Wow, an original owner, repeat buyer, and true believer! I wonder what that would be like, getting a new car, already aware you intend to keep it forever. Volvo's intro of the 7/9 and even 8 series failed to sway you.

I mull over that 93 production year based on a smattering of manufacturing experience where product lifecycle and vendor partnerships are intertwined -- all based on order volume predictions/commitments to result in feature and engineering compromises. I'd say, from what I've seen, Volvo did extremely well rolling out the last of the last. I have the impression the labor force was very fond of the 240, and showed it in the care they took.

Contrast this to the miniature bottles frequently found in Chevy door panels.

Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?
