January 30 2011 First day as a Volvo owner WOO HOO!!
Hey!! This is a total first for me!! My first day as a Volvo owner and first day on this site here. I hope that it will be an enjoyable experience.
I've always wanted a Volvo wagon. Well, today I purchaced a 1987 240 DL wagon. It has some issues to be repaired, such as a ball joint on the drivers side and it needs shocks. It shimmies about like it may need a front end alignment. I truely think that fixing the ball joint (it's really that bad) and have an alignment done should fix that. This car has 210,000 miles on it and runs like a dream. It's a five speed. The clutch and transmission feels great. Although, it also needs bushings new bushings in the shifter. There's alot of play and finding gears is a blast. I'm happy that I went ahead and made the purchase that I made today. I found this forum doing some research online. I look forward to talking with people on here as I'm sure it will be informative and fun.
To whom ever put this forum together, thank-you.
I hope all is well with each and everyone of you here.
