960 good or bad S90-V90 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Bob Conolly on  Tue Apr 9 07:20 CST 2002 [RELATED]

If you're interested in the 960, do a search for "Tom Irwin" and "General Patton." Also, read some of the archived threads on the 900 board. These cars (960s) can be very problematic.

Given a choice between the 960 and the 240, I would choose the latter. It is not as sophisticated as the 960 is, but it is a tank and with proper care and maintenance will last a very long time. It is also a much simpler car to wrench on, is more DIY friendly, and the parts aren't so expensive as to induce a heart attack (if you steer clear of the dealer, that is).

The late model (91-93) 240s have driver airbag, ABS, and a few other goodies. '93s have R134a A/C and an updated version of the B230F that has oil-cooled pistons.
