Hey People...............I have the option to buy either a 1992 960 Volvo Sedan that is white with all options and black leather interior or a 1993 240 wagon. The 960 is nice but has a broken timing belt and all I know is it doesn't run so not sure i the pistons made contact with the valves or not but its on $550. The 240 is excellent on the outside with no rust and the paint shines but the interior needs some help. It is $1200 but it is a five speed which I love! Help!!!!!!!!!1

 

Hello,

As I'm an 850 driver, I am not privy to those models. However, I would definitely avoid the 960 if it has a broken timing belt. The previous owner failed to have one of the most critical maintenance done, and I assume there are more troubles with the car. The $550 could turn out $2,000 or more in the next few weeks.

I would post a thread in the 240 and ask people there in regard to the car; how it's like to drive 240 and what the common problems are.

Good luck,


JPN

 

Run away from the 960 as fast as you can.

All intake or all valves are bent.
