The Volvo 240 probably has the best overall build quality of any car
I've ever seen, and are designed to be easy to maintain. The
1975-1980 models have more durable interiors, are easier to work on,
and have less electrical problems. They aren't very luxurious or
quiet, but the 240 Turbo (especially with an intercooler) has
excellent performance. I recommend the wagons, as they are the same
size as the 2 or 4 doors, but have much more useable space. 1981-1988
models have bad wiring harnesses, but are alright if the engine
harness has been replaced. Also be wary of bad blower motors
(difficult to replace). The bodies, engines, and transmissions last
forever, but are not as comfortable or refined as a mercedes.

I seem
to recall these being one of the high mileage gassers
Friend of mine is looking around 1983-1989 vintage.
Are they easy to work on? Any stories?
