I am looking for a good, reliable, and safe wagon to carry my family around in. I think I want a volvo 245.

I want a manual transmission. I am under the impression that some years came with 4-speeds plus an overdrive, and some years came with 5-speeds. Is this true, if so, what year did they switch to the 5-speed? How does the overdrive work (is it in the differential?)?

Did any of the 200 series come with carborators? I dislike them and would like to stay away.

When did volvo switch to the LH-Jetronic? 1983? Also, what is the difference between K-Jetronic and LH-Jetronic? Is K-Jetronic what I know as CIS from the Porsche world?

Are there any years/engines to stay away from? Am I correct in assuming that I want at least a B23F? Also, what is the difference between the B23F and the B230F?

Thanks Guys,

Also any general comments on the best years/most common problems would be appreciated.
