Description

I purchased this car in 2013 from the original owner with ~167k miles. My daughter drove the car for 2 years and it is now time to pass on to the next owner. After purchasing the car, I replaced a number of parts and have proactively maintained the car for the past three years.
For a 32 year old car, it is in very good, original condition. The interior is clean with no tears or burn marks in the seats (both owners were non-smokers). I added Weathertech floor mats. The paint is excellent on the vertical parts of the car -- the clear coat on the hood, roof and trunk has begun to lift and/or fade and looks cloudy. The original owner had additional rust proofing installed on the car when new. It has some minor dings and scratches here and there, but has been detailed inside and out and looks very nice.
I changed the oil every ~3k miles. This is a very well kept example of a true classic Volvo. It is not a 'beater' -- but a daily driver that with continued care and maintenance, should have plenty of life left.
I have most of my records and a few from the prior owner. The car was inspected by a Volvo expert repair shop in June 2014 -- no problems found. I have Bentley and Hayes service manuals that come with the car.
If you are looking for a sought after, classic 240 that you can drive, this is one of the best examples you'll likely find. Serious buyers only, please. If you see this listing, the car is still for sale.
