    Anyone here work on volvos??

     



    Just got a general question about one of em, before I get one for the wife. I figure some tech on here might know a little about them.

    Well the qustion I had is that its a 1990 940 Turbo Wagon, well maintained, but all the parts places list 91-98 940's and not the 90. So I know its the 740 reskinned mostly, but a volvo site lists the 940 as being introduced in 1991 so Im confused, thus the need for an answered question. Thanks Denny.

    Ford bought Volvo around 1990 and at that time they changed things around... my friend has a '89 740 Turbo, pretty much indestructable cars. he no longer drives his as he bougt a newer Jetta

    I stood on top of one in a junkyard once to see where the good cars where, does that count????? Roof seemed to be quite solid.....
