My aunt has 1994 Volvo Station Wagon(not sure of the model). She bought it used and uses it to get back and forth from the horse farm she goes to and my uncle uses it to get his surfboard to the beach. Both places are no that far from their house.
The car will have over 200,000 miles as far as I know, but the car is in great shape, just a few dings and dents on the exterior thats all.
Do you think that it will make a good car to get to and from college about an hour away. I live in NJ by the way.
It should be 4-door, 4-cyls, not sporty. I would prefer Honda or Toyota… First time drivers usually have much more expensive car insurance, and it depends from car. You should compare insurance rates while choosing the car – for example here – carinsurance.deep-ice.com
All depends on how well kept the car was. Was the car well maintained, as in was the oil changed every few thousand miles. Volvo’s are pretty reliable vehicles, but having over 200,000 miles is pushing it. My sister has a 98 Toyota Corolla with 196k miles and it’s in the process of dying, and Toyota has a very reliable reputation. I, personally, would drive it until it dies or until I have enough to buy another car, if the Volvo’s free.
