Volvo 240 Turbo

ICQ>

I was wondering about a Volvo 240 Turbo. I would like to buy one. I am looking in the range of 83-87. My family has owned two different Volvos. A 1983 240 Turbo and a 1991 740 Turbo. Both of them gave us hell. I remember the many times that my family and I have been stranded on the side of the road. But I am interested in finding a volvo to call my own. I was hoping someone(s) could give me advice on what to look for in a Volvo. Are Turbos troublesome? Are the turbo wagons better than the Turbo sedans? How good is the A/C. Is it weak. Can it be upgraded if so? I live in South Carolina, and A/C is a must. Do these cars need lots of maintance? Do you recommend one to a 18 year old as a daily driver. Your replied as advice are much appreciated.
