It's about good 5 to 10 years too late of seeing a lot of them in the boneyards.
They had a lot of other models of the same make and year ranges when I looked at the junk. So the year ranges of cars are avaliable but not the one on the list.
Even odder I went to the junk yard a few days ago just to get some small parts and stayed longer as I found out when I arrived it was 50% off that day. Stayed longer and found the 2nd Diesel Volvo I have seen at that yard in I believe 15 years!
Since I have one I took some parts off including the Vacuum Pump. So I may not need an electric Vacuum Pump for the Volvo.
I paid $2.50 for the Vacuum Pump as the Lady pricing had no idea about them; even when I told here what it was. A new one is as much as a Mercedes Vacuum Pump.
