Daily Driver Restored 1989 Volvo 240 Blue
1989 Volvo 240 DL Description
Update I recently purchased a turbo wagonthat I fell in love with. Time to part with this awesome Volvo that drives likea new one.
Last year I bought this vehicle and put about 2000$ into it:
-New Gas Tank
-New exhaust system from engine to muffler-New Windshield wiper fluid pump
-New Alternator
-New shocks FRONT and REAR
-New Sony Bluetooth Radio/CD andsubwoofer wiringin trunk (keeping sub for new car)
-New front windshield
-New Front Rotors, Brakes, Brake lines (front)
-Front end alignment
-New Tires
-New rear taillights and front corner lights
-ALL power windows and Locks work perfectly (rare feature)
This car is my daily driver when not driving my Toyota Sequoia in the winter or Towing my boat. It has been very reliable and drives smooth at all times. Body is in amazing shape, all surface rust and minor imperfections for its age and reliability. There are two small rusty sections under the wheel well which can easily be sanded and primed ( minor body work)...car was owned by a Volvo collector back In the day, comes with some old maintenance records
Here is what is wrong with the car:
-A/C compressor is frozen (old Freeon system) I have a new A/C compressor to throw in with the car
-Heated seats don't work ( could be easy fix, never messed with it)
-Horn and High Beam light is a little sticky (some times works, sometimes doesn't)( they sell new switches on ebay for 10-20$)
-odometer stuck at 215k I have no clue what the mileage is but is probably way closer to 215k then 300k.
- I lost the alternator tension adjustment screw.. as of now I have to tighten the alternator bolt once every 2 months, I installed a 12V gauge so you can see if the belt is loose and not pumping out 13.7 volts...- Have no idea last time timing belt was done. Fortunately this is a well engineered NON interference engine, so if the timing belt ever snapped, you just replace, doesn't blow up the motor
I amselling due to buying afun turbo model, and prefer AWD or Front so I can drive in the winter...I am open for other vintage/luxury type cars for trade.. If I were to sell this car is would be worth 4k to me based on its reliability and money I spent to get it there. this car was made to last 1 million miles. its a VOLVO... email me the car you are considering looking at the car prior to bidding.
