Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1996 Volvo 940 Classic Estate High Pressure Turbo is a rare, well-maintained example with a unique Aconite metallic paint finish and no sunroof. While it lacks service history, the car shows well with a tidy engine bay, well-preserved interior, and new rear tires, suggesting it's a rewarding find for Volvo enthusiasts.
Condition
6
Based on the seller's assessment, the car presents well and drives well, but it is not in concours condition. The exterior and interior have some wear, and the car history file is minimal. Therefore, a rating of "Good" seems appropriate.
