Dear Uber, I went to car-parts.com and researched a 1995 230 Turbo w/ the least mileage I could find- 64K. Paid $900 delivered. Tore the engine apart and replaced everything- Hardly needed it- it was pretty clean. Reassembled with new parts and is ready. I enjoyed doing it. I would recommend it because for less than $1500. you can have an awfully good, nearly remanufactured long block with the trimmings. Mine has a newer turbo, remanned alternator/starter/AC compressor/ harness/ idle valve- you get the picture. Brickboarders helped me decide to go for it and I am glad I did. It was like a course in Volvo auto mechanics- well worth the tuition.
