I'm a fucking pain machine and if you even touch my fucking car I WILL FUCKING DESTROY YOU.
My friend is offering me her mid/late 80's 245DL for ~500$

It apparently leaks/eats oil and needs a new front strut. I just need a car to get around the city. This a good idea? I am terrible about mechanics but willing to learn. 500$ is good for a car tho..

edit- ~200k mi

Well she's been flip flopping because her dad uses it as a work or commute vehicle, finally got back to me and I'm checking it out this weekend. Will update with photos, info.

Edit- its a 1989 245 DL 4 cyl and needs a strut on the drivers side.

I read a bunch on kjet and some other sites but I guess I wasn't specific enough in this thread, how does a 1989 240DL 4 cyl wagon that needs a drivers side strut sound? They're asking 500 and I have no idea about it because I haven't seen it, its a daily driver and its drivable right now, they'll probably take it over to me this weekend. I have a mechanic friend who loves volvos to show me the ropes if it sounds like a good deal.
