I really love my 240! You can drive a 240 comfortably at 80mph. I installed a cam shaft from IPD USA and the engine gained 15HP. Volvos are legendary for winter driving. The 240 is a very stable car because its weight is split 50/50 front/rear. As for parts, find a scrap yard, you can get parts really cheap there. You won't loose any time disassembling parts unlike many modern cars you have room! As for Volvo dealers, don't go there for maintenance, they will rip you off! As for rust, VERY IMPORTANT check for water infiltrations on the seal joint around the dash! Use Synthetic oil and you'll be good for a million miles! Dju

My 240 DL is actually an 88 but that was not an option on the list. When I bought it at 300k I was highly concerned. I paid 400bucks and popped on a new headgasket. I was 18 and had no car experience, it was easy. This car was made to be worked on. It kept driving for months until the brutal winter where it needed a new coil and battery. I spent about 200bucks in parts. Making it a grand total of a 600dollar car. It has no dents, so very comfortably, and once you get it up to 40 or 50 - it speeds with ease. It has hardly ever let me down and most times it was my own fault for not double checking my very cheap, unbelievably awesome deal. My father loved my own volvo so much that he wanted it.

This wagon has been in my family since I was a very young girl. When I turned 16, my mother passed it down to me and I have loved my Volvo ever since. It has taken not one, not two, but three cross country trips from texas. I have never had a single problem with her, other than issues caused from my lack of attention to her. A good way to ensure the A/C works great is to make sure the coolant is always full. My first year driving I spun her out of control and into a ditch. The result? Nothing but a dented license plate. I highly recommend a 240 DL wagon.

Long lasting! Mine's at 260000. I am a heavily-equiped carpenter and this car carries more than most trucks. I use Thule gutter-mounted removable racks that allow me to put just about anything on the top-- hundreds of pounds. And hundreds of pounds of tools inside and still get over 20 mpg. Bought a newer Econoline to give the Volvo a rest but regret that the big Ford even w/ a smaller than average V6 only gets 15 mpg with the same load. And the Volvo goes faster and looks nice. Expect some rust and small fix ups at this age. Still keeping it for personal use and longer trips.
Great car

I purchased this wagon with 225k miles on the odometer to move from Iowa to Alaska in 2005. Did most of the work myself to prep the car for the trip, and made the trip, pulling a full trailer, without problem. Currently at 256k miles. Great in winter with good snow tires, huge hauling capacity, all right gas mileage with an automatic (thinking about swapping in a manual) 20-22 around town, 25-29 highway. As mentioned elsewhere, easy to work on, built to last, safe, handles well with turbo sway bars. Interior plastic getting fragile with age, but the car is moving in on being 20 years old. All things considered, a fantastic car.
