I'm considering going all old volvo for our family fleet, which is presently a 2006 Toyota Avensis Verso and a 1990 Volvo 240GL saloon. The 240 was neglected by the previous owner, but I've done a fair amount of work and preventive maintenance on it, and it gets me to work and back with no dramas. I'm considering replacing the Toyota with a 240, 740 or 940 estate. The Toyota does 10-12000 miles annually. My question is, am I nuts to do this? Will an early to mid 1990s volvo be anything like as reliable as the Toyota in say the next 5 to 7 years driving? Any pearls of wisdom would be much appreciated.
