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):
