zvolvo,
There was another conversation about this same issue a few years back. A makes alotta sense answer was that Volvo decided to rename the 960 and call it S90 in mid 1997. I have two 1997 wagons, One is a 960, the other one is a V90 and neither are S90's. The V90 and 960 have a few minor differences but are basically the same car. I'll agree with the vin number should show '960' somewhere in the sequence. Hard to find either of these care with low mileage.
