Hello, My friend is looking for a new car and I have found a 1991 940 turbo in town that is bright red with tan leather and has 140k on it. The body is nice and straight but could use tires. I called the owner and he said it was his wifes car and they have owned it 7 to 8 years. I asked if the turbo was replaced yet and he said he thought so. I would want to verify that or at least get a big chunck off the price with that mileage. The seats had covers on them and I asked if the seats were tore and he said just a little bit (typical volvo leather!) He is asking $3,750 but he said he would take $3,500. I'm sure he will go lower because I am in a small town in Arkansas where there is no demand for Volvo's. Is this the first year of the 940's? Is this a good year to buy one? Are there any major problems with these cars to look out for? I own a 93 240 and have owned a 88 240 and 80 242 so I know Volvo's have their problems. I want something reliable for him because his soon to be wife will be driving it and he is not mechanically inclined at all. Thanks for your help. I think the car seems like a good deal price wise. Is it?
