My wife is on her 3rd Volvo starting with a 70's 164 followed by an 83 240 and now a 89 740. I have a habit of buying factory service manuals with every car that I buy. In some instances I will pick up a Chilton's or a Haynes as a supplement. So as we go through winter here in the north east I am going through some clean up. As it would be I have found my factory set for the 1983 Volvo 240. I don't recall if it is complete but there are 3 binders of factory shop manuals covering all of the areas I had been concerned about. I will sell the set for $75 plus shipping if anyone is interested. If not I'll most likely put them on ebay. Sent me a PM if interested . Here is a picture of what I have and they are in very good condition.

 

The factory manuals are absolute gold for serious DIY'rs! Be sure to list these in the forum's classifieds if you haven't already. Also, I'd think these might do well on Swedespeed or Turbobricks.

 

If you still have them, please call herman 3342206603.
Thanks

 

I have 3 , 3 ring factory binders with the following manuals inside. Each "section" is a book and was intended for service technicians. This is not a complete set but was all of the manuals that I assumed I would have needed when I purchased our 1983 240DL . As I mentioned I'll take $75 + shipping for the set.
