My Volvo is a 1985, and it looks better than some eight years older. As of my writing, the odometer reads 250,026. The only maintenance has been a new radiator (common due to the plastic factory radiator), master cylinder, and AC conversion last summer, also throw in a couple of brake shoes and batteries. If this one lasts me 50,000 more miles, I think I will have gotten my money's worth.

I LOVE MY 240DL

I bought my car back in '98 off the recommendation of my father who had just bought another used 240 himself a few months back. Its boxey and not really great on leg room for a tall guy like me, but its such an awesome car. No major repairs since I've had the car. I love it so much. I take it to a private mechanic who used to work for a volvo dealer before he opened his own shop, so the car is so well maintained. I'm looking for another used car, and its going to be a volvo. My dad just bought a used 92 940 GL and I'm probably going for the same. I keeping my 240 though...even at 208000 miles, it runs way better than alot of newer cars on the road today.

Wonderful cars. It's a shame Volvo had brain lock and quit making the model. Reliable and sturdy.

Favorite car ever

This is my favorite car ever. It's closing in on 300,000 miles and shows no signs of quitting. The paint (black) is incredibly durable; still shiny after 15 years in New England. While some argue about winter driving, I've found it outstanding as long as you fit snow tires. I maintain it "by the book" and have never had anything fail. I do most of the maintenance myself; it's very easy to work on. I like the way it performs and drives.
