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.

Freddie Remember those ads that say "Call your doctor if you still have...after four hours"?You don't need to call your doctor, just get behind the wheel of a CUV. In fact, just look at one.I'm a car guy with finite resources; I can't afford a practical car during the week plus a fun car on the weekend. My solution is my Honda Civic Si 4 door sedan. Maybe yours is a Dodge Charger (a lot of new Chargers are still on dealer lots).
Daniel J Interesting in that we have several weeks where the temperature stays below 45 but all weather tires can't be found in a shop anywhere. I guess all seasons are "good enough".
Steve Biro For all the talk about sedans vs CUVs and SUVs, I simply can’t bring myself to buy any modern vehicle. And I know it’s only going to get worse.
Stephen Never had such a problem with my Toyota products.
Vulpine My first pickup truck was a Mitsubishi Sport... able to out-accelerate the French Fuego turbo by Renault at the time. I really liked the brand back then because they built a model for every type of driver, including the rather famous 300/3000GT AWD sports car (a car I really wanted, but couldn't afford.)
