I've always loved Volvos, owned a 960, which was a great car, but it does not even compare to my 240 DL. The car is a tank. I feel very safe driving it around town and on the highway. The fuel economy is decent, although I did manage to get around 28 MPG when driving steady 55 MPH on the highway. The car is very simple to maintain and you will not get charged extra just because it is an import. I love the car's design, which really sets it apart from other vehicles. Because the car is so roomy, and has great visibility it has become an all time favorite of Hollywood (there is a bunch of movies in which the car is featured..Bridge to Tarabitha being one of them)..If you get a chance get one..

I joked with the salesman that he shouldn't sharpen his pencil too much because he wouldn't see me again in two or three years. Twelve years later we're still driving a reliable, clean, rust-free car. In some ways I wish it would show some sign of falling apart so I could justify something...anything...new! But it seems to steadfastly refuse to age.

My Volvo has run perfectly for almost 13 years. Since the warranty expired I spend an average of $400 annually for maintenance and repairs. Good mechanics are hard to find. But I spend less annually on repairs than my father does with his much newer Chrysler. Avoid power features if you can. The power windows are getting slower and slower and the central locks and cruise control had to be repared last year. The body and original paint are still in awesome shape, most of my friends can't believe that this car is 13 years old.
I love these cars

This is the fourth 240 I've owned and the first wagon. I love the car. It's comfortable, safe, reliable and it drives well. I got this one from a doctor that owned since it was new and he had the engine replaced in June of 2008. The reason I bought it was because the engine he had put in came from another 240 and had only 31k miles on it (certified). When I picked it up he had put 8k on it, so it's a 1991 240 wagon with a 240 engine that has only 39k miles on it. I'll be driving it 20 years from now. I also have an all wheel drive 2002 Passat that I use when it snows heavily, but when I have a choice I choose to drive my 240.
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.
