Annual Maintenance Cost of 164e 140-160 1974

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Sat Dec 14 11:22 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hello, all!

I'm selling my 1974 164e, automatic transmission, in excellent mechanical condition (I changed ALL fluids and cleaned the PCV and fuel system within the past six months). I also do all of my own repairs (except overhauls). A buyer asked me what the annual maintenance cost is for this car, as he will have a mechanic do all repairs and maintenance (even changing oil). I honestly couldn't answer because I do my own repairs and keep the car garaged and only drive rarely. I realize that annual maintence varies depending upon number of miles driven, freeway vs city driving, driving habits, extent of preventive maintence, and pure chance. I think the buyer was concerned that Volvos cost more to maintain than other cars, which I don't think is true. Any opinions?
