1985 Volvo 240 GL review from North America
"The best car in the family aside from my brothers Camaro"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car was sitting in a drive way in Washington state for a little over a year. My dad went back up to get and got it checked. There was steering fluid leaking and the wipers did not work. This car is the best car we have had it got my dad back for Wash. to Florida even with those problems.
Now that it is home it has been sitting in the garage for a good 3 years which makes me sad... I went out there one day a looked at it the windows, clutch, trunk, lights, engine, and the AC plus the other stuff that was wrong with it.
I am glad to say my dad and I finally got a jump on it and got the windows, trunk, lights, engine, and AC all working great.
We know have all the parts to finish fixing it and I do look forward to driving it.
