95 Volvo 850 GLT starting issue

Post by BlackyChan91 »

Hello, I'm new to owning a Volvo. I purchased a 95 850 GLT with 128k for $440. Drove it home fine. Went to start it yesterday and wouldn't crank over and barely had power. Besides that and needing a CV joint and headliner repair I think I did a good buy. Any advice on what could be the problem?

Cheers!
