Sure she's slow to speed up, but once she's at or above 55 she flies with the best of 'em. I have 250,000 miles on my '91 240 and will probably put another 250,000 on it. Never left me stranded, still getting 25 mpg and this old girl is holding up with the garbage streets of New York. The paint still shines like it just came out of the dealership. Added a hitch, will drag a trailer with no problems. I don't believe there has ever been a tank built to match the 240. Way to go Swedes!

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.

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.
