1985 Volvo 240 GL review from North America
"Excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to change lower front seal.
I had to change the odd fuses.
I had to change the Muffler.
I had to buy new tires.
I had to change oil.
General comments?
My beautiful well maintained Volvo 240 gl had treated me well and I am confident it will go another 200 thousand Km with only minor up keep of the vehicle. I just recently drove out to the west coast of British Columbia Canada and put on 10 thousand Km within a month and had no troubles, but rather hard climbing certain long stretch of highway mountains. I am currently just now having fuel pump problems and I am very skeptical to replace it because all it may needs is a cleaning up on the contacts.Nevertheless, my Volvo had not giving me any stress. Now, I am debating if I should sell my almost mint Volvo to someone else to enjoy!
