Original Manual - the Owner's Manual or service manual set? 200

I, too, was surprised to find that Owner's Manuals could still be obtained. The whole set of service manuals is quite a deal.

Some years back I looked at a private sale of a 1984 240DL. Had a very noisy pinion bearing, and one of the windows wouldn't roll up, and some other minor flaws. Too much to mess with.

I turned it down. two weeks later the guy calls, "I sold the car, would you like to buy the manuals?" I went and looked. He had the total Volvo set in the three or four Volvo binders. That thing goes for over $1,000, look in the volvocars.com/lit site. I don't remember what he said he paid, but I bought the set for $30.00 !!!

I hope you have a gang of the green books. I happen to have the WDM for 1985 240, sorta a typographical error when ordering a 1986 book. However, the 1985 is great, b/c it has B230F, B21FT, B27, D24, and tachometer wiring. It was liek $30 and worth it.

Regards,

Bob
