1995 960 FOR SALE (soon). You all get first crack. 900 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be C.Wagner on  Tue Jan 29 18:46 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I kept my '87 760 turbo diesel running for 4 years. It was not easy, but I put up with the belching smoke, spontaneous oil leaks, replacing pumps, the turbo, every stupid wire, hose, seal...I had to repair or replace. It was a miracle if the f**king thing didn't leave me stranded at work, or on the highway at 2 a.m., or in the middle of an intersection during rush hour at least once a month. When the motor finally blew up, part of me was very relieved. I've owned 5 so far, and currently have an '81 242 GLT, not in bad shape, but my daily driver is a 97 Accord EX-R. I'm not going to shell out 40k for a New Volvo (I don't even really like the new ones)
I'll always own one, but I'll never again depend on one as an only vehicle.

C.Wagner, 83 242 GLT- Honda for back-up
