I'm sad to list my favorite Volvo wagon for sale, but it's time to thin the herd.This 1988 Volvo 240 DL wagon was originally a Georgia car and was meticulously cared for by the Volvo dealer in Macon, Georgia. When I called the dealer a couple years ago and described the car, they remembered it immediately. It came to Kansas with a community college student in 2007 and was sold to an elderly man in Pratt, Kansas in 2009. I purchased the car from the gentleman's son after he was no longer able to drive.Over the last couple years I have slowly fixed or replaced everything that I found that the car needed. The odometer didn't work when I purchased the car, which is a common problem with these older Volvos. I repaired the odometer and, using the Carfax records and the recollection of the former owner, reset the odometer to be close to the estimated actual mileage. This car is in excellent condition for its age. You would never know it has over 200k miles! The car has absolutely no rust anywhere.Everything works as it should on this car, with the exception of the A/C, which blows cool, but not cold air. The old R-12 system was converted to R-134a and holds a charge, but it isn't as cold as a new A/C system.The old tan interior plastic pieces are known to turn to breadcrumbs by this age. I've managed to find good quality replacements for everything that was broken or cracked. The exception is the dash, which does have a few cracks in it, as is common on older dashes. The driver seat bolster had a large hole worn in it, so I had an upholstery shop repair the seat. The patch is visible, but doesn't stand out. The exterior is in very good condition. At some point, the original owner had the car repainted in the original metallic beige and finished with a high quality clear coat. There are a few chips in the front and some scratches in the finish, but overall the paint is still great. The passenger rear door has two small door dings, and the driver rear wheel arch has a small dent. If you look very closely, you can find one small hail dent on the roof.I own and maintain five old Volvos. I pay attention to the details and fix all the little things that often plague the 240s, like straightening all the door handles and installing new stops, rebuilding the seat heaters, repairing the rear seat release handle, etc. I have done extensive maintenance to this car and put on many new parts. I will include a full list below. Please look at the pictures and let me know if you have any questions. I have many more pictures in my Google Photos folder here.You are welcome to come look at the car, or I can assist with shipping (at the buyer's expense). I will accept payment in cash or by cashier's check only. No exceptions.Thanks for looking!Jason-----------------------------------Parts/Repair list:EngineNew distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs, spark plug wiresNew engine accessory mounting bushingsNew HD oil cap sealNew oil dipstick o-ringNew air filter thermostatNew motor mountsNew alternator, air conditioner, and power steering pump beltsNew oil separator box, o-ring, and flame trap kitNew intake manifold gasketNew throttle body gasketNew vacuum elbowsNew 3/8" vacuum hose from intake manifold to brake boosterNew 3/8" return fuel lineNew throttle position sensor o-ringNew injector sealsNew air filterNew vacuum check valve (manifold to climate control)New air intake hose (MAF sensor to throttle body)New oil dipstickNew thermostat (87 degree Celsius)New 0.75 Bar coolant reservoir capNew coolant expansion tankNew water pumpCoolant flushNew timing beltNew timing belt tensionerNew front engine seals x3FluidsEngine oil: Mobil 1 10W30 High Mileage with 1 quart of Lucas Stop Leak (every 5k miles)Transmission: Mobil 1 ATFCoolant: Volvo OEMPower Steering: Red Line 30404Brake: DOT 4Rear differential: Mobil 1 75W90ExhaustNew muffler to muffler exhaust pipeNew tail pipeFuelNew fuel filter and sealsNew fuel pre-pump kit: pre-pump, filter sock, fuel sender seal ringNew main fuel pumpNew fuel pump relayNew fuel pressure regulatorNew fuel pre-pump (warranty)New fuel pump mountsMechanicalNew wiper motorNew windshield washer pump (front)New odometer gear and estimated mileage updatePower steering fluid flushNew washer reservoir capLubricated rear hatch lock actuatorBrake fluid flushNew rear differential fluidNew differential cover gasketCleaned and painted differential coverNew ball jointsTransmissionNew transmission filter and pan gasketTransmission fluid flush - 10 quartsNew transmission mountElectricalNew tailgate wiring harness rightNew tailgate wiring harness leftNew third brake light bulbTwo new license plate light bulbsNew shift indicator bulbNew rear hatch light bulbBodyReglued right headlight lensNew headlight bulbsNew front grill logo - domed polyNew right backup light lensNew (used) antenna retainer clipNew (used) front spoiler bolts and washersNew engine belly pan with new stainless steel bolts and washersNew window scrapersNew left headlight lensInteriorNew Rensi floor matsNew (used) passenger seat adjustment wheelNew sun visor clipsReplaced broken plastic interior bitsRebuilt driver seat heaterNew door pocketsNew (used) interior b & c pillar trimNew (used) center consoleRepaired rear seat latch handleDriver seat vinyl professionally repairedCarpets removed and washed
