I have came to a crossroads once again with 940's.

Our d24tic is at 280ish k and we have been offered through a friend the chance to purchase a 940 hpt with about 280k on. It has Everything extras wise, cruise, ac,elec leather etc. The car has full volvo service history and is claimed to be mint although i have only seen pictures so far. Its very tempting.

We both really wanted a 940 with a bit more get up and go so it really appeals to us been a hpt but the mileage scares me?

Apparently it uses very little oil and runs absolutely fine so what do other folk think? I have never had a petrol that high miles and did fancy 11psi at some point but suspect its off the cards without rebuild work at later date with that kinda miles. The owner really wants the car to be kept going and not scraped or broken for spares so i am keen.

Decisions decisions

Ohh and i am been warned and warned and warned about mpg. Are they really that bad haha?
