Run away...far away from any Volvo V6 that you find in a 200 series car. They have issues and are the main reason you find very few of them on the road any more. I suspect you will find the 265 does not have much more pep than your current car. If you want a little more pep, find a 200 series car with a manual transmission. If you want even a bit more pep, find a 200 series Turbo car. There is a 700 series 16 valve car on Kijiji right now for cheap. The 16 valve (B234) engine was the most powerful naturally aspirated engine found in the 2 or 7 series cars. Bottom line is there are many choices...stay away from the V6...
