"low milleage"
"I have 89K on a 93 960 - very special car to me. It is driven every day now and I could live in it. I am particial to this year's style and how it now stands out - I get a lot of comments on this well kept "old" car."
"This car is Bulletproof"
"I purchased this wagon with nearly 250k miles for $1,200 in Jan.2017. It has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. The drivetrain is still smooth & quiet, no rattles or knocking. It still delivers about 20mpg/City 27mpg/HWY. This example is fully optioned and the only items not working after 21 years are the moonroof and 1of the seat heaters. The clear coat is failing but I won’t be respraying it. It’s my 1st Volvo but will not be my last, I plan to buy a 4WD wagon or SUV model as the 960 is not great in the snow."
