Hello,
The car has 135000 miles. Nice looking car, inside and out. appears to be well cared for. Runs great. Asking price $3999. From a dealer. No maintenance records except the "warranty book" with consistant service stamps up to 119,000 by a volvo dealer.

One thing I found a little strange: there are no markings on the trunk lid, where you would usually see the car type in silver letters
( ie,volvo 760 turbo...).

Carfax reports no problems. It is a one owner car.

It has the multilink rear suspension. Just how expensive is this suspension to repair. Any practical alternatives/conversion. THere are no obvious problems, except the shocks, I think, may be a little weak.

Anything else about this car that I should know.

all comments are welcome here.

Thanks.

Lawrence
