My wife bought this volvo at 4 years of age and 40k... it now (2003) has 142k and is only driven 5000 miles/year. I don't worry about it at all and it costs me next to nothing to service and maintain... maybe $600/year at Say Ray's in Palo Alto. Im looking now to buy a 1994 940, the last of the great ones....but I think Volvo has gone down the tubes now that GM has put its greedy hands around volvos throat. Wouldnt buy anything newer than 1996. Swedes, please buy Volvo car back!

The older Volvos especially the rear wheel drive versions are some of the best and most indestructible cars ever built. The 140 series,the 240 and 740/940 series.Once your discover them,You will realize how quickly they get under your skin.Ive owned just about every vehicle you could imagine. There's just something about these old Volvos that are just very enchanting and endearing.

I would have never thought I'd be happy with a 20 year old car with 222K +. Believe it or not it's a fun car to drive. My roommate who has a 2006 Nissan Murano is always wanting to borrow my car. LOL! Mine has had 3 prior owners who must have pampered her. Except for the crack in the dashboard and slight fading on some of the plastic it looks brand new. Seriously. She runs great so far. I call her "Babe, The Blue Box". This has to be the best $1200 I've ever spent.

My Volvo is a 1985, and it looks better than some eight years older. As of my writing, the odometer reads 250,026. The only maintenance has been a new radiator (common due to the plastic factory radiator), master cylinder, and AC conversion last summer, also throw in a couple of brake shoes and batteries. If this one lasts me 50,000 more miles, I think I will have gotten my money's worth.
