Should I Upgrade My 240 for a 940?? 200 1989

We've got both. I'd say $5k is steep for a 92 940, but if it's in truly good shape and you can trust the seller....

Volvo changed to R134a in the 1993 model year, didn't they?...if so, a 92 would have the old R12 A/C. Mucho $$$ to fix any problems and recharge. Our 940 is a more comfortable car on trips (quieter, smoother, good cruise control...arguably better seats), but the handling and general feel seem a bit numb compared to the 240.

We handed over our 21-yrs-in-the-family 83DL to our daughter a couple of yrs ago, but I've reclaimed it for a while to do the engine harness, rear TAB's, and a few other items. Meantime, she has the 940 at college and every phone call asks "can I have my 240 back yet?"
