I am in the market for a used car that I can drive for 100k moles. So naturally I am looking into Volvos. I have about $5,000.
I think I have narrowed it down (unless you think I am way off) to a 1993 240GL with 100K (no rust), 1998 s70 T5 with 95k (needs brakes and speedo is glitchy), 2001 s80 T6 with 90k (actually the is $6,200), and a 2001 S40 1.9T with 115k (new brakes, timing belt...)
Except for the S80 all are within $4,500 to $5,000.
I commute 100 miles a day (all highway, half of it in stop and go traffic). I would just like to have a beater that will be reliable and not have a car payment for a few years.
Any suggestions?

I am having my 3rd kid and I am an accountant. Looking cool is too ambitious for me. Thanks for the detailed advice. I think the 240 is the way to go. I just hope I could find one with some service history. What does "pre-buyers" inspection go for these days?
Thanks again
