Is this 240 a good buy?
$3000 for a 1988 240 4 door sedan. 160xxx miles. 5 speed. my moms friend has owned a volvo his whole life and test drovethis oneand said it will run forever...he said its just broken in.im new to volvo and i was wondering if this would be the right car for me? The only thing i dont like is the coloring style...really light blue exterior...almost a pale silver..and a mustard yellow interior...ya its ugly but clean.

I'm not sure I agree with some of the prices you all are saying you would pay for that Volvo. It's a stick, of which are hard to find and quite worthy in the long run. I think the $1700 estimate is pretty close to what that car would bring on ebay and probably worth every penny of it. That is if it's rust free and doesn't need a clutch. I had to have the clutch replaced on my 240 and it came to a whooping $750...BUT, it was original and made it to 200K miles, so in the long run I feel the sticks are worth more then the automatics. Just my opinion all.

Hi shoptown. I am curious to know if you actually got the silver blue Volvo. The reason I am writing is that 5-6 days ago I was in Sydney Nova Scotia and waiting at the light in the opposite direction was a volvo, silvery blue sort of with light mustard interior, so I thought of you. It actually was not ugly at all and looked quite elegant, in excellent shape. I tried to pull a u turn to see it better and maybe talk to the guy, but traffic and road work intervened.
Good luck with the car if you do get it.
