1987 Volvo 240 DL review from North America
"For the money you can't beat Volvo quality"
General comments?
I just turned 16 about a month ago and I was not expecting to get a car until I turned 17. However my Dad spotted an 87 240 for sale, and decided it would make a great first car. My family has owned Volvo's forever so it is only befitting that my first car be a Volvo.
The car handles great for its age. Fit and finish is superb. The car is in great shape with no dings or scratches on the body.
The blue (kind of odd interior color) cloth seats need to be cleaned.
It won't be the newest or the nicest car in the student parking lot next year, but for the money it's a great car (only $1,600)
