Not a Volvo, but it's got many of the same virtues. I bought this car sort of on impulse and I've gotten everything I can out of it. I want another Miata or maybe even just no third car, so it's time for the oil burner to go.

Price negotiable. It's old, but it's the best W123 in the area for impulse-buy money. I use it as a daily driver; after changing the glow plugs, it's never given me a problem, even in 20F weather.
Ask if you have any questions! Waco is about 90 minutes from Dallas and Austin, dead in the middle of those two cities on I-35; I travel to each of those places occasionally, and if you'd like, I can drive the MBZ out the next time I do so.

Totally cool. I always wanted one of these, but only with manual trans just like yours. If you were closer I would be seriously tempted.

Sold!
For reference, sale price was $2100. That's about how much I think it was really worth, so I'm pleased with the result.
Wasn't the ride for me, but if I could find a coupe or wagon with a manual and the gasoline-powered straight-six I'd consider it. Easy to care for, cheap parts, and a classy ride when done up right. A great classic if you don't have time for a classic.
