Bud:

You should be able to find a great 240 or 740 for that price, and maybe still have some change left over to do minor repairs or mods to make you happier with the car. It's also possible you could find a 940 in that price range, but somewhat less likely. I mention the 240, 740, and 940 together because they all have the famed B230 engine (post-1985, anyway), which most will agree is extremely durable and, for the most part, easy to maintain.

Since you're still familiarizing yourself with all things Volvo, be sure to have your possible candidates checked out by a Volvo-savvy mechanic before you buy, just to be sure you're not buying more headaches than you're willing to deal with.

Well-maintained Volvos are some of the most durable vehicles on the planet, in addition to being safe. Before I bought my first brick, I thought 100,000 miles was high mileage. Ha!

Best of luck in your search.
