Today we bring you a '90s Swede. Hit the jump to see this 1992 Volvo 940 GL sedan.

The seller claims to have purchased it new and says the car has been a California car all its life. There's no rust and its been garaged.

This ride has a mileage is 201K.

The A/C works (it's 134), the seats are leather, and the car is original save for the sway bars, legal window tint, undercoating, and a pin stripe.

According to our seller, the brakes, struts, radiator, water pump, and timing belt are new. The only issues appear to involve the speedo and temp gauge. The seller says the car has run Mobil 1 oil.

You can pick up this Volvo for $3,700.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

A little high, but if everything checks and no leaks. I would offer 3K and if need be split the difference

That's a screaming buy, even if a tad high. I'll be in my 244 more by the time its all sorted (whenever that is...) and this likely won't need any bodywork. The erratic speedo is 100% an electrical short, whatever coolant gauge issue is going on is likely the same (worst case, weird coolant troubleshooting which is no biggie because Redblock isn't going to blow a HG even if its been overheated). Timing belt is the $64,000 question but the seller seems to have a clue so risk is lessened and its cheaper to do on RWDs than the FWDs.

3-On-The-Tree My 2009 C6 corvette in black looks great when it’s all washed and waxed but after driving down my 1.3 mile long dirt road it’s a dust magnet. I like white because dust doesn’t how up easily. Both my current 2021 Tundra and previous 2014 Ford F-150 3.5L Ecobomb are white

Luke42 When will they release a Gladiator 4xe?I don’t care what color it is, but I do care about being able to plug it in.
Bd2 As I have posited here numerous times; the Hyundai Pony Coupe of 1974 was the most influential sports and, later on, supercar template. This Toyota is a prime example of Hyundai's primal influence upon the design industry. Just look at the years, 1976 > 1974, so the numbers bear Hyundai out and this Toyota is the copy.
MaintenanceCosts Two of my four cars currently have tires that have remaining tread life but 2017 date codes. Time for a tire-stravaganza pretty soon.
