Bought for 100€, driven for 3years without any problems. Performance was poor because of b19a 97hp engine and 3gear autobox. Used to tow car trailer also, not quite rocket with 1500kg car in trailer. In winter it was very nice drift machine, so smooth to slide.Jan 14, 2013

I like the looks, yes even though it isnt trendy or streamlined. VERY VERY reliable, even though its THIRTY years old. MPG is a bit disappointing, 23.8 on highway, 13.4 in town (hills). K jet FI is very relaible. Easy car to work on. Very good brakes. Handling is OK, but not up to modern car standards. Upgraded sway bars help a LOT, IPD makes good ones and installation is easy. Noisy interior at hwy speeds.
I'll be keeping mine for a long long time.
Easy fix for a rough idle? New injector seals, cheap, easy and they make a big difference.

My $500 beater! Owned by an old lady before me, had a power steering leak and pulled to le left a lot! It was my favourite car because it was so cheap and just kept going, it would still be going if I changed the timing belt. It had almost 400,000km's on the clock and I sold it to a scrap yard which crushed it into a cube.Jul 25, 2010

Volvo 240 GL Wagon. It has a lot of miles on it but is going very strong as anyone can expect form a good old classic Volvo. Many mod plans. But for now, I am bring it back to stage 0. Jul 18, 2010

This was the first year turbo edition that Volvo released. Added an intercooler, rally strut bracing under the hood, and frame bracing underneath.Next project, rebuild suspension, then install an IPD turbo boost actuator and up the PSI slightly.Apr 02, 2008
