Description of 1988 Volvo 240 |
Selling a well-restored Volvo 240. Mechanically, his car is in great shape. I have a ton of records going back 10 years, howing regular oil changes, CV servicing, nd required repairs. I bought this months ago as a project car and daily driver. I love this car, ut after driving it to work for a month, 'm realizing I'm somewhat too big for it. The seating and pedal positions aren't great on my ankles and legs. I bought this car in moderate shape, nd put a TON of work into a full restoration of the car to OEM spec. Mechanically, his car is in near perfect condition. I have records for what Bo Jonsson in San Mateo has done on the car, nd receipts for the work I did personally. Interior and mechanicals are all near-perfect. The big downside is the exterior. The car, t some point in its life, ad a very crappy Maaco paint job that's starting to peel and pinhole. The peeling is mostly limited to the trunk area, nd is pictured the best I can. I have much more than $4000 into this car, ut I'm listing the car based on what I think it's worth. I'll entertain offers, specially if you can provide evidence of similar-condition vehicles selling for less.Condition notes (Positives and negatives): + ~146,000 original miles+ Brand-new balanced tires (Primewell, have records)+ A/C+ Heated Seats+ Interior 100% Intact (I've replaced a few broken pieces with OEM replacements)+ No noticeable cracked plastics or torn seats+ Seat lumbar adjustment works+ All interior lights work+ 100% working OE speakers.
