1991 Volvo 940 SE Turbo

700 dollah.

Seems to run ok, needs some LCA Bushings soon. Anyone want to help sometime? It's got a teeny-tiny-incee-wincee turbocharger. It's smaller than my fist, literally. But it pulls hard enough, is very very comfortable, and has a butter smooth transmission. Everything, from the heated leather to the cruise control functions like new, and it has good inspection, good tires, and good brakes. All hail the turbo beater brick.

So that makes two turbo cars I have, then.

Ok, as you all know Im getting a bit tired of used cars and was looking to sell my Corrado.

Well... I just deposited a $3k check in the bank today and am debating what I want to do with it Tongue
I know that I have about 1k in credit card debt so that will be first to be payed off. That leaves $2k to either put on a down payment along with what Ill get from my corrado.... or $2k to start a project, not get into debt... and either sell my corrado to put some into the project and some into savings or use parts from the corrado (drivetrain since its new) in this new and upcomming project.

Pros of getting a sub 30k mile car
WARRANTY
Ease of mind about not having problems
Less things to fix initially

Cons
More expensive to fix
Ill be going right back into debt
insurance (Ill need comprehensive, not just liability)


Pros of a Rabbit with 27k on it owned by an 80 year old
Only liability for insurance
Im an MK1 god
CHEAP for everything
A certain G60 Turbo motor drops right in
good mpg
perfect condition
im not going into debt
I will have about 4k leftover after paying off credit and buying the car
its light and sexy

Cons
its not a new car


So thats where Im at right now... here are some pics of the car

It's been one of those days. First, as I'm going to get accessory belts for my car (the old ones are worn and caused my PS to hate me at Sundays Auto-X.) Go to Advanced Auto parts, don't have the belts in stock. Damn it. Decide to go to Auto Zone, and as I pull up to the store my alternator light comes on (had also flickered 2 times during previous week). Only happening at low RPMS, when I rev the engine it goes away. Damn it. So while I'm at Auto Zone, I get them to check my alternator. Checks out OK. Got the belts I needed and left the store (one lucky find of the day, not an item that is usually stocked) Start car up again, alt light turning off and on randomly. Drive to Advanced Auto Parts to get a second opinion. Alt still checks out OK. Go home, read about subject on SHOForum, come to the conclusion that the voltage regulator in the alternator is on the fritz. Call Advanced Auto parts to order a new alternator, a $165 part + 65 core Cry . Give my credit card number to order (don't want to drive around and kill my battery) - declined. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Check my card balance online, should have money to spare. Decide just to go to the store and handle it in person, battery light on the entire ride. Get to store, card still declined. Call up credit card company, find that an $150 order I had tried to place on RockAuto.com (a reputable parts dealer) had been charged 3 times to my card. Very pissed now :x . Went to ATM, got money from 2nd ATM card, ordered alternator. Get into car, leave parking lot, alternator light turns off. Worried that I just ordered a $165 part that I don't need, I decide to drive my car around a little bit. Coming to a stop, I hear my right rear brake making grinding / screeching noises. About to cry at this point. Pull over, look at rotor - the disc of the rotor broke off from its center spindle and is all messed up. Curse, drive home w/ engine braking. Now I need to buy a new rotor when I go to pick up the alternator tomorrow morning. Just decided I'd share my awesome day w/ everyone.
