This Volvo runs and drives but has a couple problems, let me also say to start that this twin turbo is quite fast too. Overall, the body looks pretty good and the interior isn't bad either (some leather wear, and other minor aging). The pictures show the state of the interior and exterior fairly well, so I'll get to the problems: When I first bought this car (about 6 years ago) I spent 9 days doing extensive maintenance (rebuilding both turbos, changing the timing belt, tuning the steering/suspension, changing fluids, etc). Long story short, I decided not to change the head gasket at that time. It slowly developed a head gasket problem over the years I drove it, you can see evidence of it as smoke comes out of the tailpipe (most visible at idle). I decided to stop driving it about 2 years ago and it has sit in the shade since (I run it every now and then and take it up and down the road). My plan had been to replace the head gasket when I got the time and have it as a second car, however I'm now starting the applications process for grad school and don't have time to do this. If you're a mechanic or at all mechanically inclined, this could be a good deal for you. The full head gasket set is less than $200 for this car, which is all it needs. Since it has been sitting (and irregularly driven/not always having a battery connected) it has developed 2 error messages. The 1st is "SRS Airbag Service Urgent" and 2nd is "Transmission Service Requested". I happen to know the first can be caused in Volvos where the battery dies or is connected/disconnected (it can be reset by a computer). The Second error message I believe is from not having been at highway speeds in 2 years. The ATF still looks good and I replaced it along with the filter when I first got the car so I don't think anything is mechanically wrong with the transmission. I also have a lot of spare parts I bought in bulk when I purchased this car to keep it maintained that will come with the car (off the top of my head things like oil filters, spare transmission filter/gasket, fuel filter, etc). The only cosmetic damage worth mentioning is road rash from the previous owner on the driver side bumper (it's mostly covered up and visible in the pictures) and the fabric on the sunroof cover is sagging (the sunroof works and doesn't leak, the glue/foam has just let go). All other cosmetic wear would be considered pretty normal for a 15 year old car. This car, of course, is sold as is. I have given a thorough and accurate description. I'm happy to answer any questions.
