Buying a Volvo 960 off Ebay sight unseen

Post by 1bigklutz »

So this is probably a very dumb idea on my behalf, but im willing to take a risk

My mom refuses to return my 95 850 and I miss her terribly..So on a hunt for something else, i found a 1995 Volvo 960 with 38K in Virginia with what appears to be good records, timing belt done and everything in order

Is there anything i should ask or maybe the owner is on here???

I am willing to risk it being a clunker.. Its $4200 right now and I feel i can dump her 2003 Civic EX for that and be ok.. She hates the Civic with a passion and I want Ruby back...

I am going to be up a while reading through the forums to see what breaks and what i need to look out for... My mom drives maybe 5K a year so I feel this will be a solid car for her and being the 960, i think she will like the RWD better.. IF not, I guess I am getting a 960 and my mom is getting a 95 non turbo 850 with 90k

Any feed back is apperciated... I know im jumping in with both feet here... Gotta take a few chances in life
