Here we go again. Looking @ YET ANOTHER VOLVO 200 1985

If I were actually in the market, I'd pay more even if I saw a rod through the side of the block. The car's just right along my lines, what ya might call "me".

I'm 99% certain that $300 would get it, and likely less. Since posting, I had to head back and look again. Can't find a bad point (to me anyway). I DID notice that the "common underhood fuse" had an issue. It's not actually the fuse, it's the "repaired connection" to pwr. It's badly corroded, loose and barely hanging together.

Underbody is well undercoated and in great shape, lifted carpet in several places inside and did see some early surface rust that will need to be addressed. The windshield seal is in poor shape and has had some sort of repair that looks as if it must have been done proffesionally, but I'd still have to yank it for my own sake.

Turned the engine over (jumped starter). All seems well thus far (will have to go back and get the key to actually test it well, but like I said, I wouldn't take it as much of an issue reguardless.

ID sheet lists that the Cruise Control does not work and the "bulb out indicator" stays on. Niether are much of an issue.

heck, this could be a bad fuel relay for all I know.

Will post back if I buy it.

Still trying to convince myself that I can resist it.

Frank
