This is a "beat the trade-in" special and it needs some work. Most people want to know the issues, so here they are in order or importance: Needs a new radiator. There is a leak. I don't drive this car much because I'm close enough to commute by bike but I keep coolant in the trunk for around town trips. A light will come on if you're running low on coolant so NO damage has occurred to the cylinder head due to lack of coolant. Needs inspection. I knew we were getting a new car so I will not put any money into this car. The inspection is expired. I make no guarantees about other issues it may have but I don't expect it to fail ONCE the radiator is replaced. Check Engine Light is on. This is due to a evaporative fuel reclamation thingy. Most likely a valve somewhere. It's been on forever, the Volvo mechanic said don't worry about it so I'm not. Passenger side rear door lock does not unlock automatically. Something is broken with the thingy that pushes the latch up when you use the automatic door locks. You have to reach back and unlock the door "old school" when you want to open this door. The seat heaters have been disabled. The insulation on the seat heaters wore off and burned a small hole in the drivers seat. I disabled them by removing the fuse. The wipers on the headlights have been disabled. One of the motors work intermittently. They really aren't needed. They are a "winter driving package" feature and were never relied on. A seam has split on the fabric on the front drive seat. Car runs great, it's mechanically sound. I've maintained it well. AC is nice and cold. If you're mechanically inclined and can replace a radiator this car is a steal. If you add $280.00 to the winning bid I will replace the radiator for you. You can get a new radiator from AutoZone for ~$179 dollars. My time is valuable to me so I will charge a bit extra to do the work if you want me to do it.
