1995 Volvo 940 Wagon review from North America

Cat converter at 375,000 km.

Radiator hose at around 400,000 km.

Muffler at 425,000 km.

Cat at 455,000 km.

Brake calipers at 400,000 km - Replaced original rear calipers at the time.

Front struts at 390,000 km.

Leaking rear crankshaft bearing seal - Not fixed since only a minor leak and it would cost too much to fix.

Broken exhaust manifold bolt - exhaust leak. On my to-do list.

Burnt-out driver seat connector that fried the driver seat motors - Caused by salt corrosion inside the connector at 400,000 km.

Windshield replaced at 380,000 km on account of pitting.

I bought this car from my brother who owned it from new. It is a dirty job car I use to haul stuff and take the dogs out for a walk in the country. It was purchased as a secondary car, but our other one had too much structural rust underneath and was scrapped. The Volvo has been serving as our only car for the last year.

I love the turbo. This car has strong acceleration and is a pleasure to drive. One amazing thing about this car is the tight turning radius made possible by rear drive, no drive axles in the front to limit the angle of the front wheels.

I expect it to last well past 500,000 km. (300,000 miles).

It has reached the point where it has no real market value on account of the age and mileage, but it just won't die. So I'll just keep it going until it becomes an antique and some collector offers me thousands of dollars for it.
