Description of 1991 Volvo 240 DL |
I purchased this car in 2009, to recondition for my daughter when she returned from grad school in England. I finished the car, but my daughter decided to stay in England to live & work after graduation. So the car has sat in my storage building, covered, for the past 8 years, coming out in the spring and fall for a bit of fresh gas & Stabil and a short trip up & down the road to warm it up and keep things working. I have the transferable title but have not licensed it after purchase in 2009, just have an old set of plates on it for my short warm-up runs. This beautiful 1991 white Volvo 240 sedan is now for sale, it's time to free up the space in my storage building. I've been driving & maintaining Volvos since the 1970's. We're a vintage Volvo family. Started with a '70 142S, then a '71 142S, '74 145E, '70 164S, '73 164E, '74 164E, '75 164E. Then on to the 240. An '84 245, '86 244, a couple of '87 244's. And our present daily drivers, an '87 244 and '91 240. I had also reconditioned a couple for my kids when they needed cars after high school, an '86 245 and '89 245. I have a lot of experience maintaining these cars, and have enjoyed working on them. The 240-series are great cars, with millions still on the road worldwide. Parts are still readily available. I've gotten good at knowing what they need at what miles. When I purchase one for reconditioning I go over it front-to-back, top-to-bottom, inside-and-out. When I'm finished, they look & run great, ready for another 100,000 miles! Clean body with excellent shine, some minor imperfections but overall very nice. The interior is immaculate. Nothing missing or broken, everything works. In addition to the standard features like rack&pinion power steering, 4-wheel power disc brakes, driver air bagand heated front seats, it also has power windows, cruise control and daytime running lights. And a nice JVC CD Receiver, with VolvoSound speakers in the front & rear doors. Volvo floor mats front & back. My goal was to provide my daughter with a nice-looking Volvo 240 that would reliably run another 100,000 miles. Starts right up, idles smooth & quiet, no check engine light, clean exhaust, runs/rides/handles great. It's ready to go except for the tires, they're worn-out & old, I wouldn't go too far or too fast with them. There's a Walmart Autocenter 3 miles away, I'd recommend placing a ship-to-store order to Brockport, NY for a set of General Altimax RT43 (185/70R14) and then have them mounted on your way home. I've run a lot of different tires on these cars over the years and the General Altimax is by far my favorite, it's like they were designed for the 240, the car loves them, and they're very reasonably priced (59 dollars apiece). Owners Manual is in the glove box. Send me a message with any questions. What follows is a list of the parts replaced & work performed. I try to use OEM or OM parts, European parts as a second choice, US third, …, China last.
