1991 Volvo 240 review from North America

Nothing yet. The heat for the driver side doesn't work and maybe it is a fuse. Other than that it is a fine car. I bought it from an elderly woman who just loved it too death. Took it into one of the best local car shops in town and had them run it through every time. I am sure she invested thousands into the car's mechanics.

Well, it still has the original stereo which is a tape cassette player. Needs to be changed out soon. The car handles well on the hwy. I needed the room as my wife and I go out of town camping, carry a boat on top, dogs in the back, and all the other stuff that needs cramming in. The amount of space is great. It turns on a dime and overall I think it is a solid ride. I can't imagine ever taking it to the dealer for work. Likely will use old parts from a local junk yard and do the work myself, or have a mechanic who is OK using old parts do it for me. I bought the car for $3800. I think it was worth it - I have seen them for much less, but this one is cherry! As well, it came over from Sweden with a GI so it has some quirks - which I like. I have owned VW's so I am use to quirks, strange unexplainable noises, etc. So, far the car is a great commuter. Don't mind that it is slow to get going - so am I! Anyhow, any advice out there about what to do to keep this car going strong - things I should focus on - please let me know. Thanks, glad to be in the 240 club.
