[quote=Anonymous]Four years ago, my mom gifted us her 1994 Volvo 940 sedan, which she had taken immaculate care of for years. My teenage son used it occasionally for about a year, and then my teenage daughter really made good use of it from 2023-2024 to commute between home/school/work. She treated it with loving care and was sad to give it up. I always felt good knowing she was driving a "tank," despite it being an older vehicle. The car has been in no accidents, has virtually no external marks (despite being white) and just has minor interior wear & tear. From a mechanical perspective, it has 125K miles on it; got new tires in Dec. 2022; and recently got new rear brake pads/rotors and two new alternators & A/C belts. The original timing belt is still intact. The seats are incredibly comfortable.

Part of me would love to find another local family/teen that needs a short-term starter vehicle, but I'm wondering if it's not of interest due to its age and potential for future mechanical problems. I otherwise might consider donating it to one of FCPS' academies.

Any thoughts?[/quote]
