Hi Volvo experts,

I am looking for some advice. I am about to purchase a '96 Volvo 960 Sedan. The car has 89,000 miles and seems to be in relatively good condition. The asking price is $3,500. Unfortunately, the seller would prefer if my mechanic went there to look at it, rather then me bring it to the mechanic. My mechanic does not have time for a number of weeks to make the trip to evaluate the car. It does have all maintaince records up until about 20,000 miles ago. I drove it and it seems good, bar the alignment being slightly off. The KBB value is quite a bit more. Is it a bad move to go ahead and purchase the car without a qualified mechanic checking it out? I have a friend who knows a little about cars and he can look at it with me tomorrow, however he is far from a mechanic....what do you all think.. I would really appreciate any input. I'd hate to waste my hard earned money....Thanks :)
