Steering and trans fluid are pink, proper levels. Air filter is a new paper filter, didn't check the brand. Battery is strong - just 6 months old, 9/25 sticker on it.

Local, Brett Borders. If you don’t know him, he’s the Robert Spinner of Denver (doesn’t travel). He’s a black box where you input Volvos in any condition on one end, and they come out 2-3x more valuable on the other end. He’s meticulous and savvy, and a real nice guy to boot. I’ve known him for around 15 years.
