    I would buy many of them too, especially Volvo 740 because to me the whole shape of the car is something that isn't seen in the newer cars anymore and propably will never be, nowadays every car is so rounded and harder to work on while volvos are more like moving bricks that don't break and very easy to work on

    The "alarm" sounds are probably just the Sony Headunit you have there, almost every Sony headunit does that sound after you put the ingition on off position

    We from Scandinavia are jealous because you guys in America and Canada have turbo, abs, aircon, electric windows, sunroof etc etc. Your new 740 turbo wagon would be rare as fuck here in Norway, Sweden, Finland.

    Journal bearing turbos need a restricter also. Turbonetics turbos are journal bearing and come with a restricter. In fact it is marked so that if you take it out the warranty is void. Lots of arguments about this. This is why so many cheap turbo end up blowing.

    Nice find, stock up while you can!
    When you find "your car" you can never really have enough of them, of course you're gonna accrue some haters like Sloppy Garage and Ford Fairmont's "Oh you're making the prices go up".
    Thing is, you're paying asking price for them, and if anyone else wants one but don't bother enough with finding one before prices go up = They didn't REALLY want a cheap one in bad condition all that much after all, did they? Why aren't they ON facebook marketplace and craigslist if they REALLY want one? Answer → Because they rather fry their brains on their TikTwit or w/e, so IMO that's on them.
    I don't think haters understand that these Volvo's require WORK to function a-ok again.
    The haters expect 500 bucks to get them a perfect missile that doesn't require any maintenance = NOT how it works, so that's why they lodge their complaints here.

      I would assume the price difference.
      Hes up on canada, so I cant really speak for them, but I'm about 100 miles from the Canadian border, and 240's and 242's are anywhere from 3-6k running and driving.

      The later the model, the more of the body is made of galvanised steel. A late 940 will hardly ever have any serious rust.
      Many people call them tanks but did you know a 940turbo is actually lighter then a BMW E34 535i !
      They are NOT heavy cars.
