Default '87 760 Turbo Sedan

I have the opportunity to buy one with 153,000 miles

I have never owned a Volvo, nor a Turbo. What do I need to be careful about? Are there any generic problems with this model?

I am looking for reliability, is this model a good bet?

Thanks,
Scott

They are overall reliable.

Good maintance is the Key.

The worse things with these cars is the Relays. Most people overlook them.

Make sure it is pretty clean and in good shape unless it is cheap.

Alot of people Lacked on good maintance on these cars.

The 2 common ones that go bad are the Fuel pump and the Overdrive.
