Hi, Volvo newb here. Just bought a really clean 1993 240 Classic Wagon, with at least 150,000 miles (odometer stuck). It starts and runs ok. She's rusted through in her wheel wells, but that's the only significant problem. I think she's sexy.

Most of my recent experience is with mkII and III Volkswagens. But i wanted car that could haul seven people, and I wasn't going to drive a van. Well, I found one:




I need to know which are the best online parts dealers, both new and used. VW has germanautoparts.com, which is phenomenal. I'm hoping there is some kick as source that I've not yet come across.

Right now I'm actually in the market for one new sway bar end (if that's what they're really called), and a rear seat belt receiver. I would apprieciate any suggestions, and could certainly use a hand.

Thanks,
Jonathan

 

The two main online parts dealers for Volvo are:
www.ipdusa.com
www.fcpgroton.com

 

I've used germanautoparts.com for my 240, they have great prices and great customer service.
There's also Tasca, although I've never used them.
I usually look at all 4 of the sites mentioned in this thread and go with the one that has the best price for the quality parts- from what I've hear stay away from Scantech and other super cheap deals.

Nice ride- paint looks good!

That thing is wicked awesome! yea Germanautoparts is the place to get stuff.. both me and my buddy get our stuff from there.. He just so happens to have an MKII golf

 

Thanks guys! I apprieciate the help and encouragement, it means a lot. I'm happy that there is a volvo community out there.

Funny, I've been ordering from GermanAutoParts for three years now, and never realized they sell Volvo parts. Damn, too cool. Yeah they're great. I'm glad you pointed that out.

I've just discovered that autohausaz.com has good volvo stuff too. They're a very reputible outfit.

My new ride has already gotten compliments! That kicks ***.

The paint Does look good. Far from perfect, but really good, especially for its age.
