1986 Volvo 240 DL review from North America
"Rust bucket, but reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter went around 275,000 miles, replaced the distributor cap around.
The same mileage along with the spark plug wires. general things like oil.
And filters... all in all a reliable solid car... oh kind of a rust problem as.
Well.
