What's wrong with it? Charity donation....somebody gave up on it and gave it away?

It’s a good bones low mile p80 for $600 plus fees , < 1k

Couple hints here. Sas still has the factory clamps so it’s definitely a low miler.

Volvo battery hints that it’s a dealer maintained car, which is another plus!

Now at $500 plus fees, you can still BuyNow at $650

Car could have been stood for 10 years or more. It could need a full recommissioning. It may well have had a dealer input at some point, but the only way to get a better feeling of it is to get eyes on it and see if there is a date for the timing belt, date code on the battery to give any piece of mind as to the actual condition. I would work from worst case scenario that the car needs full Stage 0 when factoring in the buying price. If you can get it for $600 then it is likely a good starting point to work from. Note the coolant leaking at the header tank. Head gasket?

Didn’t see the hammer price but , always a good reminder , don’t Expect to drive away with a runner for under $2000 here, and you can get a parts car easily. Best played close to home

I rolled the dice on this one amd got to for $600, so $1100 to my door. See if I can get into shape for Beryls Volvo.

Awesome! Fingers crossed it is just a bad pressure cap on the coolant tank!

Nice buy! I've always loved that rare color. Saw one in person a few years back and really caught my eye. Was this the one with the very nice cloth interior? Sure, it needs a full stage 0 but it might not need full suspension and worn interior parts like a high mileage car.
