Perfect car as you said that mechanical skills are minimal, you won't likely find a nicer 240 anywhere let alone in your own backyard. Oh and welcome to CVC.

That car is too nice to drive.

I got the impression this was to be a summer fun car and that the S70 was still the DD? If not ignore my previous suggestion as you're right that car is way too nice for DD duty. :lol:

Seen that baby and Don't think I can just Upfront the cash like Right now. Going to school as well right now makes the budget a bit tighter

. thats why i'm interested in 240 or 740. I might sell my s70 to a friend who's willing to buy. Thing is I've got no really good experience with cars just yet. I can do an oil change myself and all the basics and i've been wikipediaing terminology etc so thats why I'm getting overwhelmed haha. like today I learnt generally what the differences in a carb and fuel injection are. Just turned 21 so I've got plenty of time to figure stuff out ;p. I'm thinking a 1983-84 turbo 242 would be nice and I'm sure I can learn to clean up rust with some sanding and such a bit easier than just bolting on turbo's etc if you get what I mean hah

If rust repair was easier than bolting on turbos, our cars would all look a lot better and you'd have more time to admire them as they drove by.

You do kinda have a point there

But by the time you or I get to be 'prime age' for volvo awesomeness, the internal combustion engine will be outlawed and cars as a whole disbanded.

See you jerks in the holomatrix, don't forget to sonic shower!

IS this a good deal you guys? The Km's might be a bit to high. says it needs exhaust work and a wiper motor.. Should I hold out over the winter and browse for a 242Turbo or 740 TIC !?

Wow, that looks pretty clean. I wouldn't be concerned about the KM's - it's usually worse if the KM's are low when they are old.

I'd be more concerned about any rust. Also, with that mileage, if no engine work has been done, there's a good chance you'll need a head rebuild- valve guides get pretty worn.

Personally I'd find a clean, high mileage newer 244 (probably for less $) and +t or engine swap.
