Default newbie to volvo, questions?

I may be buying a 1996 volvo 960 with 108k miles. Never had a volvo, hard core Honda guy, price for used cars Honda is over rated.

are volvo as durable as Honda.

how is the 960, the issues it has are:

srs light on, owwners say it cost $100 to reset it so he did not bother.

he has the keyless remote missing, dealer will charge $100 for keyless and another $100 to program it.


The car had major service like timming belt etc done. anything I need to do after I get it, or I should not.


last question, I can also get a s70 for $1000. more with 120k miles. which is a better deal.


pls help


also is the the best forum form volvo

What year is the S70?
The 960 is a pretty good car.

The Remote you can program your self for $0.00

SRS will cost some to reset.

Timing belt is due every 70,000 miles
Tune up due every 30,000 miles

Me I would probably take the S70 over the 960.
But $1000.00 is really cheap for an S70.

There must be more wrong with it.
