Volvo 240 values on Bring a Trailer are holding in there, with the bulk of transactions happening under $10k.

Your best bet when looking at these charts is to ignore the outliers, like the $59.5k sale in 2024. They're great for headlines, but not useful if you're actually selling or buying. Watch the body of the chart, that's where the truth lies.

We bought a nice 245T 6 yrs old when they were stylish, functional, slightly sporty family wagons. The kid we bought it from cleaned big boats at the marinas - he really needed a truck.

We watched them become average used cars, still a few minty ones around. Then cars people gave to their college kids. Then HS kids were driving them. Then they faded away.

And now look!

Looks like $8 to 10K is typical on REPORTED sales.
Not bad at all. But the unreported sales may be $2 to 4K.
