Used Volvo 240 for Sale

I purchased a used Volvo 240DL from a dealer in Venice, Ca. This car was to provide transportation for my new family. The model is unaffectionately referred to as a refrigerator on wheels, alluding to it's rectangular shape. This particular model was beige, had a working stereo and 140,000 miles. The transmission was a four speed. The car drove very well. The car was very safe. Even given its age, our 4 cylinder model still got around 20MPG average (city and highway). The comfort and accessories were nothing to write home about, but the seat belts worked, and despite a couple of cracks the dash still held together well.

This is the best, most functional car on the market. The standard Volvo 240 has ample space for five passengers. Some models have the available jump seats in the rear, behind the rear seat. The best part about this car is that the rear seat folds flat. Now this is not like the fold flat offered in cars where the seat is near flat, but it is flat. Real flat. This car is a truck from the Swedes. The seats are comfortable and plush for long distances. The controls are well laid out and easy to use. Downside is the aged drive train which uses more fuel than the average new car. Average fuel economy is about 17 miles per gallon.

This car is no luxury vehicle, but I loved the way it looked. I had a shiny silver station wagon, and she ran like a champ. Had been, since '91. It looked cute- this was when Volvos still had a signature boxy style, and looked like the kind of cars kids draw when they are very small, all blocky. I had little maintenance to do on the car considering its age. It had tons of room, which was great as I moved frequently. It was easy to drive and responded pretty well. It was in the shop fairly often, but not as much as you might think for a car of her age. I felt like I was driving an armored vehicle, the body was so sturdy. When I got in an accident, everyone told me I was lucky to have been driving a Volvo when it happened.
