945T gone 900

Not a bad run. Bought the '94 945T seven years ago and only had to do the normal brakes, tires, belts, T belt and hoses.

Brakes, hoses, belts and tires were just done again this year so they're good for the new owner.

The car had 165,411 miles on it but the new owners had just salvaged their 940 after 500,000 miles and wanted another. They drove 5 hours to retrieve it and got a good one.

With exception of the cost of the above parts, gas, oil and insurance, we spent $1,100 on a car that carried us for seven years.

Excellent.

I kept the '95 855T with 200,500 miles as I preferred it, but will miss the tight turning radius and smoother ride of the 940.

I needed a truck but didn't need three vehicles, so one Volvo had to go.

Thanks everyone here for the help on this great car, I'll now be on the other side of the board.

Cheers,

Erwin

    I'll raise a glass to your 945T.

    My 965 is still going but has developed the ubiquitous cam seal/rear seal leak. Otherwise it's in very good shape with nice shiny black paint and a near perfect interior. Some front end clunks are getting worse, brakes getting soft, rear shocks bouncy, etc. I just replaced the driveshaft and trans mount, so I'm now at least committed to getting some miles out of it after that, but it's going to get interesting to see if I do something about those leaks.

    $1400 here and I've had it as a second car for two years on the road, not seeing more than 5,000 miles in that time. I'd like to send my 8 year old off to college in it, so maybe I will sink some funds into it.
