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

Hi Betty. Welcome to VolvoForums.com.

Nice grab. Does it start and run ok?

 

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...

 

Welcome to the forum. Betty is looking good for her age.
