Then, I will regale you with the sordid story of all the problems that it had that could not be fixed by the dealer that I finally forced the beautiful Firemist Red to be finally be repurchased by Volvo under the CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW.

Amazingly the car arose resplendent on ebay a few months later.


This horrid story is still somewhere in the archives of www.brickboard.com, and I can get it for you if you want.



Most comfortable seats in the business though. Newest Volvo I would buy is a 960, though, last of the Rear wheel drive ones.


Never has it been more true than with Volvo cars:

RWD good, FWD bad!!!
