Volvo, We Barely Knew Thee: Tony's 1986 245.
We bought this Burgundy Brick on Christmas Eve 2012 from a professor in Ashland, OR. It had 125k miles, complete service records and some needs, and we paid $1,000 for it. We made the 300-mile return trip home that same night without issue. After another $1,000 in parts and labor, it was the low-mile, well-maintained roadtrip-mobile we hoped it would be, except my wife figured out that she just was just totally burned out on 240s. So away it went to a fortunate new owner for $2,500, and we moved on to a slightly newer rig that has airbags and air conditioning, but alas--no third-row seat in the crumple zone.

Ben's 1983 Volvo 244 GLT Turbo Revisited, and Now Sold.
The car is now on its way to Seattle with a knowledgeable Volvo lover and OPCer. In the next year, he plans to give it a new black paint job and eventually swap in a 16 valve B23 Turbo hybrid engine.
1983 Volvo 245DL.
Volvo is well known as some of the safest and most durable cars on the road. Their longevity makes even the older models a great choice for anyone looking to buy a used car. For older cars, replacing hard to find Volvo 245 OEM parts will keep the vehicle running longer and smoothly for years to come.
