1979 Volvo 245 DL review from North America
"One of the best vehicles for some of the best prices"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater fan goes out on occasions and once in a while the electronic overdrive will disengage itself when traveling over 85 mph.
General comments?
I'm going to buy another soon.
