FWIW, I had the chance to buy a "gorgeous" 854T (obviously garaged it's entire life) for my daughter at a decent price with a regular, not salvage title and I declined it when the routine service history couldn't be located.

I'd suggest diagnosing and fixing the problems with the '93 and then investing in the AAA "Plus" road service which includes 100 miles of free towing, and identifying good Volvo indy shop at both ends of your trip.

The "salvage" T5 might be even more trouble than what you have now.
