a few issues on a 240
hi,
i just went to look at a 1986 volvo 240DL. These are some of the issues it has. i think it needs brakes because they make noise and vibrate a bit. My biggest concern is that when you turn the steering wheel it makes this noise like a wine or something. I looked at the power steering fluid was low and didn't look to healthy. Do you think it would need a rack or a pump? its got a few cracks on the dash. Decent interior. there is some rust on the wheel wells bought on a little on one side. Probably a good oil spray is needed before winter.
Thats all i found so far. It took some cranking to start. He said it has been sitting for a little bit and it is rather cold today.
I don't know what do use think about it? Anything else to look for? oh and i forgot to mention that the tach doesn't work.
Any help is greatly appricated.

RE: a few issues on a 240
go ahead and buy it, its a fun car. I bought my wife a 240dl, for 1,200 with 195,000 miles.
i have had to do brakes and a couple of vaccum hoses........
i would hop in it right now and drive it to florida.
Very dependable car.
will never buy anything but a volvo , ever again.
just work out the bugs and enjoy
