    My neighbor has always had Volvos, for the last 15 years. If you were going to buy a used Volvo, say in the 90-94 model year range, which one would you choose? Why? Are there ones like certain BMW's to avoid? We're talking sedan type.

    Default No doubt in my mind at all, 740 turbo sedan or wagon, best one that

    Volvo ever made. Feels much bigger and more comfortable than the 240's and its rear wheel drive with a bulletproof motor and turbo. Mileage and power and reliability... Only thing bad about it is the crappy front and rear main seals and the cheesy door panels that break, head liners that fall down just like bmw. A number of little details , mostly minor things... My least favorite volvo's are the newer front wheel drive ones.. I'm sure that Winfred can chime in about the problems that plague 850's besides the evaporator core from hell... But i'd have a good 740 turbo in a second.. love the seats, Great A/C even in arizona..

    You should get a 740 turbo if you consider a used volvo. Probably the best one they've ever made...
