I may be a dyed-in-the-wool Volvo enthusiast but that Craigslist ad from NJ was just too much for me. "It is not uncommon to HEAR of these engines going 500,000 miles?!" What is the seller on, something I haven't tried yet? I can safely tell anyone here that those B230F engines do need quite a lot of TLC just to keep running - constant timing belt changes, anyone? No, those bodies will not last over a half million miles - even though they were galvanized post-1986, they are still prone to rust. Those 240s have little nooks and crannies where gunk can accumulate and contribute to the tinworm. Shifty will probably attest to this too.

that, my friend, is the car I was looking for. Price does seem a tad low at a new car (not volvo of course) dealer. If it was a bit closer, I might just have to take a ride. i do have a Honda to trade them... Nice pictures in that ad too! Had to go to the dealer web site to find some. Looks like it needs a serious detail, probably tires soon too, so who knows what else. Why does a dealer not even bother to vacuum or wipe down the interior before taking the pictures? My favorite item though is it needs a headlight bulb replaced (it is, after all, a Volvo). They have a shot of the guages, where you can read the bulb failure message, plus a shot of the front end with the lights (er., light) on! |

Found the fine print (the dealer site ad has a pirce of $11,995, with a special of $9,995 "Vehicle prices reflect fifteen hundred dollars owners loyalty discount. Five hundred dollars college graduate discount to qualifying customers.Must be financed through dealer"

In the classifieds section of one of the German magazines I brought home, I noticed a 1943 GPW Jeep with a MB 180D (I assume ponton) engine. That's an odd hybrid. Also several W110 fintails over 10K Euro.
