I have not posted here in a while, but have kept up some. Sold my last 900 3 years ago. It went to a good home, but did miss it. My oldest is turning 16 in less than a year, so I decided to solve the car problem. I decided to let him drive the Volvo 240 wagon, which has been faithful for 12 years, and still going strong. Saw a Craiglist ad for a 85 900 with only 49,000 original miles, one owner, never wrecked, garaged, etc. Ad said it needed a radiator and cooling fan switch according to their mechanic. They said it overflowed the coolant resevoir while idling in the driveway due to the fans not coming on. I checked it with a pressure tester and their were no leaks, and pointed this out to them. Made an offer which was accepted! On my way home I realized that it was a 2 door with a trunk, not a hatch! For some reason it did not strike me until I was 10 miles away. All it needed was the fan time delay relay bridged, and some front and rear brake pads. Changed all the fluids and converted the AC, and now it is a daily driver. Now for the price! Lets just say less than $1,400! Rides like only a genuine 49k car could ride. Sorry for the long story, but I think the people here would understand!
