com and see if you think it's reasonable for what you're getting. I think a simpler car is going to be a better bet for you. If nothing else, take someone along who has Volvo experience to look this car over for trouble spots. Try everything and make sure it works. The AC is not likely to work in any car this age but the heat and fan should. Same with power windows and so on. If stuff is broken or there's a story about why things don't work right, you've got to walk away, even if it looks like a nice car.
Anyone can spend $100 to have a POS detailed so it looks decent.
Good luck in your search.
