Is the car in good shape otherwise? If so I'd go for it.

Good condition or not, that's a steal! Those things have a cult following. I have seen shells with no motor go for a grand! The wagon 240 are more "desireable" than the sedan.. If it was me, I would be all over it. I know I am looking for a wagon and they definitely not easy to come by!

Where is it located? If you don't take it, I will. ha ha j/k

But seriously, that car is a steal. I bet all it needs is a tune up and it would run like a champ.

My experience has been good Volvo deals go in hours, not days. (and never from a dealer). On the up side, there will always be another deal..it may take 6 months to find it, but they are out there. Get there quick and with cash and be willing to drive a LONG way.
