/o/, give me a rundown on Volvos. I'm talking 90's and 00's models, none of the new stuff. The look pretty luxurious and seemed to be priced very attractively. Are they reliable and would you recommend? I'm particularly interested in the s60 and wagons.

I am also curious. I'm planning on making a turbo brick 940 over here in Seattle. I've been reading online and for $500 you can get 200+hp and for double about 350 easy.
Apparently the early 90s model 940 and 960s have the strongest engine but I also hear that the newer s60 and 70 models are very reliable and cheap.
Turbo bricks is a good forum for research, that's what I've been reading.

The 940's are actually real nice to wrench on. Having a proper lift or pit will help you with some of the things you need to do, though. (Changing oil on the gearbox and diff, replacing the fuel filter) If you treat them moderately well, they can be pretty forgiving cars. They have decent torque and comfort when you use them as daily drivers. I can definetely recommend them if you want a rwd alternative to an 850.
I own a -01 V40 with the "big" engine.
What I can tell you about Volvos from this era is that they are still pretty easy to wrench on (I replaced my radiator beam in about 4 hours and I am complete noob). Mechanically solid, still tank -ish in the build and with godlike seats. They are however all wrong wheel drive and are generally not very exiting. And the mileage is bad on the turbos
What could be the reason its on the same trailer as a totaled Chrysler 300 and Mercedes w124
Looks like it was broken into. I see the cops were dusting for fingerprints.
So maybe it was joyridden and the frame is wrecked. Who knows.
Because they often ship cars from multiple customers on the same trailer. However, shipping a car like that in anything but an enclosed trailer is dumb as shit. Hope he likes rock chips and fluid dripping from cars above it.

Solid, reliable car. Though I heard it's a gas guzzler. Yay.

Literally a camry with leather. The only real Lexus's are is, gs, and ls.
My friend is thinking about either getting the bmw x5 or the porsche macan soon, which is a better squad vehicle (his parents are buying it for him)

wtf just buy a damn volvo if you just want a box to travel in. Why do you want bih 4x4?
Any ~2012 Genesis owners here? Both the coupe and sedan seem interesting enough, but they are very different. How do they compare in terms of performance and handling? I like the looks of the sedan and the comfort but don't feel like driving a land boat.
They are two different vehicles.
Buy a mustang instead ok?
>>15366089
