What caused the engine to fail and how much to fix? 200 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be dlot on  Sun Mar 16 02:14 CST 2003 [RELATED]

If the car is nice cosmetically and really does have good brakes, suspension,
etc. It's probably worth the price. I buy 240s in NJ that don't run but can
be brought back to life for anywhere from $300-700. You just have to see the
car. Also when looking at the car that is the time to negotiate the price
even lower. I think you could get that for $500. After all you have to tow it
or pay someone to tow it. Cared for used engines with 200k miles on them
still have factory honing so you can get a good used motor and have a nice
Volvo. Happy rolling!
