I am in a situation where I need to sell my Volvo (unfortunately). Would anyone out there with more knowledge than myself be willing to provide a rough idea of what my 1991 Volvo 240 is worth?
I've checked Edmunds and some other sites online and they range from $650 - $1500 (US dollars). I initially listed for $900 and have received e-mails saying I'm not asking enough. I felt as though I was asking too much? HELP!
I will try to attach some photos to this post but here is my ad:
I own a used, dependable, and efficient 1991 VOLVO 240 that I am looking to sell. It's a mid-size, 4-door car with burgundy exterior (no rust or dents) and tan interior (no rips, tears, or major stains). It's got a 4 cylinder engine with automatic transmission and currently has (only) 140,000 miles on it. It gets approx. 27-30 mpg on the highway and 22-24 mpg in the city. This Volvo was not smoked in and features hot heat, heated seats, moonroof (no leaks), power locks/windows, good tires and more. If you need a car that will start and get you from point A to B in a warm fashion this car will do the trick.
With that said and as is the case with any older vehicle this Volvo does have some idiosyncrasies. For example, the speedometer is moody - sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't (used part + labor = $100-125 if you took it in somewhere). The driver's side rear exterior door handle came off - I have the handle, but not the time to replace it. The windshield wiper motor needs replaced (I survived with Rain X). I kept the car around after purchasing a van for work purposes because it would be a great car for someone who has the skills and time to fix the cosmetic issues - the car would be perfect for a Volvo fan that knows how to work on them!
The only other issue I can think of is that the turn signal light cover on the driver's side is broken - the lights still function properly.
I live in the Midwest, Nebraska to be exact.
What are your thoughts on its worth? Thanks in advance!
