I'm looking for opinions on older volvo's. I'd like to pick up another older one, but I don't necessarily want to limit my options to another 240 (I have one I have restored) My main concerns are "wrenchability" and availability of parts. ie relatively easy, and lots.... I'd like a wagon,...

740/940/760 Turbo/940 Turbo all with the legendary Red block engines. I've had 240's (wagon and sedan), 760 Turbo sedan, 940 HPT wagon and loved them for simplicity. If you have a 240 neither should scare you but you get wedge design instead. There are still a fair few nice ones out there even with ...

That 'new' 740 Turbo is really nice. Love the color too. I liked my 760 turbo, but it was black which is not my favorite color but it was what was available at the time. Bought it as it was a B.C. province car which uses little salt and it was rust free. I found out the hard way that it was still po...

The 2nd generation S40/V50/C70 were released around 2005 and were related to the Ford Focus and Mazda 3 of the time. These ran until around 2011 although I am not certain of ...

There's a guide in your owners manual. What oil you use depending on climate.. 0-40? No way.. 5w30 all year round here in Ohio I know that Canadian models have oil heaters for cold start ups..

I love that lime green tur-QUA Edsel. Go large or go home. No white/silver/grey cars there.

Thank you.

Reached out to an auto body repair guy to see if he has a relay diagram. Hoping to not replace them All.
