I was the guy who posted as Newbie to Volvo world a week or so ago. anyway,
I have been doing a lot of research on used Volvos and I have zeroed in on
the mid-to-late 90's 850's or 960's. I have been searching autotrader and
craigslist for two weeks now. The best car I have found is at a very
reputable dealership. It is a 1997 960 in very good to great condition. It
has 79,500 miles on it and they are asking $8990. They just fixed the a/c
and sunroof.

I realize that going to a dealership is not where one finds the best value
on a used car. I have looked up the carfax on it(clean) and checked the
values on kbb and nada and this one is on the high end of both sites. But
frankly, we are in great need of a new car and I am tired of the shopping
game. I do not have time for it and it seems that I am chasing my tail to
perhaps save a few bucks. So long story short what would you guys pay for a:

1997 960
79,500 miles
great condition
from a reputable vovlo dealership
