We are looking at purchasing a 2004 Volvo XC70 details below
But ... the auto transmission was serviced in December 2016 and the error message to do the same came up when we were taking it for a test drive. The vendor took it back to the mechanics who serviced it and they say it could be the converter and will cost around $1800 to fix without 100% guarantee that it will work properly. He is asking $2500 for the car which otherwise is in incredibly good condition with only 230,000km on the clock. Is it worth taking a chance because they also said to fully replace the auto transmission would cost $9,000!!! Advice is eagerly sought from someone who knows Volvos and their transmission systems, thanks

Best advice look for another car somewhere else as it is a pristine lemon
if you still want the car get a quote from an accredited automotive transmission specialist shop as the price quoted may be for a genuine factory out of the box price but a fully reconditioned unit with 12 months guarantee andy be around 1/3 of the price
