1987 Volvo 240 DL (DeLux) review from North America
"Reliable, Classy, Nice to the wallet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been a dream. Nothing wrong to this date just put gas in the sucker and change the oil when needed about every 2700 miles.
General comments?
Older engines in general loose compression and power all together. This Volvo 240 DL was purchased for 1600.00 dropped from 2900.00 (I'm a good negotiator). This engine is in great running condition and purrs like a kitten. 180,000 miles and still going strong. Comfortable for long trips. Reliable for that reason too. Looks, Runs and makes me feel great about Volvo period. Will probably buy Volvo till the bitter end.
