    Default Looking into RWD Volvo Wagons....

    And the 960 looks to be a VERY nice car. Anybody have any info on them, or things to look out for before buying? I LOVE the simple layout of the engine bay, looks like it's going to be incredibly easy to work on.

    FYI, this is for a bone-stock DD. 0 mods. I have a track car (E36 BMW) to play with.

    Thanks!!

    I had a V90, and a few 940 turbo wagons......they are great cars, much more dependable than the FWD/AWD's.

    best way to get it. Those cars are prone to snappin t-belts and trashin valves. This way, you have an excuse to change the t-belt while the head is off.

    not a bad car. The early models had issues with porous block. They're very smooth and reliable. I've got an 850 wagon right now, but after some experiences with the fwd drive train, I may be looking into a 960 myself.
    My car is factory....



    Every single performance part and or modification it has was made in a factory somewhere.
