I'll agree, the 4cyl engine used in the 700/900 series Volvos are BULLET PROOF.
Owned a 1988 740 Turbo wagon and loved it... with some suspension tuning products from IPD it really sharpened up.

I'd go for a 1995 940 Turbo wagon with a complete history and a clean bill of health. Mileage is subjective. Condition means everything. In 1994 Volvo improved the quality of plastics and interior construction- 1994 & 1995 940 dash boards are far less likely to be cracked, the same for door panels and trim bits.
Most 940 Turbo's were specced to the same levels as 960 models- though upholstery seams, grilles, and wheels were different.

The 960 models were equipped with Turbo fours, and more commonly the ill fated $$$$I-6. 960 models were full spec cars though- the top of the line Volvo in the day. electric heated seats, sunroof, premium sound, premium leather upholstery, premium alloy wheels, etc.... they also had a different dashboard design.
