YOU ARE BIDDING ON A ONE OWNER 1984 VOLVO 240 WAGON. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW BY MY MOM AND SHE NO LONGER DRIVES. HERE IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT RUNS VERY RICH AT IDLE, HOWEVER IT GOES DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO ISSUE RUNS SMOOTH AND HAS NICE POWER. WE HAVE REPLACED AND THEN REINSTALLED THE ORIGINAL PART FOR THE FOLLOWING LIST AND NONE OF THEM CORRECTED THE PROBLEM: MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, SPARK BOX LOCATED UNDER HOOD RIGHT SIDE, ECM LOCATED UNDER RIGHT KICK PANEL. WE ALSO REPLACED THE FOLLOWING PARTS AND THE PARTS STAYED IN THE VEHICLE. INTAKE GASKET, O2 SENSOR, COOLANT TEMP SENSOR, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATER. CAP, ROTOR PLUGS AND WIRES ALL NEW. STILL RUNS RICH AT IDLE. THE LAST GARAGE WE BROUGHT IT TO SAID THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE MAIN ENGINE HARNESS, PROBABLY ONE OR MORE CORRODED AND OR BROKEN\SHORTED WIRES CAUSING THE PROBLEM, BASED ON EVERYTHING ELSE WE TRIED HE IS PROBABLY RIGHT, SO FIND A HARNESS OR FIND THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR THE EXISTING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS A NEW EXHAUST, INTERMEDIATE PIPE, MUFFLER AND TAILPIPE. OIL AND FILTER JUST CHANGED, AND NEW AIR FILTER. ALL THAT BEING SAID AGAIN THE VEHICLE DRIVES DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO ISSUES, BUT AT IDLE LOADS UP AND RUNS ROUGH AND RICH. THE VEHICLE ALWAYS HAD DEALER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND WAS WELL CARED FOR. IT HAS ITS SHARE OF RUST SPOTS AND HOLES, WHEEL WELLS AND ROCKERS BUT IT IS OK. THE AC HAS NOT WORKED IN YEARS. TIME FOR US TO LET IT GO AND NOT PUT ANYMORE TIME OR MONEY INTO IT BEING THAT MOM NO LONGER DRIVES. THE SEATS ARE IN VERY NICE SHAPE, THE RUG IS WORN THROUGH IN THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR BUT THE REST IS OK. LOOK AT THE PICKS, THIS VEHICLE COULD BE UP AND RUNNING CORRECTLY IN THE HANDS OF THE RIGHT PERSON. THIS AUCTION IS FOR LOCAL PICK UP ONLY, PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME VIEW AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE BEFORE BIDDING. THANKS FOR LOOKING. YES THESE ARE RECENT PICTURES JUST TAKEN 11\01\11 YES WE JUST HAD 20" OF SNOW IN BETHLEHEM CT. 06751 ON 10\29\11.On Nov-09-11 at 15:41:50 PST, seller added the following information: REVISION: I HAVE BEEN GETTING SEVERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE UNDERCARRIAGE. I HAVE ADDED A BUNCH OF PICTURES. DID THE BEST I COULD IN THE DARK ON MY BACK IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH ONE SIDE JACKED UP. THERE IS SOME SURFACE RUST ON THE FLOOR PANS AND ONE HOLE IN THE CROSS UNIBODY BUT THE REST AND OVERALL IS PRETTY SOLID.ALSO QUESTIONS ON THE TIRES. FRONTS ARE DUNLOPS WITH 7\32 TREAD DEPTH LEFT AND THE REARS ARE COOPERS WITH 8\32 TREAD DEPTH LEFT ALL GOOD. I ALSO WANT TO DISCLOSE 2 YEARS AGO WE WELDED AND PAINTED SHEET METAL TO THE LEFT REAR QUARTER AS THE SPARE TIRE WELL WAS ROTTED AND THE TIRE WAS COMING THROUGH. I HOPE ALL THIS WITH THE ADDED PICTURES HELPS.
