idling tends to build up carbon, put more wear on things due to lower oil stagnation...if it runs good i would say go with it though. just have things like that in mind. also see if you can look at maintenance records.


and don't fucking stance it and ruin what it was originally purposed for. they put steels on them and covered the motor and drive train to drive them OVER things, not AROUND them

Yes you'd want to try to find lower idle hours typically. Though mine is a run of the mill patrol car with 8600 hours and it's been running fine for over 2 years as a DD. I'd be prepared for the little quirks of a cop car. Like the dome lights don't turn on when you open the door, ultimate bare bones interior. But if you're fine with that it's a great car. Look in the driver door for the axle code, try to get a LSD one if you can.

They made the 335i, besides that yes.

it's totaled bro. time to go car shopping.

>>16292935
Kek right. It's weird though. Will idle all day at normal temp, but a few minutes of driving causes the needle to jump, just driving under 3k around the streets. Fans seem to come on but it rises quickly

Wut

Mine didn't fail in the first 100K miles.
But I've heard they can fail anytime between 120 and 200K miles. Just budget for it and keep an eye on the fluids. The fix is permanent AFAIK.

Feel in the rear wheel well if the top is closed or open.

There's insulation that gets wet and rusts from the inside out on the older ones.

Rear wheel bearings. Check em. It's a huge, colossal pain in the dick if the car is rusty. Pre o2 is bad I think, ball instead of needle.

I bought mine for 1350 and sold it for 2 grand, 220ish on the clock.

I hated it by the end and went back to a volvo

Thanks guys. I'll try to check some of those things out when I go to see it. Also if the HG repair is a one time thing, then it shouldnt be too bad I guess. I'll likely have to replace the timing belt in it if I do buy it, so maybe I can get the HG done along with it.

I got a S40 2.4i 2004.5 for $7.5k a couple years ago

Nothing but little problems, oil trap fucked out, sunroof drain hoses came out, expansion tank disentergrated, battery went flat randomly

Not bad compared to a yota or some shit though

> now I've got a '82 244 and its fucken sweet, no issues at all

>>16291617
Well, are there any modern(post 2000) cars that don't suck ass? Its not about cost of repairs, its about losing your time wrenching it daily(because a new thing breaks every day) or taking it to a shop all the time(and being stuck with either my shitbox or a borrowed car from the stealership)

Fiance's old '04 S60 felt pretty worn out by 115k. Interior trim flaking and failing, cracked leather, SRS airbag light and dash info display in permanent epilepsy (bad solder joints I'm told). Driver's side window regulator broke (cheap enough to fix, but need VIDA to reprogram auto-up level). Front end had already needed some work (tie rod ends) and the spring isolaters had failed I think, causing a rattle over bumps. On the positive side, the paint was of excellent quality and very durable. Underside there wasn't a lick of rust. The seats were some of the best I've ever sat in. Fuel economy with the 2.4i motor was pretty good, especially on the highway. The way it tracked down the highway at higher speeds was impressive. Between the comfy seats and that surefootedness, the car absolutely gobbled up highway miles. Oh the rear seat is tiny, less room than a freaking Civic.

So as long as you're willing to tinker with a few things (VIDA diagnostics would be a must-buy IMO) or have a good Volvo indie guy around, they're alright. Avoid anything pre-04 like the plague, those have premature wearing transmissions due to a stupid programming issue, as well as some throttle body problems from what i understand that were fixed on later cars.

Overall I wouldn't really associate Volvo's reputation earned with the old boxy RWD cars which were much more DIY friendly, with the newer FWD stuff, especially not the Ford era P2 cars when they went to a CANBUS electrical system and all that jazz.


I'd recommend an older Toyota Avalon for comfy worry free cruising on a budget. $5-6k should get you a really nice early-mid 00s model with a ton of life left in it. Just change the oil regularly and keep the timing belt job in mind if it's due. Perhaps you'll miss out on the Swedish seats, but you'll get a car that wears like iron and is comfy as hell (softer riding than Volvo for sure).

Anyone? Pls help.

Naturally aspirated four cylinders.

>>16289111

Because people that own Yota's and Honda's tend to take care of their cars. Most domestic cars get beaten and abused.

>>16289130
I mean considering the civic was the most sold car ever in the 90s I don't think that's actually true idk
