"A cozy engine, comfortable seats, smooth suspension, excellent all-around visibility, and a tight turning circle make this large car easy to maneuver and simple to position."

"A cozy engine, comfortable seats, smooth suspension, excellent all-around visibility, and a tight turning circle make this large car easy to maneuver and simple to position."

Description

It was originally delivered to its first owner in Perstorp by Volvo dealer Skånebil in Ängelholm in October 1996. The owner used the car for over 27 years, occasionally lending it to his daughter and granddaughter. The current owner, his grandchild, has now decided to sell the car—with granddad’s full blessing, of course.

It has been serviced according to schedule and service book, most recently in June 2022 at 96,830 km. The next service, now due according to the book, will be for the new owner to take care of. The most recent approved inspection was carried out on February 19, 2024.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts easily, feels lively in both engine and gearbox, and the brakes are solid. It’s fitted with older Pirelli tires that still have good tread, mounted on nice original wheels. A set of winter wheels is also included if the buyer wants them.

  • Interior condition:

    Stylish leather interior with minor entry wear on the driver's seat and an exposed piping seam. The wood trim is in nice condition, while the upper parts of the door panels show the typical shrinkage and wrinkling in the vinyl, common to the 740/940/960 series. This issue stems from a mid-90s change in adhesive by the door panel supplier, who switched to a more environmentally friendly glue—leading to this well-known flaw. There are plenty of discussions on enthusiast forums about both the issue and potential fixes.

    The headliner is in good shape, and the plastic floor mats show some discoloration. A set of original textile mats would really enhance the overall look.

  • Exterior condition:

    Good paint and bodywork overall, with a few scratches—mainly on the bumpers, especially the right rear. There’s also a minor dent on the front left fender, likely caused by a small knock, which should be an easy fix for a skilled paintless dent repair specialist. There’s also a small ding on the right rear fender edge.

  • General condition:

    A low-mileage example in overall good condition, with just a few minor fixes needed. Take care of the dents, the scratches, the driver’s seat, the door panels, and swap in a set of textile floor mats—and you’ll have yourself a very charming 960 2.5 with a manual gearbox, finished in an especially attractive color.

Facts about the model

The 960 was introduced as the natural successor to the 760 and served as Volvo’s flagship model in its various versions. For its time, the 960 offered a high level of safety, featuring driver and passenger airbags, ABS, and traction control.

In 1995, it received a facelift that brought several updates—both exterior and interior—which have since become well-regarded among enthusiasts. Production of the 960 (rebranded as the S/V90 in its final year) ended in 1998, when it was succeeded by the Volvo S80.
