BTDT, but way before BBRD. Realised that if shifter light said D, trans wan't "clicked" into the right place. None of the gears lined up. Twas the mounts. Perp had to pay for that, too. Plus the wrinkle in the roof sheet metal.

Good Luck,

You should absolutely get it checked.

There is an intaresting thing about RWD Volvos. Open both the rear doors at the same time and make sure that the rear quarters don't kink when you do. The body structure can retain a lot of compressive force.

There is the very real possibility of frame damage to the rear of the car. It would be worth at least having a good frame shop look at it.

There is also the very real possibility that it will need little, if any, restoration work outside cosmetic.

My daughter's 240 was hit from behind by someone going 35 MPH. Same thing--perpetrator's car was totalled; volvo appeared unscathed. However, on closer examination, the gas tank had a deep dent in it, etc. Apparently, what had happened was the volvo was actually hit from underneath and lifted up. You might have someone take a real good look at the underside. I assume the person who hit you was insured--why don't you just insist your car be properly repaired? If you ever want to sell it, it might be a big issue! Good luck.
