Except for the 940/V90 cars, all Volvos after 1993 are FWD.

Replacing a head gasket on a red block is a piece of cake compared to the white block.

The rust problem was solved by 1991 or 92 with all body panels being galvanized. But a lot of people forget to wax the bottom of the liftgate which can get small nicks and starts to rust.

A 1993 245 for $2K is not bad, so long as it has been maintained properly. The sedans are cheaper. In the Twin Cities, it is getting harder and harder to find a GOOD mechanic for 240s.

Of course, if you have the money, a 2005+ V70 is the way to go.
