Need help with decision...3 cars

Thanks in advance for everyone's help....Ok, here's what I've got to do, I'm about to start driving, and I need a car, I talked my father into a 1994 940 last year and its been a great car, I've worked alot on it, and I really enjoy wrenching on it. I have 3 different cars that I am looking at right now, and I hope someone has an opinion on one of them. One is a 1990 Volvo 240 automatic (not sure what model) with about 120K miles on it, the story is that it was a one owner, woman, always seviced etc. The guy is selling it for his friend's mother, he wants $2k I was thinking mabey $1K I'll probably go look at it on Sunday, he says the only thing wrong is that the fuse panel is corroded, and thus the blower and pwr. windows work intermedietly. #2 is a 1989 Volvo 740 GLE Turbo 4 speed with electric OD, sat for one year (today) seems clean, not much known, he says it ran great, may have leaked a little oil. 147K miles guy wanted $1500 last year, says $500 now. (I was thinking $300-$450) #3 is a 1992 Volvo 240 (model unknown) guy took it on trade for contracting work. he doesen't know how many miles, its been sitting about 6 months. the front section of the car appears to be repainted, because it is faded compared to the rest of it. he says $1500 I said $500. I am not trying to be unreasonable with the prices of any of these vehicals, seeing as though they all need work. If anyone has any suggestions, or opinions they would be greatly appreciated.

-Tim
