Looking at getting a C303, any issues I should look out for?

Hi all,

I've been lusting after a C303 for almost a year now and finally have the chance to purchase one. I've been reading a lot of great info here and researching the web as best I can, but I wanted to tap into the great knowledge base here and find out if there are any typical problems or issues I should be aware of when I'm looking.

I'll definitely be on the look out for rust, but is there any other warning signs I should be looking for inherent to the c303?

Also, would anybody be able to recommend a shop/mechanic familiar with these in the Orange County California area? I can do minor work myself but with my work schedule and limited Volvo knowledge I know I'll need support.

Thanks for any information/tips you can provide!

BTW, if anyone is in the market for one, there's a beautiful one in Pennsylvania on CarsForSale.com. I'm not affiliated with the sale and it seems kind of pricey but thought people might want to know.
