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

These people who have been responding are being very nice to you. A 1987 Camaro (unless it has been restored and is in excellent shape) is not much compared to a decently maintained 1993 940. Other than being faster, the Camaro will have nothing over the 940. Even if they were equal in condition for their years, the 940 would be more reliable, much, much, much (did I say much) safer, and get better fuel economy (though don't expect more than 22 or 23 mpg overall). As others have said, get the car evaluated to make sure there are no deal killers with the 940. NOTE: If you do want a car with speed, then you'll have to look elsewhere than the 940. A 940 Turbo version, or a 960 are options, though you may lose some reliability with those. An early 90's Accord or Camry are also very reliable options (can't believe I said that, hopefully the Volvo Gods won't strike me dead!). In fact, if reliability is a key, the Accord/Camry might be better (Please, no!).
