I just bought Volvo number 60 today! 60 since 1979 - a blue 86 240 wagon for $300 - has a variety of issues, but still goes and the AC works?? 167K needs some exhaust work and lots of TLC - maybe a rear main seal. Have a stack of records from 85K to present. Cost less than the price of one repair on my 850!

    Congrats Bob!

    All those issues are almost fun when you think of how cheap the car was aint they?

    I'm still working on my 79 (had it nearly 2 months now). So far everything's gone great. Still got some reading up to do on the injection system to find a rough idle issue. What's more is I'm jealous! I paid $100 more for mine ;)

    Seriously, congrats on the purchase and here's to hoping all those issues are just a couple tiny ones that'll be easily found and fixed.

    congratulations! Can't beat the price...
    you can paper the garage floor with the records when you do the rear seal :)
    167000 miles, eh? Manual or auto? Did you drive it back or trailer it?
