1990 Volvo 240 DL review from North America
"This car is a dream!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Overheated frequently, had the radiator flushed and now it never overheats.
Needed new brakes (paid for by the seller).
Needed new belts. Will replace the timing belt next month.
General comments?
I drove past this car every day on my way to work. I had dreams about this car! Finally one day after doing a title search and history on it... it was gone from the dealers lot! I frantically called the dealer, it was getting detailed. I bought it the next day.
My family has had numerous Volvos, the most attractive feature for me is the safety of this car. It's black with a tan interior, is beautiful and I feel good putting my 2 little boys in it.
