This wagon is a rare find. Originally purchased in California, and driven to Austin, TX to spend the majority of it's life with one owner. It appears to have original paint. The Texas sun doesn't allow for that unless it was always stored in a garage. The exterior has plenty of shine left. Of course, it is Texas rust free! The interior is the very dark Grey/Blue plush cloth that almost appears black in color. In the pictures I hadn't even vacuumed or cleaned it yet. There are no rips or tears and far less then average wear. The dash has several cracks that can be fixed, or replaced. The drivers seat has many adjustments and is literally as comfortable as my couch. The engine starts with the twist of the key, it burns no oil, has a lot of new parts, and pulls with full power through all the gears. The transmission is smooth. The clutch is strong. It has (4) nearly new Michelin tires. Brakes don't make any noise and stop the car exactly as they should. I would put my grandmother in this car and let her drive cross country.) Did I mention the A/C blows ICE COLD!! The new sony deck with mp3 player plug in sounds great! All the electronics work! Once you drive it you will not believe it has 277k on it! It goes to show you, a properly maintained and driven volvo 240 is far better than a 100k mile 240 that has been ignored. These cars are meant to be driven and maintained. You will not be dissapointed. The only fault with the interior is the spare tire cover in the back. Like most of them, it has rotted out and been replaced with a new plywood template. It just needs to be covered with the matching blue carpet. (or leave it as is). Driven sensibly, 30 mpg should be easily within reach. This was last used as a commuter car for that reason. It cruises the TX highways at 75 mph with ease and comfort. This is a 24 year old car, it is an exceptional example of a classic volvo 240 wagon. It is sold with love but no express or implied warranty of any kind. The car is sold as is, ready to drive home or be shipped anywhere in the country. I am available to help you secure shipping if this is your first time. Thanks for looking!
