Im getting an R!!! Finally!!!
 

Well now on my 3rd attempt im finally getting an R.

Its a 1996 Red R, with 103k miles on the clock.It has Peg's on it, and a few other litle goodies. It's going to Volvo Inspection on Tue. If allgoeswell , she will be on a transport trailer to me!

Im really happy...

Just wondering if theres anything I should look out for when I get it...or any problems known for 96 R's

Thanks guys, im on a sharp learning curve....

Contratulations!!! In 96 they made two shades of red for the R. One was the real bright red and the other was kind of an orange-ish red. The latter is very rare especially with the charcoal interior. Right now I'm looking at a 97 Red R wagon for my daughter, but I have to get rid of the Acura first.

^Jeesh.. That makes what, 4 volvos if you buy one for your daughter?

Jim, you should really consider applying for Swedish citizenship. :D:D

RE: Im getting an R!!! Finally!!!
 

Jim, what kind of Acura do you have? And what are you looking to get for it? Oh and where do you live?

RE: Im getting an R!!! Finally!!!
 

Jim, think twice before getting rid of your NSX, Honda has discontinued manufacturing NSX (except they are planning to replace the underpowered V6 vehicle with a V10 vehicle).

Or am I confused:)?


>you should really consider applying for Swedish citizenship
Agreed. Or, at least Volvo should hire you as a technical & sales consultant for North American market (and please complain to them about the ABS module & the evaporator[8D]). If not, Volvo should at least give you & your family a free trip to Sweden, including meals.

Am I still confused:)?

Must be the water in Japan[8D]

I'm getting rid of a 97 Acura 2.2 CL. It's a two door coupe and my daughter needs a four door car to haul my granddaughter around in. I'm in Columbus, OH and asking $4,350 for the car.

By the way here are the Volvo's in my family:
95 850 T5R Yellow - mine
97 850 R White - mine
98 V70 GLT - mine
98 V70 R - son's
99 S80 T6 - other daughter
01 V70 - Mother in law

I have also had the follow:ing:
94 850 Turbo - Grey with Charcoal Interior - engine went at 206k or I would still have it. Should have replace engine.
89 760 Turbo Intercooler - Gold - mine - Only one I didn't like too much
85 760 Turbo Diesel - White - my first one I would probably still have it too had we not moved to Colorado
83 760 Turbo Diesel - green - In Laws -This is the one that started the passion for Volvo's
