Re: Volvo Findings! (What have you found on Craigslist?)


Get your Yellow. You know you've always wanted one.






I have mine, for quite a few years now, she is my baby.
That is a very nice car. And, I know I am almost alone on this, but I think the sedan is the far better looking, compared to the wagon.
Not quite sure how that wagon thing took over ...

Re: 1982 Volvo 240 Turbo For Sale Dead Engine

There are some pretty stupid prices for old Volvo's. But the market will always accommodate the most fooling buyer.
I mean, those are nice cars. But these 240's are at the point of being dinosaurs. Parts are getting quite hard to get, and even a lot of the independent shops are starting to shun them.

Re: 1982 Volvo 240 Turbo For Sale Dead Engine

Not that far, true, but if it is shipped it is it probably another $800-1000

Re: 1982 Volvo 240 Turbo For Sale Dead Engine

I had a two door in college, with a bad bash in the driver door.
She was ugly but I loved her.

I might be interested in this one if you were in Texas.

Re: FOR SALE: Volvo 850 M56 5-speed Transmission - Central KY

I would be interested in it for my parts stash.
I am in Texas. I am not sure how easily shippable that is. Maybe Greyhound, cheaper anyway

Re: 1972 164 Manual, 1,500$, Rochester NY

So badly treated, pretty sad. Was once a charming little blue car.
This would be an enormous amount of work, I hope someone takes it on. But I doubt it.

Re: '89 240 Wagon at Capital auction in NH

I had a 242T I wish I had never sold, and I had a 244, also sold. Then I moved to all 850's. There is a bit of a cult around 240's, and they are well made car, but they are dull looking, very heavy and very under-powered, especially in light of that bulk. I talked to my mechanic a few weeks ago and ...

Re: 1995 850 T-5R, Cream yellow 607 SoCal $2500

I would love to buy another one, but i have put so much money into my 850 Turbo and my T5r that is just silly.
I don't regret any of it though. I love these cars.

Re: 1995 850 T-5R, yellow SoCal price?

I would like to say she is worth that price for you, but there is quite a bit of work to do there, and missing the original wheels, and a decent bit of bumps and scratches about the surface. I would say in this shape it is not worth more than about $1200, unless you happen upon the fanatic like I ...
