Mike, Volvos are considered super reliable for the most part. Dang, seems like everyone and their mos has a 240 wagon. I am trying to find one to lower and make a project, but seem to elude me in every scenario of looking at one! The V40's are reliable as heck and great on gas mileage! I personally like the crosscpuntry, but I will tell you to make sure to have it inspected especially the AWD system. Those if neglected can be BIG money to reapiur, otherwise a solid wagon and reliable and that sure is a very attractive price for that too!. Just about any Volvo out there is reliable as long as it has been cared for in service. Good Luck in your search! W E L C O M E!!!!

 

Thanks for the info. I like the cross country a little better because of the AWD plus lower miles. And it happens to be my favorite color lol

Check this thread out, will be a world of help for you.

 

V40 is crap DO NOT buy it.

The 1999 Cross Country would be a better choice but that year is crappy. Your better off looking for a 1995-1997 850 model or 1998 V70 model.

 

Welcome.

 

Do it.... They are slow as heck, but fun as heck to drive. I had an 85 for about 22 months ago and LOVED that thing. I just sold it last week so I can find a 240 wagon. If you do get one, IMO get a 5 speed or if u get an old one, then 4 speed with the OD button. They are SUPER CHEAP and easy to work on... I will eventually get a wagon, but until then the search continues........Good Luck man, finding a car!
