General BS forum I guess this will be for anything that would seem to be off topic in any other forum here. Just general shootin' the breeze kind of topics. |

Actually I would like to set up some sort of CarFax pool here for just such incidents as this. All for our own personal uses, of course.

Rich, just sent you a PM! It acted a little funny when I hit the submit button so I hope you do not get it twice.

Thanks for the offer Rich 86 beat ya to it
I'd like to publicly thank him for the assistance.
With his car fax, my physical inspection (crawled all through this mutha) and some other items that I can't list here, I think we got her a pretty decent ride. It's a 98 Volvo S70, pretty basic but less crap to break. Runs great, looks good, comfortable and most of all, safe for the daughter and grand daughter
I think it'll be a good first car for her.
Thanks again guys
Gordon

Grats Gordon..but (theres always a friggin but)
Make SURE the scheduled maintnance has been done, and will be done... I mean all the crap in the back of the owners manual that everyone ignores.
I have a friend who is a Volvo mechanic, at a large volvo dealer. I was going to get one for Jasmine, and his words were "Be careful, volvo's will run forver, as long as you do all the scheduled maintnance... it ALL HAS to be done, or you can expect it to have major problems"

Thanks for the hint
It all looks pretty good from here, but I'll check it again. The carfax came back clean and appears in order. I did a little something something that reveals a former elderly owner. Probably ok.
