Not a craigslist find, but something that might be of interest to the MVS crowd. I spotted this while doing some research for my daughter. It was probably a trade in towards an Outback. It’s a two owner 1997 960 with 95k miles and a fee Carfax report. Unfortunately, there is no price listed. https:/...

Here is the thread I created for this maintenance on my LR2 Its almost the same on th...

I've been browsing around your site for the past couple of days now, so much information to absorb! As you can expect, Japanese cars are 90% of what you see on the road here, but Volvos have a pretty decent presence.
