Not a lot of pictures, and the few present are pretty terrible. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , it's hard to complain.

He'd also got the badges on backwards, to match the steering wheel I guess?
I say it would at least be worth checking out, if I hadn't just bought a car last month.
Also, have these been known to get 30 mpg? Because that's what the seller is claiming.

It seems like it's got a good amount of rot on it, But if you can get it down to around $300-$400 I'd say it's a pretty good deal.

For a Volvo, the thing looks beat to hell to be honest.

they spent $3k to fix up a beater?! Isn't that doing it wrong?

Right!? He had a shop do it, is my guess. But I feel like you generally decide to cut your losses once you see the 3k estimate, not after you pay them 3k to fix everything.

The badges aren't reversed, it's just a mirror image.
Also not right hand drive.
Lastly, in my opinion anyone who is selling a car that claims it needs a cheap or easy fix is usually lying, especially when they word it "Should be" minor.

I was thinking that on the badge, but for some reason I couldn't work it out in my head for the steering wheel.

CP. He spent $3,000 in repairs last year. The same thing happened to my step dad's when it hit 240,000 miles the repairs started to cost more than a car payment.

Our minds play tricks on us. I must admit that I had to flip it and see it before I was sure. I couldn't picture it in my mind either.
