[indierthanthou]

If not, how far down the line are you? Judging from the receipts I have, I'm the sixth.

My registration document says:

Number of formaer keepers: 3 - so that makes me the 4th (1994 525)

2nd owner. I purchased it from a Volvo/Cadillac dealer. It was owned by an older couple (wife's car) who traded it in on a New Volvo SUV. Almost perfect condition cosmetically. Bit of deferred maintenance which as been more than taken care of. Way too much to list

However, the car is better now then when I bought it (72,000 miles later).

Cant find the log book but I think I'm about 10th. I also think 1-9 were lazy b...s judging by what I've had to put right

[Denton]

Nope, 3rd owner. Bought from the 2nd owner a year ago who bought it CPO at 20k miles.

[Torque]

Very possible that I'm the 3rd owner. Guy before me had it since 98 and 61000 miles up until last month. Before that ... I don't know.
