True story. I was in college and my car was totaled. So I needed a car since I was commuting to school not living on campus to save money. Had 300 dollars, went to a used car lot and bought the only 300 dollar car, a 1978 Volvo tan station wagon. It had the rare 5th gear electric overdrive that used a switch on top of the shift knob. Anyway, it had 250k miles,on it, I changed the oil and put brake pads on it. Got another 250k on it before the body started falling off it. It had just over 500,000 miles when it was sold for 300 dollars back to the guy I bought it from. Well a couple guys were restoring a late 70s Volvo and contacted the guy with my old one with the rare overdrive and they went to open up the engine and transmission but saw they looked great and simply put new seals in it and called it good, this was for a higher end restoration. The old Volvos rocked period!

I own a 1992 740 wagon. It has over 420K miles and driven daily. It’s been in my family since new. No rebuilding of engine or transmission. Has never had valve cover removed. No accidents and paint is still in great shape. Driver seat will need recovered but rest of interior is great. I have been to 38 states in it and to my knowledge it has never needed a tow or left anyone stranded. I recently purchased a 1993 240 with 126K miles. It is in great shape and service records from new. I got it as my sons first car. If he takes care of it no doubt he can pass it on to his kid someday in the future. These cars were built to last a lifetime. No car will ever be built like these again. I will drive these until I’m no longer able to drive.

@hoppysport2872 5 лет назад

I had a 1982 Volvo GLT manual Turbowagon...Silver with blue cloth interior. I put 175,000 miles on it in 5 years and it was bulletproof. I sold it in 1987 to a Manhattan chicken restaurant for deliveries. It's still their primary delivery vehicle. I then leased a manual 1988 SAAB 900 Turbo, black over tan leather. Awesome car. Then I bought a 1991 Toyota Cressida, white over gray leather. Sold it in 2011 for $9,600 with 195,000 miles on the clock...and it needed a head gasket. The purchaser is still driving it. My current car is a 2008 SAAB 9-5 with 93,000 miles. It's as reliable as any car I've ever owned. Hope to keep it for another 10 years.

@chrisj197438 5 лет назад

@hoppysport2872 5 лет назад

That 1993 240 will go forever. it even has an airbag. Frankly I wish that I still had my 1982 GLT Turbowagon. I always loved upgrading it from IPD in Oregon. The Swedish made great cars. I always coveted a P1800ES. Unfortunately I live in Manhattan, where parking is impossible and expensive. People criticize GM and the later SAABs. All I know is that my 9-5 is just about the safest car on the road, gets 32 mpg on the highway, is comfortable, reliable, and parts are plentiful and reasonable.

@boobsthechemist2067 5 лет назад

@phobod1 4 года назад

My first car at 17 was my family's Volvo 240 DL wagon, with the 5th gear overdrive feature... let me tell you, that car was fuckin awesome. Not only was it an absolute tank, but it was also unbelievably comfortable, had the plushest leather seats ive ever sat in, had so much room for activities, and best of all, the car lasted over 25 years without any major repair, just regular maintenance. That car quite literally saved my family's life in 2 accidents, and barely sustained a few dents in both instances. I absolute adored that thing and it made me a volvo owner for life, having had 2 now since then in the past 12 years.

@hpkntnw 5 лет назад

There will never be a more reliable car than a Volvo 240. My parents had a couple of 240s when I was a kid and a 760 turbo passed down from my grandmother. Every single one made it over 300,000 miles with basic maintenance. The 760 turbo was finally scrapped in 2014 with 518,000 miles and not because the engine was junk but rather the body rot from all those New England winters. In fact the drive train never came out of that car. It even had the original alternator Just unbelievable cars.

I got to drive one of the turbo models way back when. It was a fantastic car. Besides the things you mentioned, the fit and finish were miles ahead of most of the crap of the day. plus it had a ton of usable space, even in the 2 door version thanks to that boxy design.

I grew up in the City of Falls Church, Va and remember these as a kid. The 240 Police Package was called the "Don Beyer Special" because Don Beyer Volvo in Falls Church sold and outfitted the cars. Since the City of Falls Church Virginia is such a small city, they thought there was no need for a fast police car. Love you...
