1992 Volvo 960 sedan review from North America
"Dollar for dollar, a used 960 is an outstanding value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radio antennae belt failed at 106,000 miles.
Park/neutral switch replaced at 122,000 miles.
Passenger side seat belt receiver replaced at 128,000 miles.
Water pump had total failure at 129,000 miles.
Brakes pads have short life cycle.
General comments?
Features and performance similar to my E320 but with less "over engineering".
Coachwork, seats, drive-train built to last.
Interior door panels and console are cheap appearing plastic.
Have had no problem with sun roof, power windows and seats, or instrumentation.
Comfortable and sure feeling on the road.
