Default Hello! Looking at a Volvo

Hey errebody...

Looking at a '90 780 turbo. Here's the description:

Up for sale is my 1990 Volvo 780 turbo coupe. Its a rare car, somewhere around 3500 where shipped to the U.S. from '88 to '92. 167,000 mi. It has a newer volvo 2.4L turbo 4 cyl engine (engine was replaced around 100k mi with a genuine volvo engine), it has the high output "K" cam, with a .52 a/r Garrett T3 turbo, and runs about 15psi of boost (it could be higher, but factory mass air flow gets too much air going thru it and it cuts power, a bigger maf will cure that). It has air fuel ratio and boost gauges. Its a bit slow off the line, but once boost kicks in pulls like someone lit a rocket. It has a newer water pump, alternator, mass air flow sensor, radiator, and exhaust. Driver's seat has a stitch torn, passengers front and rear ok. It has walnut trim inside in the car (real wood, not that plastic crap out there now a days!). Body has a few dents and dings, but no rust. Tires are good, left front is worn on outside part of tread (needs alignment). I was going to fully restore it, but no longer have the $. Restore it or use it as a good daily driver! It does have a crack in the windshield.
Looking for thoughts...wondering if it's worth it...

I can get a great deal on it but I don't want to be stuck with a money sucker.

Thanks!
