FAQ WARNINGS about buying a 960/S90???? S90-V90

Awww.....I believe the FAQ is a bit disconcerting.

A year and a half ago I purchased a 1995 960 wagon to haul the wife and kids around in. It was a trade in at a local Audi dealership. I bought it for too much money and I drove it for about 5 miles before the upper inlet on the radiator burst and sprayed hot coolant all over the engine bay. I had only had the car in my possession for about an hour! I had the car towed back to the (now closed) dealership and had to wait until the following Monday to talk to them about rectifying the situation.

Meanwhile, I was referred to the Brickboard for the first time by an aquaintance, and read all the things in the FAQ. The FAQ got me all freaked-out and I was having some serious buyers remorse. It was pretty disconcerting.

Anyway, I have not had a problem with the car since then. I'm very happy with my Volvo 960! I got ahold of the local Volvo service center and they gave me a rundown of everything that had been done to the car in recent years. A replaced PNP swith and new struts. A tranny flush. Synthetic oil. Timing belt. Other than the PNP switch, nothing out of the ordinary....just basic maintenance.

It the most comfortable car I've owned and I LOVE IT! I would buy another, and I frequently watch 960's on eBay Motors just to see what kind of great deals are going down on this Fabulous car!

Too bad it doesn't get better gas mileage.

Cheers,
kkoch
