Twice this past week I've had people knock on my door to ask me if i would like to buy their volvo before it goes to volvalhalla.

 

Vallahalla?

Cant say I would buy another 240 truthfully, maybe a nice later wagon sure. 7-9s are more my thing and most are pretty ratted out in my area.

 

I think that is pretty cool. People are emotionally attached to their Volvos and feel bad about letting them go. It gives some comfort to them if it purchased by a Volvo fan as they know if will be the hands of someone who cares about the cars. I'd be flattered and tempted. :-)

 

My little play on words.

Yeah I prefer the 7/9. Specifically 1989 740s because I like the sealed beam headlights. One of the cars going to the jy was a 7 but I already have a 89 740 parts car...probably don't need another.

 

Kinda cool...kinda weird....I guess someone's noticed there's a few old Volvo's in front of my house.

 

weird? i don't think so. at least around here in new england 240 sedans are getting very rare. wagons not so much....but they are usually beat.

 

I had that happen to me earlier this year. I was driving, and came to a stop, and some girl came up, tapped on my window and told me they were getting rid of their old Volvo, and asked if I wanted it. I said no, but wished I hadn't afterwards. I would have liked to have had a parts car. I think it's great--the 240s come to me, and I don't have to go looking.
