I have had two previous 240's. A great '85 244 GLT, ran like a dream. Wife totaled it. Next was '89 244 GL, a super dream of a car. Wife totaled it. Now she is in a '96 960 super nice car. Only praying she will not total it also. I am tired of knowing my insurance agent so intimately. The Volvo mechanic I bought the 950 from warned me against buying a '90-'92 240 because of problems. But he did not say what problems. I have been looking for another really nice 240 and would like the later years if possible. But do not want to buy someone else's headache as I have enough of my own keeping my wife in cars...What about he Volvo 4cyl with 16 valves?
Any and all comments are welcomed and appreciated...
Thanks, Walt
