My father who got me into Volvos just got rid of his '87 244DL with 325K miles because of rust in the underbody (Don't worry he still has 3 other RWD Volvos.) He bought it new in '86 and has been the only owner. I bought an '88 244GL in '92 with 55K for $2500 and I have put over 130K miles on her and only invested additional $1500 to "jack up the horn and replace the whole car just in the last 2 years." I also own 2 other 200 series cars that I split my driving with. I have had other 200 series and either got tired of them or they rusted out too far to pass safety inspection. I will keep the '88 244GL until either I die or some jerk totals it (heaven help him/her!) I see myself driving it for at least another 20 years.

BTW: I picked my niece up from her father's a couple of months ago and he commented to me: "You STILL have that car!!" I haven't seen him in over 5 years. He has known me for almost 18 years and this is the only car he remembers me by. This car is almost my trademark.
