I think I have discovered the unarguable chief city of residence for the Volvo enthusiast in the United States. Without a doubt it has to be Charlottesville, VA. You have the combination of the Washington D.C. commuter traffic combined with the University of Virginia crowd... seems like every other car there was a volvo. I lived there in 94-95 and as I recall most were 240's.

Seeing so many of them is what made me want to buy one. I just loved seeing a classic looking car that was reliable AND didn't change it's body style every six months so as to make you feel like you were driving an outdated vehicle.

It seemed to me that most of the Volvo owners there were not just 'keeping up with the Jones' but had actually discovered a reliable vehicle which made sense to keep around for 20 years....

Just my two cents.

I bet they have some great 240 boneyards there...
