Christ!!  I had a '74 145 wagon and lots of problems.  For one thing, clutch
cables apparently last exactly 4 years.  Parts are hideously expensive.
Their touch-up paint does anything but match your body color.  And
all that safety-steel-cage-so-your-kids-don't-get-mashed stuff is fine, but
they still crumple up like so much tinfoil when you bash them.  The electrics
are wholly inadequate - I had various wires in the harness go bad.  And in
the wagons, a common problem seems to be that the spare tire tends to cut the
taillight harness in two after a while by pressing it against a sharp edge.
Oh, you can have youyr Volvos, but I tell you I'm done with 'em, never again.
