The car itself is Volvo 740 in fairly good condition with 230 000 kilometers so it'll run atleast another 150 000 or so without any major problems, but you'll never now...[/QUOTE]
check fluids
bring extra fluids with you, along with air pressure meters and air pump

It's a volvo, you're safe.
But if you really insist: bring engine oil, coolant (or bottles of water in worst case could work)

I'd bring a good toolkit and extra fluids at the least
[QUOTE=sealpower;28367507]I've no need to compensate...
Seriously, I meant in terms of tools, fluids and parts[/QUOTE]
and I saw this post now :v:
no parts go wrong on a volvo (no, not my caliper), just bring fluids and a good toolkit

The guys were only joking around with bringing condoms, but you want to go all out and bring tools and fluids and shit. Dauym.

I wish I could bring this car back to the road, it makes me sad that they let it fall this far into disrepair.
It is the only one I have ever seen IRL.[/QUOTE]
It could still be restored if the bottom isn't rotted out.

I am sure it could be restored but I doubt it will be done.
It's too bad he won't sell it to you though. I mean what's so important about it to him that he has to keep it on his lawn rusting away?
Fuck the Midwest and the lack of nice condition 90s cars!

He says his son wants it, but he is like in his late 60s or something, so I doubt his son, probably in his 40s, is going to come and take it and fix it up anytime soon.

Alright I'm not very good with cars. Is it bad that my car looses brakefluid? It's not a lot, but I have to put in more every 4-5 months.

If you recently swapped some brake parts it could be air in the system that's slowly getting out, otherwise you probably have a small leak somewhere.
How much to you think such a leak would take to fix? Is it cheaper than actually buying a small bottle of brakefluid twice a year?
I've no idea, probably depends on where it is. A new brake hose on my front right wheel cost about 200€ for me but Volvo's prices are ridiculous anyway.
If it's cheaper probably depends on how long you're planning to do it. I also wouldn't bet that a small leak can't turn into a big one. Worst case being the whole braking system looses pressure and you'll run over a disabled child from Ethiopia and hate yourself for the rest of your life.

I think it's safer to repair it, mayb u can ask that they take the air out of the circuit first to see if that's the problem, but you'll pay for doing it twice if that isn't the problem, cause if they put a new circuit they'll do it anyway. Or you can take a look and see for yourself if there are leaks?
AH WHAT OLD FUNNY SYMBOL IS BACK
