Thoughts on 1978 Volvo 242

Post by Dave K »

My son has his eye on a low mileage 1978 242 but I am a little leery as it is so old.

Are the 1978 240s as good as the later ones as far as reliability and used parts availability?

Is the early Jetronic system problematic?


Thanks for any input

Dave
