I agree with Cbolt. if you can do the stuff yourself with some help from others, you shouldn't have to worry too much about the cost. but be a step ahead, always look for rust, and do routine maintenance on it.

most parts are readily available from your new girlfriend, the junk yard.

if you do get a rwd volvo, read thoroughly on repair tips in brickboard, get a good deal on a bentley's repair manual, get your self a good set of tools (you will be adding to your tool collection over time, for sure), and have a good mechanic friend to help answer questions.

you'll be pleased with the results.
