Congratulatione! Felicidades! Bonheur! Service the car right and it will give you another 100k....just pray we are here to see it...!

 

Woo too, it is officially broken in.

 

Congratulations and don't forget to get your badge. We are at 330,000 on our 89 740.

 

our 87 240 must be up past 400,000 miles now, but its odometer broke at 256xxx about 15 years ago.

 

My 1992 240 Wagon just hit 330,000 Miles the other day.

 

My 96 850 is running strong at 323,000.

 

my 850T wagon was worn out at 160k miles. the engine was running fine, but the chassis was getting sloppy/loose, especially the front end. even after replacing everything else (control arms, bushings, joints), the steering rack was sloppy.

 

Congrats. You can probably make it to 300K with no problem. I did and as you can see many other have too.

 

My 1993 940 turbo is hands down the best car I’ve ever owned. I bought it for $600 off a guy who sold it for money towards a Honda LOL!!!!! I have since racked up 132K miles without any major repairs. It’s not a pretty car by any means but gets me anywhere i want to go. It has taken us to Key West, Ft Myers, St Louis, Chicago, Detroit, Myrtle Beach, Austin, and many points in between. Currently working on a 92 740 turbo wagon for my girlfriend to drive daily. We will never own anything other than these cars. Hands down best engineered and toughest cars ever made. I’ll update when I hit 500K!!!!!

 

here's one offered for 1750 just 506,000 miles lol

Re: Irv Gordon & his P1800...
I was dumbfounded upon discovering this phenomenon and had to do deeper research. Friends, those drive trains were a phenom! As a brief example the crank had (not 2) but 5 main bearings! Using a little imagination it's not hard to understand - these cars were build as heirlooms.
I drove for YRC back when they were going through their now-famous money problems and chose to for-go their policy of rebuilding the engines at 1million. Yes, with routine maintenance their D13's & D15's were routinely passing the 2 & 3 mil marks. I know the diff yet how long would one run? Curious to find out the diesel record but expect V to own it.

 

The Volvo diesel used in some 240's was a VW engine extended to 6 cylinders, and basically pretty awful. Sweden is too far north for diesel to be very practical. I'm not sure I've seen ANY surviving 240 diesels around here, and I live in Volvo-land where there's still 100s of 240s, 740s, 940s running around daily.

 

There is a 240 Diesel for sale in Portland, OR right now... Comes with a ton of extra parts.

 

Portland is probably the one place that has more old Volvos than the SF Bay Area

 

Congratulations! Here's to many, many more miles.

 

I hope to get a Volvo soon so I can start racking up milestones like this too.
