Description:

1990 Volvo 240 Wagon. Extremely reliable and ready for anything after a few repairs. I have owned the car for three years and have replaced the blower motor (common, very expensive fix), alternator, water pump, and distributer cap. Recent tune-up with new plugs and wires along with a fresh oil change. Unfortunately the odometer stopped working at 107K so the exact mileage of the car is unknown. HOWEVER, the second owner put the mileage at around 155k and having only owned the car for three years and done mostly city driving, between a few trips to the west side of the state, I haven't put on a significant amount more. The tiny 4-cylinder isn't very powerful but the 5-speed manual makes this brick surprisingly delightful to drive and I am sad to see it go. One pressing issue to make Volvo roadworthy- the exhaust is pretty worse for wear and causes the mass airflow sensor to send false signals to the engine. In turn, the engine idles roughly and revs bounce off the very low end. It seems to do better in the cold weather. Being a full-time student, I don't have the time or money to invest in this car to make it shine but I've done my best at taking care of it. There's a lot of potential here and I want sell to someone who will invest the time and money to bring it back up to par. Thanks!
