Just picked up a 1987Volvo 240 DL which is now my daily driver. Love it so far, really is unlike everything ive owned which i think is the most appealing thing about it. So much for the intro!

Cheers!

Greetings to all! My name is Dave and I recently purchased a 1987 240DL as well. I call him Pepe. Pepe has quite a laundry list of issues, but as with any Volvo I hope to get them ironed out in short order at reasonable cost. I previously owned a 1979 245 and I did quite a variety of repairs and consequently gained a lot of respect for the engineering behind these great vehicles. Here are a few photos for your viewing pleasure. The hood is open because it keeps draining my battery and it's being charged. Just one of Pepe's problems... Front
Engine compartment. Charging the battery
Passenger side
Interior. Not too bad
Passenger side rear. Notice the little bit of rust and missing trim. Obligatory SOTB sticker
