1989 Volvo 240 DL review from North America
"What a wonderfully reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Burned out bulb in rear turn signal, clock and radio not working.
General comments?
I bought this car my short commute to work, for $900. It has had a long life, but still starts first attempt every morning, even here in the Philadelphia winter. Seats are comfortable (seat heaters still toasty!). At over 200K this Volvo still has lots of life left.
