Hello fellow Volvo'ers.

So I'm going to be buying a 1989 Volvo 780 with the B230FT motor. I just have a few questions though.

I know that the motors arethe same as what is in my other Volvo's. I have 3 740 Turbos. Two 87's and an 88 so the mechanics would be the same, but what about a repair manual specific to the 780. Do they exist?

My other question is this: I had heard that the Turbo model was more sought after. Is this true? Does anyone know where I can get parts for this car? I've looked here, FCPGroton.com and eBay.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Especially about any known issues. Like how do I disconnect the phone (I think it's a phone. When I turn the key it sounds like a car phone if anyone understands what I mean).
