1982 Volvo 240 GL review from North America
"If I don't have to get rid if it, I never will, I love this car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The a/c blower motor tends to make a little noise and doesn't blow as hard now (not fixing it.. still works).
The muffler has cracked and is hanging a little bit (not fixing it either... still works).
Lift gate no longer opens. I think this is my fault because I slammed it shut with the lock engaged.
General comments?
This is by far the best car I have ever owned.
The miles were high, but the price was right, and this car has far exceeded my expectations.
Very reliable, comfortable, and safe.
I love this car!
