thinking of buying a 242gt 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Rhys on  Sun Dec 26 05:44 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I bought a '79 brand new - in fact it was the only car I have ever bought new. It was a sensation then, and produced a lot of attention, all positive, from other drivers, and especially other Volvo people. The Saab was and continues to be viewed as a kind of wierd and unusual car here in Canada, and people who own them are viewed the same.
I thrashed that car for two years and the only fault it had was a rattly shift lever, and a misaligned driveshaft which was corrected before it went out of warranty. It was fast, smooth, quiet, and a blast to drive. I have never driven another 240 like it. The GLT's I have owned were all nice cars, but they did not feel like that '79.
