I have been looking for a new to me car, and well, since a used Volvo is not too expensive, especially when you compair it to the cost of, say a used Acura or Honda, or BMW...well its a seemingly good decision. Sure Volvos get medocre fuel economy, but hey premium is no more then 2.75/us gal and I do not see it going much over $3/gal in inflation adjusted terms in the near term. Therefore, if the Volvo gets 20 MPG (low end) and the alternatives get 30 MPG (high end) over 15,000miles a year 150 galons of fuel is $450...a lot less then the price of entry to a BMW or a Honda/Acura...
I like the 940 because it's easy to work on, and does ok on fuel...but I missed this wonderful deal--IDIOT!!
Can folks with experence with Volvo turbos give me some feedback about the turbo vs the non models please.
Thanks very much!
