I just picked this little puppy up today. I have been lamenting for days on the 850 message board about which 850 to buy, but when I saw this beautiful 1989 Silver Sedan I knew my answer. I'm just a 240 kind o' guy!

Here's what I know about it. B230F, all repair records back to first purchase, new tranny under waranty, new tires with lifetime alinements, new master cylinder, breaks in good condition, roof rack. Power locks, windows and moonroof, seat warmers, and radio all work. The best part is....A trunk full of spare parts from Pick-A-Part! Spare AMM, dozens of sensors, complete harness, fan and motor, light covers, body molding, several spare ECUs and idle speed computers, etc! I'm a happy guy!

My girlfriend bought a great '83 240 waggon back in December. She loves it, I keep it running. It has been my first close contact with Volvo's, but with all of Brickboard's help, I have come to love working on these cars. When I test drove this pampered 240 today, I knew it had to be mine.

Hello, my name is Ryan, and I am a 240 addict.

PS, any tips based on engine pics or otherwise are gladly encouraged. I'm going to start with new battery cables. Oh and I have noticed that there is some PS fluid coating the power steering fluid reservoir (?). I also just realized it has ODB 1 so I will be on the street at sunrise searching for fault codes : )
