so heres a car I found for $200.00...it has lots of surface body rust and a couple rust holes...the trunk wells (behind the rear tires) have been replaced within the last 5 years and the drivers and passengers floorboards as well. It started up with a new battery and took about 10 min. before I could push the choke in all the way. Are parts available and are they expensive? it appears that there is an oil leak around the valve cover but it only has 90,000 original miles on it with all the service reports (oil changes, brakes, suspension and all that jazz) in a book in the glove box. It won best in show at a volvo show in Boston 3 years ago...LOL! That apparently pissed off some owners of very nice volvos...I think I'm gonna buy it but i'm looking for someone to talk me out of it.
