Should i buy a 89 240 DL
So i found this 89 240-DL for sale. It's got 219,000 miles on (broken odmeter) it and still runs. I've thoroughly looked over the car and these are the issues i've found:
I did some research on what to look for and what to expect with these models volvos and it checks out ok from what i've seen.
Here's the kicker, he said the least he will take is $800, which means i can probably get it for $650-$750 if i bring him cash. The owner is a single old man who claims that he is the 3rd owner. He is also an ex-police chief.
I've heard they are THE MOST reliable vehicles you can own and that is exactly what i'm looking for.
Is it worth the money? Is there anything particular i should inspect? Any advice on this would be great.
Thanks.
- Odometer is broken
- Hood mount broken
- Poor paint (no rust)
- A/C doesnt work
- Interior plastic is brittle
- Engine is a little loud (Maybe some piston slap)
- Idles a little rough
- Seems like it's missing vacuum hoses
- Slight oil leak (maybe from head gasket)
- lacks power (of course)
