I've been driving my '87 volvo wagon for five years now. I love it. Paid $700 for it, and it is a beast. Drove it to Montana and back in '09. =)

Those cars are tanks. Amazingly well built and very safe. With that kind of mileage, and a 5 speed manual to boot, seems like a reasonable price.

Bunch of uninformed haters in here, as per usual.

That car was manufactured while Ronald Reagan was in office.
Before the space shuttle Challenger exploded
Before Soviet Russia fell victim to those damn capitalists.
Before Lindsay Lohan was born.
Before Back to the Future was filmed.
Before Ghostbusters came out.

$3500 is a LOT to ask.

3/13/2013 5:28:36 PM

^ forgot the comma, its $3,500.

3/13/2013 7:18:01 PM

^^It's not a lot to ask if people are willing to pay for that. The age of it has little to do with the market price. There are older cars that are worth more. There are newer cars that are worth less.

3/13/2013 7:30:59 PM

From what I can see $3,500 is on the high side for a 1984 244, but it's not that far off. In fact, for craigslist it's probably the correct asking price since every joe-dirt look-alike that uses craigslist to buy cars is going to low-ball him.

3/13/2013 7:35:31 PM

138K? Pfft. That's just getting broken in for a 240. Plus a 5-speed? If taken care of, that car could last another 29 years without needing too much.

^ding ding ding

3/14/2013 10:16:10 AM

c'mon, someone make a reasonable offer. ive run out of thrift shop references.

3/18/2013 7:55:39 PM

under no circumstances will you get $3500

i'll do $1200

3/18/2013 8:09:14 PM

hold out man, you'll find someone

3/21/2013 4:43:00 PM

i had a volvo 240 wagon as my first car. 240's are such proven cars...still so many of them on the road.

any idea as to the mpgs?

3/21/2013 7:59:56 PM

If you keep it right at 70 it gets around 25 mpg, at 75-80 it drops to 22ish. In towm low 20s. Im pretty sure i can get 3k.

3/22/2013 5:51:16 AM

Yeah I think you will, too

3/23/2013 10:51:06 PM

yea my parents had a 83 sedan and 88 wagon and those things were tanks. used them reliably for years. kinda miss them

3/25/2013 10:46:56 PM

How can you honestly think you'd get anything more than $1000 for this pile? They have tons of these in junkyards around here.

3/26/2013 11:20:38 AM

which yards? LKQ will occasionally get a later model 240, but rarely ever anything earlier than 89. Had a guy from south florida offer me 2500 this weekend, trying to decide...

3/26/2013 2:25:02 PM

^that offer would tempt me for sure.

i'd take this as a daily driver in a heartbeat to keep miles off of my truck, but i couldn't justify the expense at the moment.

3/26/2013 8:34:22 PM

^^^

I'll bid $1100.

3/27/2013 12:00:42 AM

I see them at LKQ. The reason I know is because I have a 98 V70

4/1/2013 9:10:25 AM

What kind of shape is the air conditioning system in?

4/2/2013 10:54:57 AM

clearly you aren't asking enough for this fine modern automobile. maybe people aren't taking your ad seriously.

6/11/2013 5:42:10 PM

If he sits on it they will come. I've sold 2 of these cars and the mother fuckers are picky

6/11/2013 9:00:55 PM

sold....
