Used 1993 Volvo 940

"Old but good"

"I bought this car about 10 years ago for 2500 and put 1500 into immediate repairs. Since then, I spend 500-1000 yearly on various things including the usual tires and oil changes. I am not sure of the mileage because I replaced the odometer twice but I would guess it is 300000. I fix anything and everything that breaks or goes wrong and it has been a wonderful car. I think it will last another 10 years easily if I baby it. Last year, I drove to the west coast and back (over 4000 miles) with no problems. It gets 30 miles to the gallon on the open road and 25 or so in town."

"24 years old, it still out performs/lasts new cars"

"I bought mine used for $300, running and driving, very easy to DIY work on (I've replaced the heater core, pads, calipers, and rotors all around, as well as some other stuff) Runs perfectly smooth, fast, handles amazingly well Very reliable, after 24 years of northern winters, it barely has any rust underneath"

"super car. little problem."

"after 181k MILES, still going strong. only small problems i.e. rad hose leak and no heat in the winter (yes, has coolant - thermostat?). it blows oil/exhaust if it sits idling too long, but hey, it has nearly 200K miles!! love it."
