Answer
Bob, I thought I answered this question already but if not, then I would take the loses and get rid of this car.  You are going to spend more than this in the future.  These are horrible cars when they get up there in milage.  This car was Volvo's biggest mistake.  If you are going  to trade it in on another Volvo, stick with a S70, 850 or a V70.  My prefered Volvo is the 240 but they are getting more and more scarce to find a nice 93.  Roger
