To 940 or not to 940?? That is the question... 900

Hi Star:
Well, I don't think any of us can make the decision for you. You are asking for a "rational" reason to do something that you are giving an "emotional" reason for resisting. So, you've got to decide whether you can give up the Camaro and move on. If you don't decide to move away from the Camaro so that you are satisfied, then every time there is a problem with the 940 (and there will be sometime) then you will second guess your decision. You also have to decide what image you are comfortable with.

Now, as far as cars go, many of us like the 940s, and one of the advantages of a volvo wagon is just what you mentioned--good cargo room, enough room for your friends. Its a safer car, a newer car, and if it has been maintained well, is likely to last a long time yet. It still has its quirks, as does any ten year old car, and you need to be familiar with them so you can deal with it.

If you decide to buy the Volvo, have a mechanic familiar with Volvos check it out first, and it is a real plus if you can find up-to-date maintenance records. Check the 700/900 FAQs at this site to see what maintenance is required when you buy a used Volvo.

Hope that this is helpful. Good luck with your decision.

Mike
