Thank you so much for responding.
I do not care at all about the AWD. I just want a wagon/hatchback type design because I invariably haul stuff. I wish I could FIND a good old regular Volvo wagon, but I have had 240's so long I have not kept up with other Volvos models. Now a 240 for me is getting really impracticle because I am a 50 something single woman who does not want to worry about her car breaking down on the road and then worry about parts, etc. After reading all the complaints, I am scared about taking this car on. I looked at the history, he has been taking it to get it serviced but nothing for the last 8,000 miles except oil changes. The check engine light is on, he says it is an oxygen sensor and I am now trying to determine who told him this and how long the light has been on. The dealer's service guy says that if the O2 sensor has been broken too long, it may have ruined ("fouled") the catalytic converter. I want a "good old reliable" wagon, and do not need anything fancy. Just reliable and not so complicated that you have to take it to a dealer to get it fixed. I read about the horror of having glycol leak into the transmission and kill that, so I will shell out $135 or whatever ridiculous price they want to check that there is no glycol in the trans fluid.
