This is a risk that you take with any used car, whatever the price; at £600 there should at least be minimal depreciation. Given a reasonable service history and a good pre-purchase inspection, I think it is probably worth the risk. Premium, expensive when new, cars tend in general to be better looked after than cheap economy ones, so a £600 Volvo, in relative terms, is likely to prove a much better buy than a similarly priced Corsa, for example.

I got my 940 for free but it only had 124k on it and i paid £375 for my V70 with 122k. Apart from normal things like brakes and exhausts etc they have been fine.

I'm saying I would be slighty more wary of a 960 with nearly 350k on it.
