This is a very solid Volvo 240. I am the second owner. 147k miles. This car has had all major service and maintence done by 2 Excellent Volvo Specialized Independent ASE Volvo Certified Master Tech shops; Hubbard Woods Motors, innetka, L and The Swedish Solution in Orange, H. I purchased the car from the Owner of Hubbard Woods Motors a specialist in Volvos and working on Volvos only.The car belonged to the Owner's mother and was sold because she was too old to drive. When I purchased the car it had 28,000 miles on the odometer. This car was my daily driver for over 18 years until it became an extra car as I transitioned to another Volvo just out of personal preference for a 940 Turbo wagon with the same red block engine except turbocharged. This car has more low end torque and faster off the line than the 940 Turbo. The engine and transmission are super solid. Always used genuine Volvo parts including Mann factory OEM oil filter. The factory oil filter has a by-pass valve so that the filter is by-passed upon starting until oil pressure is above a certain level. So because of this the engine gets better lubrication on start up when most wear occurs. Used Mobile 1 Synthetic last 9+ years, he previous years ran Valvoline Dura-Blend semi-synthetic oil, requent oil changes and maintenance. Red Block B230F Volvo engine is amazing as you know engines last 300K+, his engine burns no oil and delivers 22-26mpg+ highway mileage. Idles smooth and starts VERY reliably.
Installed front and rear IPD Massive, eavy Duty, 5mm, lloy Anti-Sway bars designed for the 240 Turbo which gives a profound improvement in handling!!! Handles more like a stiff authoritative sports car drive that can take 25mph exit ramps at double that speed in complete control. *Amazing* improvement in steering response and makes for increased safety! I am a very conservative driver and drive for safety and longevity of my cars. Installed; IPD Poly Bushings in front end, ilstein B6 Heavy Duty shock absorption installed on all 4 wheels: Yellow Struts in Front and Shocks in Rear, etal Braided Brake Hoses front and rear, &N filter.
