Hi Bob!
I know just how you feel! I am excited for you too! I'm not sure where you're located, but here in California a 91 240 in the condition you described would fetch somewhere in the neighborhood of $3000 - $4000+. But it really varies depending on the seller or location of city. Just as a reference, I recently purchased an 89 245 for $2000. It was originally advertised for $2350 (if I recall), but I ended up getting it for $2000--that was the seller's cut-off point. I was fine with that. The car is white with beige vinyl interior, has about 178k, power sunroof (no leaks), heated seats, power windows, and it's in awesome condition. The car is mechanically sound and runs splendidly. I'm not sure if I got a deal or not, but I think I did. I usually like to ask the seller why he (or she) is selling the car. The seller was frank and said he just needs the money. Sometimes you can get a good deal if the seller just needs money. Patience and a bit of luck is important in car shopping. If you really want that car and feel that the asking price is fair as it is, get it soon before someone else does! But don't rush yourself though. You'd be surprise how many people want a 240 despite the popular belief that the general public finds that car to be aesthetically challenged! Volvos are sexy!
