I wondered what I had written on this thread, just read it, copied below. Still feel the same! I still own my 1997 940 which I bought in 2012 and which I had converted to lpg in 2014. I have now done about 200,000 and am probably spending about £1.5 to £2K per year at my garage on servicing and replacement parts but because she is running on lpg it balances out. A small area of rust has appeared on the tail gate but otherwise she is pretty rust free. Still on the same clutch from pre 2012 which I have done something like £130K on!

I imagine I am one of the many drivers who cannot afford to buy or maintain a newer model but I am very happy to own a thoroughbred Swede pre Ford-input to be honest. Last year, due to being so busy working and clocking up high mileage for my job my 940 needed many repairs which I did not have time to do myself and it was pretty soul destoying paying garage prices on top of a £1300 top end lpg conversion but when I have the time and energy to do repairs myself I am very happy to have an old high miler on the road. I am always proud of her, I love to drive a car that stands out from the crowd!
