Volvo 240 (1988)
for sale

Price: US $3,900.00

Description:

Selling a well-restored Volvo 240. Mechanically, this car is in great shape. I have a ton of records going back 10 years, showing regular oil changes, PCV servicing, and required repairs. I bought this months ago as a project car and daily driver. I love this car, but after driving it to work for a month, I'm realizing I'm somewhat too big for it. The seating and pedal positions aren't great on my ankles and legs.
I bought this car in moderate shape, and put a TON of work into a full restoration of the car to OEM spec. Mechanically, this car is in near perfect condition. I have records for what Bo Jonsson in San Mateo has done on the car, and receipts for the work I did personally.
Interior and mechanicals are all near-perfect. The big downside is the exterior. The car, at some point in its life, had a very crappy Maaco paint job that's starting to peel and pinhole. The peeling is mostly limited to the trunk area, and is pictured the best I can.
I have much more than $4000 into this car, but I'm listing the car based on what I think it's worth. I'll entertain offers if you can give me a good reason as to why. There are plenty of cheaper 240s for sale in much worse condition.
