I was told recently by a Volvo dealer that my '96 854 is a GTA. I have been unable to find a description of what a "GTA" is. The car in question has leather, cd, cold weather, tracs, but no turbo, sunroof or passenger power seat. I was told when I bought it from the dealer that it was a "program car" (it was a year old w/7700 miles and had not been titled). Does GTA describe the option package in this case?

I have never heard of such a beast. Run the VIN on carfax's site to get a free hisstory check. What do they call it? <P>

Carfax confirmed it's a base model engine but didn't shed any light on the GTA designation. I found a used "GTA" on the web at Allentown Volvo. The dealer there explained that GTA was an option package (leather, CD or alarm, alloys) on the base model. Presumably GTAS is same w/sunroof. I am pleasantly suprised to see the premium they're asking for same car w/more mileage than mine!
