The first rule of car club is you list the f'ing mileage.

That looks nice. Some day I'll have one of these
In reply to spitfirebill :
These always break their odometers, so why bother.
Can confirm. Odometer broke in my 1990 Volvo 740 T wagon. These things are great. If mine had been in better shape I might still have it.

Good to know. My Nissan truck went to 342k miles before it broke.

The Volvo odometers typically break around 180k.
That is a solid deal. Miles pretty much don't matter. Those front seats look like high they have about 180k worth of use in them.
93 is the last year with a big glovebox. Also rear side glass antenna, less likely to stop working. That car was loaded, heated seats = locking diff. Can't tell if it's got a sunroof, but it honestly otherwise looks pretty clean. Wish it were closer.
Are these the Volvo that has the PITA AC in dash repair?
Nice. The boxiest and brownest of boxy brown cars :)

No, you’re thinking of the 850/s/v/70 series. Though a heater core/evap isn’t a blast on any of these cars. They pretty much built them around the hvac modules. Though, a 7/940 is much better than a 240 in that regard.
I had a 850 wagon for a bit. Only 185,000 on the clock. Minimal rust, considering it was in FL for several years. Way cool car. Sold when I realized I'd much rather have a 7/940, to swap a V8 into. Paid $800, drove for 6 months, spending about $300 fixing small stuff... wow, my labor is pretty cheap! Prolly never get a swap done to one, but maybe one day.
