Greetings, I'm currently on my 3rd Volvo (had V70, have 850) and just bot a 1984 240 sedan. It's the straight-6 diesel. However, picked it up for reasonably cheap. 98k miles, silver, very good condition (obviously garage-kept). Only tiny spots of rust starting in the rear quarter panels. Interior also VGC. Automatic trans. Only problem is one hellacious leak from power steering. It is ass-slow (current car is 850 Turbo wagon), but I'm loving it. Had intended on selling it to make a few bucks mostly because the body is so nice. What's it worth? I'm not too smart on power steering; leaking on the hydraulic cylinder. Repair costs? No info is too basic for me on these models. Thanks in advance. -Jim
