Thanks for the info everyone, I'll likely look at the 240 this weekend. Had a lengthy conversation with the owner, the car was for his daughter for college. They replaced sensors, relays, hoses, trying to find a stalling issue, it was the timing belt a few degrees off, a new one fixed everything. Working A/C and heat, new CD player. Good exterior and interior, no rust. The $900 quote was from his mechanic to fix everything, the tie rod ends, rear shocks, and exhaust issues. He originally listed it for $2000 but got no bites, now he wants it gone. Seems like a good deal to me, as I can do the work myself on it, save a boatload on insurance compared to my MB. The Volvo is automatic unfortunately.
