I've had 47 of them in assorted shapes and colors - 140, 164, mostly 240s - sedans and wagons.

My favorite year- probably 82 and 88. One 82 wagon consistently got 28 to 30 mpg on the highway with a minimum of trouble. My current 88 sedan (89 engine) is probably the secon best Volvo I have owned. In three years, it has never failed to start - of course I did a mot of preventative stuff from the get-go!

I just worked on a 91 240 wagon today and was impressed with it - so I guess I will end up with a 91-93 wagon at some point - next few years.

The 740s and 940 are just now in my price range $1500 to $3000 for 88, 89, 90s and I expect to purchase a few of those during the next few years too/

so far 88 and 82 are the winners in the 240 bracket - less rust on the 88 makes it a better choice!
