We are hosting an eBay auction, here is the listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/185518248480

Our family is ready to let go of our beloved “Grey Goose”- a well maintained and rarely used 1986 Volvo 240 DL 4-Speed + Overdrive Wagon with approximately 180,000 miles (exact mileage unknown), a leather interior, and title in hand. It features the original B230F red block 2.3 Liter Quad Cylinder Engine. The manual transmission and the overdrive gear still works great! We also just had an oil change last week.

This has been a wonderful second vehicle that we have cared for these past 15 years! We used it for some errands on the weekends but it was rarely used. We bought it with a clean title from the original owner, an older gentleman that kept the car garaged and wasn’t used much. It had a working odometer when we bought it but it broke at 160,701 miles a few years ago. I can't imagine we put more than 20,000 miles on it after that point.

The car is in excellent mechanical condition. And it’s fun to drive! Well-suspended and built like a tank. The manual transmission is very hard to find in this vehicle and makes the car super responsive. The car headliner looks pristine, which is uncommon for how old the car is. The body is in great shape overall but does have a couple of surface rust spots. The frame and undercarriage are free of corrosion. Overall the car does have some areas of cosmetic wear but is looking much better than average for a 36-year-old car. (See photos) Some TLC would make it shine.. 

Here is some new replacements under the hood (with mechanic documentation):

Complete set of spin-balanced tires
Car Battery with cables
Water Pump
Front Break Hoses
Fuel Pump Relay
Power steering reservoir
Alternator and oil pressure wires

This wagon has some features that are not working as of right now:

Rear Windshield Washer
Left turn signal indicator light on instrument panel remains on at all times (however it blinks when signaling)
Air conditioning blows warm (Heat works beautifully!)
Broken Wagon liftgate support- this is a very inexpensive $16 part to replace:

We live in North Tacoma, Washington, which is 45 minutes away from Seattle. It is bittersweet that we are ready to give the “Grey Goose” a new home; we hope you will treasure it as much as we have.

Thanks so much!
