re: How to convince your children to drive your NEW Volvo? 200 1993

Hi all,

In searching for my NEW Volvo, I met a new friend. She's working single mom w/ two teenagers. She has two jobs to make ends meet. She had her Volvo since it was new. Now, it's time for her to let it go. She and I went over all the options. We kinda agree that it's best case scenario to give this car to her children but they both don't want it. If these are your children, how would you convince them? Thank you as always.

By the way, I always get complements on my Volvo by skinny jeans wearing youngsters in Brooklyn, NY.

Things to fix based on my first test drive/1993 245 automatic with 250,000 miles
1. both engine mounts
2. transmission mount
3. rear shocks
4. CAT back exhaust system
5. rebuild front seat
6. water pump
7. transmission fluid (looks very dirty; grainy grey color with metal... but it shift fine for now)
8. coolant hoses; upper and lower
9. overdrive button is not working
10. brake too mushy
11. header pipe bracket by the transmission is missing
12. needs new paint job (sunburn syndrome) with few missing side trims.
