"A safe, reliable, practical car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing so far.

General comments?

Big, heavy, a bit sluggish, feels like an expensive vehicle, as it should.

I love the car. It's a 240 Wagon. 1993. I bit sluggish off the line, but you don't buy a 1993 wagon for pick-up. It has tons of room and is just about the safest car on the road. It's like a tank. Repairs are not cheap, that's the down side.

I purchased mine with 93k on it and now have 130k. It's running great, even after multiple repairs. I think you need to be into Volvos to appreciate the car. Certain people say to me "if I had to pick the last car on earth to buy, it would be your wagon." And then there are those that are crazy about them. I am crazy about mine. And plan on keeping it for years to come. It's a throwback car. Almost preppy on some level. It's boxy design I think even appeared dated when it came out. But that's what I love about the car. Slow, but sure.

My 245 1993 Classic is really a Classic, the designation of 1600 of the last production models. This car is really unique, so I do not expect everyone to like it, not even my wife, but it suits me well. My bicycle can lay in the back with all the wheels on just by folding the back seat forward. I wish it had side and curtain airbags and breakaway seat backs, but it still is a very safe car, passively. This one is my 4th in either the 240 or 140 series and although a little expensive on repairs, in the long run, it all evens out. Sure, I 'd like a new RAV4, but my 1993 Classic is paid for and just in middle age with 193k miles on it. My only problem is that I have 2 Volvos, a 1994 940 sedan also, so I may have to sell this one. Anybody interested?

Get Rolling!
