Switching from 93 240 to 77 242 200

posted by  someone claiming to be MoncureWW on  Sat Oct 17 03:11 CST 2009 [RELATED]

Good morning all. I have sold my 93 244 with 150k miles on it to replace it with a sub-80k mile garage kept 77 242 that has been babied, maintained, and kept away from rust, the same way my '93 is. New exhaust, brakes, belts, hoses, etc. My question for the group is what can I expect out of a 77 - are we thinking more or less maintenance than the newer models? I am good with Volvos - just want to know what I'm getting into vis a vis the newer redblock bricks which are all I've ever owned. Any advice from the crowd?
