$6350?! They sure are proud of it and the work they've put into it!
Of all the 240s I've seen advertised in that price range in the last couple years (like 5), they're usually low mileage (<100k) and manual transmission. This is neither. Lots of refurbishment noted, which is great if you're not inclined to do it yourself (because any 30y/o, 200k+mi. Volvo will need all that and more), but there are some notable omissions such as rear control arm bushings and rear main seal. Inspect and inquire about them. Also, that rusty windshield surround is very suspect. Even without the rust, the windshield can be expected to be leaking into the cabin. To me, this further puts it out of the price range. And that failing clearcoat...
If you want a "clean" 240 wagon what doesn't need a ton of work, this may be one of very few options on the east coast. So maybe the really high price is worth it to you. But remember that the seller definitely has wiggle room in that price. Work them down, hard. The car may present well but they're also dealing with a rather small pool of buyers. It's a select few who want to drive any 240 and most of those are cheap bastards who cannot handle the idea that 240 prices are actually going up.
Best of Luck,
Will
