I have never owned a 740/940 volvo, but I have been told that it is pretty eash to check the turbo shaft play on themk, wich I would have done. The turbos are really pretty good with these cars, but they will wear out in enough miles and will wear sooner with cheap oil/ extended oil change intervals. I would not be scared of that, but it is something to keep in mind. I think that you are on the right track. As I have said, I have owed a number of 240s, but would not heisitate to own a 7/9 series and they have the advantage of being a few years newer then the 240s, so one could find a nice example with less effort.
