Need Advice on Buying 240 DL Wagon 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be james on  Sun Dec 7 01:06 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hello. I would not buy the car it is overprised for the amount of work it needs and if I bought it I would only pay $200 dollars for it and use it as a parts car. I am in the UK and I saw a 1988 volvo 740 gle it had covered 130,000 miles and looked very nice with 8 months Mot which you have done every year in the uk. Had dog guard, towbar and the usual gle spec. It needed a new exhaust box and the price was £100 uk pounds. I would of bought it if I had the space for two cars and would of used it for spares.

A relative had a 1988/9 volvo 240 GLT estate and it was a one owner from new with volvo service history and looked really nice with good silver paintwork, no rust and alloy wheels. It only lasted 13 months after purchase and the engine blew up in France. It had covered 180,000 miles when it died. It cost £700 UK pounds.

I would look round for a nicer car in better condition. James.
