follow up to new running problem, which should I buy?

I have found two outstanding used Volvo's! One is a beautiful 94 940 turbo with 156K. It's silver with all (that I can find) options, black leather and looks new in and out! Really nice car! I can get it for $3500 over what I can get for my 89 740 GL with 205,000. Basically 6500 for the 940, 3000 for mine. Really rides and drives great. Other car is a 92 745 turbo. Immaculate white with black leather. Looks like it's never even been sat in! 135,000 miles. Drives like a dream. No cruise and power seats but I can add the cruise. Can get it for $2500 over mine? Question, can a guy pull off the "cool bachelor look" with a white Volvo wagon? Not sure but it's sure got lots of room in the back!!! LOL Seriously, any ideas of the two against each other and the relative value of each? They are really comparable in their condition. Kind of trending toward the wagon with lower miles and cheaper price but would appreciate any ideas or advice.
Thanks
Ben

"...can a guy pull off the "cool bachelor look" with a white Volvo wagon?..."

When you tell her how much furniture can be purchased and hauled home in the back of that wagon, you'll be the ultimate chick magnet.

it's hard to believe that i traded my 318is for the latest 965, but i did. the wagon is the ultimate enclosed hauler. i do miss taking turns at 20-30 mph over posted speeds with ease though.i'm married so i dont need a chick magnet and i drive the brick for the safety factor anyway. i feel like i'm secured in a cage every time i slide in. you can tint the windows and help out some.
