Hi, my name is Louis Meyer im 17 and i live in North Port, Fl. Im looking for a first car and have found a few promising choices that turned bad, so im a little discouraged. However, today i drove a 1996 960 (http://sarasota.craigslist.org/cto/2453489796.html this is the ad for it). I have a relative who is crazy about Volvos and i know of their legacy, so to speak, and i know that they more or less last for ever and are very reliable. My real question comes to play in the fact that my uncle isnt very familiar with the 960's engine, so any information like whether or not it is an interference or non, and anything at all about anything else about the car would be of great help. Another big thing is that the seller says that the air compressor is dead and would need to be replaced, which is probably about $1000 if it needs to be rebuilt, though it would cost less if i was able to find a used one, so do any of you think that that would be a viable option, to find a used air compressor. I also found a 1990 420 dl (http://sarasota.craigslist.org/cto/2368167521.html the ad for it) and any information about that peticular model would be amazingly helpful. So this would be a first car and my first volvo, so any advice or info or anything would help.
Thank you all for anything that you can help with.
