I'm sure people have different opinions, but a sad story for this seller (also too bad he cant' fix it himself):

83 volvo ran till i steam cleaned the motor - $400

Date: 2005-06-16, 12:08PM PDT


i have an 83 volvo 4 door that ran just great till i steam cleaned the motor. it ran for 3 days after that then just quit. it's not getting any spark. everything else works on it it just isnt getting spark. i'll either sell it or trade it
it just passed smog 2 months ago and is registered till jan 06
if you know anything about volvos im sure it wont take much to fix it. it got 35 mpg on the highway and 30 in the city. like i said it aint no beauty queen but it runs great. i'd rather fix it and keep it myself but i dont know any one the does work on volvos. and believe me the "volvo" experts think that their time is worth a few hundred an hour. hell even my lawyer isnt worth that. if you want it come get it or if ya can fix it then by all means get in touch with me so i can get this car back out on the road. thanks for your time
