1993 Volvo 940 Turbo 2.3L turbo

Summary:

Very nice roomy interior well thought out

Faults:

Nothing yet the car just came out of the shop for service when I bought it. New timing belt, tires, batteries,ac service, tune up. Looking great...

General Comments:

I have driven this car over the past 10 years it belonged to a friend of mine who took real good care of the car. It is an excellent car. I drove this car with both of our families in it in the mountains and the snow it is truly a nice large comfortable car. It currently has 164k+ miles I do not have any experience with turbos. The good part is all of the electronics in the car works perfect sunroof, heated seats, radio, ac etc. Minor ware on the seats everything else is clean including the engine. So far so good I don't know how long the car would last the body is excellent minor scratches paint is great just waxed it last week. I have heard this cars go for 200+ to 400k miles. we'll see...

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I have a 1993 Volvo 940. It's has 180+ miles on it, and it does not run very well. All of the electronics are slowly breaking (sunroof doesn't work, drivers side window doesn't work, drivers side rear window can only be rolled up by driver, seat electronics are on their last leg). We bought it in 2002 with 140+ miles on it for $5000 and have probably put $4500 above and beyond that into it with service and work. Volvo's are great cars, they are extremely safe and I do recommend them highly. Yet, they are very expensive to fix and it seems that once one thing goes wrong it's not long before everything else follows.

Tough as a nail, soft as a couch

Air conditioning broke.

SRS airbag control unit needed replacing.

Oil plug fell out.

Power antenna needed replacing.

General Comments:

Very comfy ride.

Almost maintains itself-- expect to drive this car for a long time.

Lots of modern options.

Not the best acceleration, however.

I bought my 1993 Volvo 940 wagon in 1996 with 67+K miles; it now has 120K. I have been very satisfied in the 8 years I've driven it. I know the parts are more expensive, but since repairs are infrequent, it evens out. Most of my repairs have been ordinary maintenance--oil change, belts, tires, brakes, etc. I did have to replace the fuel pump, catalytic converter and now the air-conditioning control unit. The engine is small for powering a heavier car so acceleration is slower than I like.
