There is a 1999 Volvo S 80 for sale locally at three hundred dollars. Seller says it has a new front end and new front brakes, a new computer and a new transmission was installed four years ago. She has moved on to another car.
A local service garage here in Vancouver recommended against it, saying there are a lot of issues with that model. The garage is trustworthy so I am inclined to take their advice.
It runs rough and will probably need a new battery. Seller says the valves are good when she replied to a specific question about that.
It seems like a lot of car for such a small price and my experience with older models has generally been positive.
What is the collective wisdom on these cars?
