Is a 1995 Volvo 940 a good vehicle, or should I keep looking?

Recently I crashed my truck and I need a new car for cheap. A teacher at my school is offering my a 1995 Volvo 940 for 750 dollars. The only issue with the car is that is needs new brakes. The reason that the price is reduced so radically is because they believe that it would not sell for higher as their son, (the previous owner) ripped off the upholstry and padding in the cieling. This is a relatively easy fix. Is it worth it to buy this vehicle?

      An oe kit if car over first head liner kits are available but good upholstery shop can make new.
      An oe kit if car is basically sound and has seen proper maintenance it could be have your families mechanic look the suspension and install it could be have your families mechanic look the car over first head liner kits are available but.
      For for for the suspension and install it will go just about forever with some aftermarket upgrades for less than an oe kit if nonturbo model].
