1994 Volvo 940 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Good choice for a cheap, reliable family car. It's like driving a mini-tank and its longer than you realize when you look for parking. Parts can be hard to find. Overall an excellent value if you want something cheap and reliable.

The 940 is a great representation of Volvo's quality and safety. My brother has owned two, and this particular one is his second. He's not a performance person, so this car is great for him but bores me to death. However, I've always liked the boxy Volvos since my family's first a 1993 850 GLT we got when I was four years old, so it's kind of hard- wired! This one is kind of a clunker, but his first 940 was a tank! According to its new owner, it has almost 300,000 miles on it at this point and still runs like a champ! It survived his brutal driving style and accident-prone nature, so it has my respect!

Bought the 940 for 500 bucks. Blacked out lights, put on exhaust (can) and got new tires. Car isn't quiet but isn't that loud either. But can't really complain because for 225k the car is reliable. Not an engine light on, or anything to complain about. All around fun little sedan. Just wish it was a 5 speed.

getting the maintenance up to speed has been troublesome 200,000 miles. previous owner did not pay attention to detail, many little issues, latest , the stupid shift/ brake lockout, shifter will not go into park, last was brakes, next will be oil leakage ( probably the cam seal), then will follow the timing belt.
