So it has come to pass where I have many Volvo's: a 93 940 wagon non-turbo with rex-regina ignition, a 91 940 turbo wagon, a 93 240 wagon non turbo basic model, and 66 p1800 survivor which is will someday get restored. So what to keep of the others. We no longer have space for all of them; they all run and are fun in their own ways to drive. The family seems to favor the 240 and it's the third one we have had. It's sturdy and fun to drive. The 940's are a bit more comfortable for my antique frame but the turbo is well a turbo and it going to need more TLC and the other car is nice but slow. The B230 was really at home in the 240 or as a turbo in the 940. So what's the collective opinion - who should stay and who should go?

        steve123,

        Preference for anything with manual transmission, if any are manual transmission equipped.

        For me, normally aspired (aspried? Ha!) 240, 740, and 940 are zippy enough for me. They all travel the North America speed limits well enough!

        Outside of the US West and Canada, where the roads are not terrible and rotting as is all elsewhere in neglecting everything save for the shareholder value, I have no idea where you'd drive a (image link CB posted):

        7 240s total since 1984. 3 240s today and rotting away.
