Recently replaced: All of these parts bought from International Parts which is a local place in Columbus that specializes in foreign parts.
**Water pump with metal impeller (since the last idiot put a plastic one in...
)**Alternator just put in on June 6th.
**Rear pads (but I would recommend replacing them with newer ones and rotors)
When the impeller broke the preassure caused the old cap to crack. That has also been replaced but it has slightly deformed the reservoir and you have to keep an eye on the coolant level also.
Had an issue a few months ago where the ball bearing on the drivers side popped out which caused a little damage to the plastic inside the wheel well and the plastic below the drivers side door. My bf was able to put it back in after re- greasing and putting a new joint or bolt in it. (I will have to ask him what it's called.)
The car will need new brakes and rotors. I recently replaced the rear pads because one came apart from the metal piece that holds it together but I would still go ahead and replace all 4 brakes. I recently put slightly used tires on the car also and got an alignment from NTB. It has a 6 month warranty and I will get it re aligned because it seems to be off again. (Too many pot holes in Columbus..)
The car will also need a oil line replaced. It has a slow leak which forces me to keep an eye on the oil level and of course is making the engine bay a little oily also. The day the water pump was replaced the car also got fresh coolant for the AC.
The interior has black leather seats which should be treated to make them soft again. Some of the stitching is coming apart but there are no holes in any of the seats. I am a non smoker and do not have children so the car is in great condition in the interior EXCEPT the dash board. I have heard that Volvo plastics are not the best so of course its a little rough and moves around. The wagon space has third row seating and the back seats have a built in booster seat. The wagon area also has the Volvo mat which I keep there at all times.
Let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to see it.
Sorry I forgot to add that I also have 2 Gabriel shock absorbers and a Bosch oil filter brand new in boxes. Please let me know if you would like more pictures.
