Brake-O brakes (discs and pads, front and rear) were installed on all last year on 04/09/2009 at 238,560 milesThe tires are Toyo Spectrum P195/70R14 and were installed on 10/16/2006 at 219,914 miles. The tires are in fair to good shape (particularly the rear), but the car does need a front-end alignmentBosch Battery installed on 08/28/2006The A/C compressor recently locked up so there is no A/C. But it does have power steering since I had my shop bypass the A/C compressor and install a belt from the crankshaft to the power steering pump. This service was done on 04/27/2010.Also noted by my repair shop at that time: Car has worn left side outer tie rod (approx. repair cost = $91.00)Car has leaking transmission from front pump seal. The car uses approximately 1 qt of oil for every oil change (every 3000-4000 miles).The windshield washer does not work. The hose and connectors are broken. I do not know if the pump works or not.The body is in overall good condition, but does have a few dings and some trim is missing on right rear (see photo).There is a crack in the dashboard.There is a small chip in the windshield which was there since the day the car was purchased and it hasn't changed in size.Left rear back-up light does not work; needs a new bulb socket holder I have most (but not all) records for the time I owned the car and some of the records from the first owner. Due to a clerical error that occurred when the car was purchased at 141,776 miles, for the past 13 years the automobile's title has incorrectly listed the mileage in excess of 1 million miles. I still had the "Odometer Discrepancy Affidavit" from the first owner and a new title, with the correct mileage, was issued on 05/06/2010. Current mileage (as of 06/03/2010) is 250,975 miles. Actual miles are approximately 700-800 miles more since I needed to have the speedometer/odometer head rebuilt. This problem started in October 2008. Rebuilt speedometer/odometer head installed on 11/19/2008 at 235,757 miles. This is a wonderful, classic VOLVO! Please feel free to email if you have any questions.
