1981 Volvo 240 DL review from Puerto Rico
"A very dependable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/C compressor blew at 117,000 miles.
Brake discs (originals) need replacement.
Rack and pinion gear needs to be replaced.
Seats are beginning to wear.
General comments?
This car is excellent, very dependable.
It still starts the first time like it did when new.
I would definitely buy another Volvo.
