Should I buy another wagon or not?

I found a 16V manual wagon, 20 miles south of the house, for $400 and I'm tempted, bad... Really bad. On the other hand, I don't need to spend the money, because I'm still recovering from the budget hit I took when I bought my 940, right after the taxes for my relocation were taken out...

It's going to need the suspension redone, and it also needs a head gasket and the alternator bracket, for sure...

Thoughts?

Quick, crappy potatoshot of the car for your time:

Don't do it. You already have three Volvos. If you get another one, we're going to have to have an intervention.

Rare-ish Volvo with 3 pedals, you know the answer.

You'll be that guy with a hundred of the same cars in the yard and they all start to get rough because you split your maintenance money too many times. Then cats will start to live in them and grass will grow all around them until its a Volvo forest, you know the guys I'm talking about. Then again its a manual.

I've only got two.. I sold the Amazon, and I'm looking at making this one into the autocross rig to replace the Mazda, for when I sell it next year.

This is Kansas. We don't care about puny emissions or testing or safety or anything other than, "Does it have a motor and wheels?"

Eh, well, I can't stop you. Go with whatever makes sense.

Well, there you go. Buy it and shove a big block in there.

Dont forget the VIN. I saw a few post on here this weekend that made me think of you. Some oppo guy was selling a turbo brick.
