Post by MDK »

Hey boys and girls...MDK here. Just picked up a Volvo wagon with a 194,967 on the odometer. Now I'm asking for trouble!! kidding.but really what a great find, on Craigslist for 1200$ !! 2.5 T5 auto 5 230 horse power.. needs a little help. I've cleaned the headlights I used a 4 step process from turtle wax and they turned out great..12$ for the kit needs a rear taillight cracked but not broken thru..100$ from salvage yard...a few other issues to attend to... rolling on.

$1200 is a good find? How much would one normally expect to pay? I live in Europe and bought a 2005 V50 for about 4k Euro about a year and a half ago--and I'm pretty sure I got a raw deal out of that.
