Don't know if you're handy with a wrench, but Volvo of this vintage can get very expensive to fix if you're relying on an outside mechanic.

I would only pay $2K if the car was in OUTSTANDING(!) condition.
My opinion is tainted though because I've had few nibbles on my '95 850T sedan with 256K miles. Still looking for someone who thinks it's worth $450.
It's in good shape, but needs a number of wear items replaced.
It seems like there's just not many people out there any more that are interested in fixing cars on their own.

Unfortunately, I think a date with the donation wrecker is imminent.
