New proud owner of a 940 Turbo Wagon
So today I became, officially, the proud owner of a Volvo 940 Turbo Wagon. It's from 1997 (same date of birth as my wife, only 10 years younger), with a B230FK, M90 tranny and it has almost 500000km! It's a one owner car with all maintenance made at the Volvo dealership (proven by paperwork) including an engine rebuild in 2019 that cost almost 3k euros. *
Drives great, sounds great and breaks great. Not sure if the turbo is 100%. I don't hear it kicking in. Also a minor issue with the ac. No leaks. No rust. Only a few scratches a 1 piece of trim missing. Photos: https://imgur.com/a/fKXq6Gf |

Congratulations on your purchase
It has cruise control too, which is quite rare over here |

What color is yours? I wish mine had less kms. But we'll, at least i have a complete history of maintenance. And i know the engine was rebuilt 24k km ago.

I see, you got the same color! I like the blue too, probably more. But I haven't seen this classic model, either estate or saloon, in any colors other than red or green here in spain.
Oh and the 940 wagons are so rare that I would have taken ANY color. |

CC works at speeds over 35mph/55kph.
Slide the switch on the front of the indicator lever to the middle of it's travel and when at your desired speed, press the button on the end of the same lever. Sliding the switch to the right will cancel CC as will pressing the brake or clutch pedals. Sliding the switch to the left (it will then spring back to the centre) will resume CC at your previously set speed. Nice car you have there. Don't worry about the mileage, they go on for ever.
