Volvo Repair: Buying Used 1992 Volvo 940gl, condition leather seats, great car
QuestionHi - I'm looking at a 1992 940gl that has just over 200,000 miles on it. All items are working - I drove it and it seemed pretty solid. The person I'm buying it from has had a good volvo mechanic (that I know) check it out and updated all the basic items. The body and interior are in nice condition - leather seats, power windows, etc. The bumpers have discoloration though. The price is around $2800 - does that seem high considering the mileage? I've heard 940s can last a long time. I was thinking of offering close to $2000 or just under. Mostly need it as a basic car to drive to work. Are there specific items to check out/watch for when looking at buying this particular model/year with this much mileage? Thanks for any suggestions.
AnswerJeff, remember 1 thing first. Mileage is Nothing for a Volvo. The higher the mileage the better. 200k is just warming up. Its still new. I would offer $2500. That is a great car. Nothing specific. Just make sure timing belt was done at the 200k service. Everything else is just normal wear and tear. Roger
