Got a 1987 240 DL wagon I bought off the original owner a month ago might interest you:

Good things:
Outrageously stock.
No rust, and body otherwise good except some parking lot rash on front right quarter and passenger door.
Comes complete with obligatory college decals.
Appears well maintained by Volvo independent shop.
Allegedly garaged for its whole life.

Bad things:
Odometer (not speedo) is broken. Odo alleged to have broken earlier this year at 192,000 (I believe them)
Clutch is toast. I can get around town, but there's no way it will put all the power down.
Valve cover is leaking some oil
Tires are old 'n' dry.
It's FILTHY! I think they washed it once, when I came to see it.
Driver's seat needs a rebuild.

More gory detail if you want. Car is located in Northern Virginia.
Why am I selling? Oddball impulse buy. I wanted to do V-8 myself but it's looking too daunting.

Price: $900.
