There is a U-Pull-It junkyard near my home (Binghamton, NY) that has many Volvos that come and go on a regular basis, always 200's, almost always 700's and sometimes 100's, 900's and 850's. I've saved myself thousands of dollars over the years here and it's my theraputic "hobby" digging around there. I'd be more than happy to keep an eye out for any parts folks need that they don't want to pay a premium for or can't find (not on a rush basis, I only get there every few weeks). I'd need to make a few bucks for gas/time for my conscience's sake, but it would give me a good reason to log my much needed junkyard hours. I've gotten a computer for my 91 740SE Turbo for $30, break calipers (Girling) for $8, decals for $1 each, transmissions for $100 (and even $39.99 plus core charge ($50) on sale this weekend), fenders for $30, etc...all with a 30 day (from purchase date) money back warranty. Respond to this if you have anything you'd like me to keep my eye out for (Volvo and non-Volvo actually, they have thousands of cars and trucks, most 8 years old plus) and if all goes well I'll put my e-mail address out there soon.
