1989 Volvo 240 DL review from North America
"A reliable car that feels like a tank:)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed new brake pads, gasket went on the engine (where you pour the oil into) AC dosen't work anymore.
The only problem I have with my volvo is that in the damp weather the car hesitates and will stall for the first 10 - 15.
General comments?
Great Car. This thing is a tank. I got into a accident, somebody pulled a you turn in front of me and I couldn't stop. I hit him dead on. the only damage that I had was I broke my passenger side turning light glass. The bulbs were still intact and working.
This Car just loves to be driven it keeps asking for more.
