We just purchased this car last week, and we're loving it! We also have a 1988 wagon, and have owned it for 13 years (356,000 miles). There is nothing like a Volvo wagon, I have hauled 150 lbs of dog food, plants and flowers for the yard, a week's worth of groceries, and two kids, all in one trip. The maintenance costs have averaged about $50 per month. We have it checked every year, nothing major has ever gone wrong, just normal maintenance stuff. If you take care of it, it will take care of you. Turns on a dime, feels like a tank. Highway mileage is about 26 MPG. The 1990 version is almost identical, we're looking forward to a long and happy life with it!

A very reliable car that's easy to work on and has plenty of room to cart stuff back and forth from college.
Best Wagon ever built!

We have cared and loved this wagon as much as it has loved and cared for us for over 10 years. Bought nused two years young, it has traversed the East Coast a few times and has done it like the champ it is. If that model had ABS nothing - save for a complete breakdown of the vehicle - could ever make us get another car. It still has lots of life left in it. No parent would ever do wrong getting a 240 DL wagon - regardless of age and miles on the car - for a college-bound offspring. Maintenance is costly if done at the dealer, but there are plenty detailed 'how-to' manuals for the mechanically savvy do-it-yourself enthusiast.

I bought my first 240 in 1998, a '93 manual 5 speed Wagon. Previously I had driven other cars and wagons including Funeral Coaches and Limos. The ride from the Volvo wagon was superior to those other long jobs! Incredible comfort and a joy to drive, even as a stick shift. I still love it and won't part with it because it is the best vehicle I have ever owned! Recently I bought an '89 Sedan on Ebay for $400.00! It still looks new! Same with the wagon, I really don't want to part with it. If you get a chance to buy one, do so! '88-93 are the best models. The reviews here are all TRUE! Why did Volvo stop? Who knows! The wagon still gives a better ride than the sedan in my opinion.
Such a classic!

We bought our second Volvo wagon with 160K miles on it from its original owner. It's currently at 238K miles and shows no signs of quitting. Very impressive given that we've not changed the oil but every 10K miles!! Aside from wear items all we've had fail was a fuel relay that was $14 from FP Groton. I sure wish they continued making these. By the time ours quits finding a low mileage replacement will be hard.
