Word, I'm hell bent on an MB wagon but I like my Volvo more every time I drive it, unfortunately its hard to find examples like yours in the rust belt..if its older than 10 years old its usually toast the salt, potholes, ice ruts take their tole on cars. The front end on my car was perfect in November but since winter struck I'm noticing a few bangs and clanks, I already replaced a complete strut assembly.
