Tossed a different set of wheels on the 240 today...
-
bad picture, but it gives you an idea. shadowline (and mirrors) needs freshening up. the black spots along the bottom are areas where I have applied rust sealer.

Thats quite sexual. Do want.
Make it happen. I just found a car that I would like to pick up, so I'm especially open to cash offers right now.

Do you have a 240 for sale?
My brother LOVESSSSSSSSSSSSS volvo.
and he owns a 1982 240. but he has the first 6 month model with some chrysler box in it? I forgot exactly what. And the part went. And he has called all over. Texas, wisconsin, online stores. The part is expensive and his volvo is in real bad shape. I know he would love another one.

Yes, the white car pictured above is for sale.
Chrysler ignition is what they used for 5 or so years on the non turbo cars.... and it sucks. My other 240 has it right now, but I'll be throwing that out when I swap that car.

There we go. That's what it was. How much for the white car?
-
I think I would take $2000.

What kind of car did you find outta curiosity?
Another Volvo. 1998 S70 T5 SE. Nothing terribly special about it, other than that it's clean, and the SE's are a bit rare (it's primarily an interior thing).
i've had a little list in my head of cars that I think would be satisfying
-volvo 850
-volvo s70
-e36 m50/52
-e34
-maybe e30
-e39 (but that's starting to get spend)
that's all that have really come to mind... e36 and s70 are the ideals. not sure which i'd prefer as they each are better in certain ways.

Thank you. It doesn't get really any love. I know its because its really nothing that special. But it is to me. My little brothers 2002 gets all the love amongst older men. I've been in the car with him and no joke. People will give big thumbs up for his car. LOL I have gotten one.

Thread jack because Jockhater2 mentioned thumbs up. I had a mid 30's lady give me a wave and a wink kiss thing. And she speed ahead of me in her minivan, and on the rear windscreen, it said,"My other car is an E30 M3". I pooped. Was such a shock! LOL
prolonging the threadjack
I never get any thumbs up or anything like that. Now if I had a Cavalier with the Z24 package, I'd drive through West Allis and have a fan club before I hit the other side.
-
DAMN. LOL, Z24 Cavaliers. You choose to live in West Allis! I'd move!
here in Madison, no one know's what my car is. Not even the car people. I hate this town, there is few BMW owners here. An the one's who own them, their parents bought them, or they don't know what they're talking about. -

jeebus, only $2k for the white volvo?? Dammit all, I wonder how much it would increase my payments to pick up another car.....
yep, i feel $2k is fair and I don't want it sitting around for a while so I'm not going to try to wring it out for all it's worth.

I think it looks great. Seems pretty special to me!

When I say its not "special". I mean. The car of course has no real history. Not compared to the 2002s. Which everyone loves to death. And I love my brothers car. Its just. Mine is restored...and his isn't. Yet he gets all the love. makes the older brother all jelly. And the reason mine is special to me. Is because it was the last project i got to do with my dad.
Your price is EXTREMELY FAIR. If you check ebay/craigslist. Because of everyone knows that volvo's can last 500,000 +. They try to ask $3,000 for ones that have 250,000-300,000 miles. Which is obviously ridiculous. Regardless if the car has another 200,000 left in it. Miles still depreciates the value.
I told my brother. I just gotta show him your pictures.
To be honest. I would be interested in it if I was looking for a car. Because I want a wagon to replace my jetta with. Whenever the car meets its maker. Even though I would feel guilty if I got a wagon as clean as yours.
