Description for Volvo 240 1993
This vehicle is being sold AS IS. If you are interested, I can schedule a time for you to look at the vehicle.The Good:
- Work that has been done to it in the past 3 years:
- Steering coupler replaced on July 2014
- Repaired and spliced fuel return line July 2014
- All four brake rotors were replaced in July 2014
- 3 brake calipers replaced July 2014
- Inner - left tie rod end replaced, left outer tie rod endJuly 2014
- New left rear tail light wiring
- Replaced alternator and mount December 2016
- Replaced muffler, exhaust system, head pipe assembly, June 2015
- Replaced air-flow sensor May 2016
- Heated seats still work
- Interior is in good - not great - shape
- Has had regular oil changes and check-ups every 3000 miles
- Has passed NY state inspection for the year
- handles the snow extremely well, especially for a RWD
The Bad:
- Car does not start - but, it does crank which makes me think this is a fuel-pump issue, which is not an uncommon issue, but I'm not a mechanic. The car was driven perfectly fine for the past year with no problems.
- Has over 240,000 miles
- The air-conditioner does not work. This happens over time and I've seen it happen to multiple Volvo 240's.
- The gas gauge does not work. Mechanic said this is most likely the sending unit within the gas tank - probably 300 to 500 dollars worth of work. I've seen a step-by-step for the 245 on Youtube, but beyond my expertise.
- Door speakers are a bit screwed up - they work, just need to be properly mounted.
- The original radio/tape deck was replaced with a CD player and AUX jack - I guess this could be good, but I'm usually a fan of the OEM parts. That being said, the AUX jack is great for playing podcasts/music off of the iPhone/iPod.
- Paint - its scratched, rusted, has weird spots, all the things that accrue over 25 years.
- Driver's side seat needs new spring support
- Battery was replaced on 31Aug2014 - could use replacing again
The Ugly:
- Rust! This car was driven in Buffalo, NY and Albany, NY. It snows a LOT and they use a LOT of salt - the body has significant rust, but I know it was washed frequently to inhibit the spreading of the rust. I've taken pictures of the rust spots.
