You will probably get a lot responses to this. The 960 is generally a love or hate relationship. I bought a 92 960 looking for a good road car. In that aspect the car was all that I wanted. I was ignorant of the potential problems that could belay the engine knowing only that the PO had a mechanic friend that didn't understand the complexities of the 960 and didn't change the timing belt when due and caused the timing belt to break. The car ran flawless when I bought it. I think most of the problems I had with the engine were a result of actions by the PO. I had some unique problems and have posted those before. All those problems, left me with a bad taste for an interfrence engine.

The radiator and air-conditioning issues were unrelated to the car being a 960.

Others have had a good experience with the 960, but agree that proper maintenance of the car is essential. If the car is maintain properly, you should get lots of miles out of it. Poor or little records, leave the car alone IMO.
