1988 Volvo 240 Wagon, Babied, 79K Low Miles, 2nd Owner

1988 Volvo240 DL Wagon

This vehicle is an all-original RARE,BEAUTIFUL, LOW MILEAGE Texas car that has been well maintained. THE SIX DIGIT ODOMETER SHOWS ONLY 79,000 MILES.

To my knowledge, I am the second owner of this vehicle. I purchased this vehicle from the original owner who was an elderly college professor in the Houston area who now resides at an assisted living facility. Based on conversation with the family of the professor, the low miles as shown on the vehicle are reflective of the professors 1-mile commute from home to work daily. I use the vehicle for display at car shows, and have traveled along with highway with it without issue. The back seat and third row seat look to have been used very minimally. This car has been driven sparinglyfor yearsand was stored in covered storage. The paint on the vehicle is original and the carhas never been wrecked!!

The mileage on the vehicle is original at 79,000. I still drive this vehicle to car shows and events, so it may have a few miles over 79,000 when it is purchased.

• The vehicle passes Texas inspection without issues.
• The car has the RARE chrome luggage rack and rear-facing third row seat that were installed as options on this vehicle.
• I had the clock and indicator lights in the gauge cluster removed to make them functional, but the odometer mileage was not altered to preserve the authenticity.
• The engine and transmission are original and do not have any modifications.
• The 2.4Lengine is extremely strong and does not smoke or burn oil.
• The wheels on the car are in great condition.
• The tires are BRAND NEWwhite letter wider-series tires that I put on for appearance.
• The interior is in excellent condition for a classicVolvo.
• The bumpers on the vehicle have been repainted and are inexcellent condition. A few scratches on the bumpers are still visible although they were painted.
• The floor pans on the vehicle are solid without rust
• There is no rust on the car, or in the wheel wells or door jambs
• The heat words, and the A/C compressor engages, but the A/C needs to be charged since the vehicle was sitting for a while.
• The interior of this vehicle is in excellent condition. There are two few very small chips in the vinyl of the rear seat that have been repaired. The dashboardand door panels are original good condition, but the map pocket on the driver’s side door has a crack in it.
• The carpet has very minor blemishesthat arecommensurate with the age of the vehicle; there are no major stains or damage to the carpet.
• All of the seat belts, seat belt loops, light globe covers, ashtrays, control knobs are present and are in good condition.
• The headlights are new aftermarket replacements.
• The rear window wiper works, but the washer does not. I have not had this evaluated.
• Theradio is an aftermarket Kenwood and the original AM/FM radio is uninstalled and comes with the vehicle.
• The glass on the vehicle is in great condition, but there are two small repaired rock chips and a larger rock chip (about the size of a nickel) in the windshield that has also been filled.
• The cargo area is in good condition and has the rare rear facing seat and original spare tire. The carpet in the rear area, obviously,shows more wear than the passenger area.
• The original hubcaps and two original-width tires will also be included with the vehicle.

I will also take the vehicle free of charge for a mechanical, or quality evaluation within the Houston area prior to purchase at the perspective buyers expense. I can also take pictures of any area a perspective buyer desires at request.
