940 or 960? Used Volvo advice needed

I'm soon to be turning in my VW lease and I think I've decided on a Volvo 9XX if I can find a nice one that won't be a money pit and cost under $9k.

Would prefer a wagon, but a nice sedan would be OK too.

What's the difference between the 940/960? Is it that the 960 has a 6 cyl? Were some (but not all) 940/960's turbos?

Is it true these RWD models are usually less costly to maintain than 850's?

What are some things I should look for, model years to avoid, etc?

I plan to take the car to an indy mechanic before purchasing. Seems alot of these mid 90's cars are around 130k miles, is that not too bad on a well cared for Volvo? We have some very clean-looking used Volvos here in Arizona, they don't see any harsh weather like the northeast.

Thanks for any advice!
