Might get a 1990 240, anything important to check before buying?
Hey, i might buy a 90’ 240DL. Is there anything in particular I should looking at? It seems to be in good condition. Has 115,000 miles.
can I use this as a daily driver? Im assuming after a check up/service (just as a precaution) it should be good to go, it looks to be in good condition.
Reliability is a must, don’t want this to turn to a money pit, Thanks!

A 30+ year old car with only 115k is an amazing find. Not sure if '90 had a computer that gives error codes so you might check that.
Everything now is a money pit unless you do all your own work. If you buy it the first thing I'd do is download all the relevant manuals and parts books from https://ozvolvo.org/archive/. Thumb through the files just to familiarize your self with what you've bought. There's no substitute for good information especially when its free.
