Hey guys just bought this 94 Volvo 940 turbo for 200 bucks off of a neighbor. There are a few things wrong with it (needs new struts, new tires, speed/odometer don't work, and some minor esthetic issues). I'm not so sure if it will be worth fixing up but for my first car I thought 200 bucks was a steal lol. I did check and change most fluids already. I also had a local mechanic look at it just to tell me what needed to be fixed so it could pass inspection. I will be looking through these forums extensively for the next couple of months

Don't worry about the worn out stuff. Go to:

Volvo 700 V8 Series, V-8 Conversion

and find the cure for what ails your new ride.


This is on my bucket list of things to do before I die. I'm thinking charcoal gray, black interior, darkly tinted windows, highly polished mags, and fat-sticky tires. A very nice, low-key ride that will make the occasional M5 look for a place to hide...

Be sure to check out the 200/700/900 section of the forum. especially the 700 and 900s are rather similar. But if you want the V8... by all means... that section might not help you so much...
