This is a great car. You will be glad you bought it.

It has quirks, and it is 30 years old almost. If you know these cars, it has some typical issues, including the OD button. It's a four speed manual with electronic overdrive. The clutch should be replaced soon, but it is still 100% driveable. Great brakes. Needs a muffler. There is minor rust on back underside quarters. Interior is in fair to good shape other than drivers seat. Headliner in great shape. Dash cracked in 2 places but covered with a dash pad. Drives great, straight, the shocks are in great condition, the heater works great and is not noisy, the AC is non functional, all what you would expect. Burns no oil. Leaks no oil. Odometer reads 196k. The odometer stops working from time to time, but I feel the mileage is close to accurate. I have had close to 10 of these cars over the years and simply need to pay for a bill so it's time to part ways with this one.

Completely reliable. Should pass emissions no prob with a new tailpipe. Price is 100% firm, and this car has no hidden issues. No cracks on windshield. Oh 4 practically new snow tires included and total of 8 rims.

Title complete and in my name. Cash only. Include your # in email thanks! Feel free to ask any questions. The picture was maybe a month ago. Thanks for looking.
The usual disclaimer: I don't know the seller, don't know the car, don't know anything beyond what the ad says, and don't have any interest in this sale. This post is intended to potentially provide a match between an MVS member and his future Volvo, or generate discussion because of the car's rarity, beauty, or low price.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link

Might have some trouble getting up those hills in Denver with a 240 @ a mile high!

Drop down to 2nd, rest your foot on the floor, and stay with the trucks :mrgreen:

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."
