This is a 1992 Volvo 240. It's a solid dependable car with good points and not so good points. Please allow me to detail everything I know:

Good points:

1. Engine seems to run very well

2. Transmission seems to shift smoothly and properly

3. No visible fluid leaks or smoke

4. Power windows and power locks all work; headlights and taillights are not cracked and they work.

5. This is a non-turbo 2.3cyl so it gets really great gas mileage.

Not so good points:

1. The blower motor for the heat and A/C does not come on. I do not know why. It could be a fuse or it could need a new blower motor; it has not been diagnosed by a technician yet.

2. The freon has leaked out of the A/C system. I do not know why.

3. The odometer stopped working at 152K miles so the actual mileage is unknown. My guess is that it is around 175K-200K but I can not say for sure. The other instrument cluster functions--such as the speedometer and fuel gauge--still work fine.

4. The tires are not great and should probably be replaced. In addition, the spare is currently mounted on the car because of a blowout of one of the tires.

5. The interior is is need of a thorough cleaning.

6. The paint or clear coat on the roof and the trunk lid has oxidized.

7. The radio antenna should be replaced. The radio does not work because it needs a code and I can't find the code.

8. The grill should probably be replaced since the bottom mounting tabs are broken off and the Volvo sticker is missing from the middle.

9. We haven't been driving it alot lately and the battery seems a little weak as a result. Also, I left the lights on the other day which made it go partially dead. I jump started it and drove it for a day and it seems basically fine but it seems a little weak when starting. It should probably be tested and/or replaced. I noticed that when I jumped it off it started super powerfully but when I went to start it today it started fine but it was a little weaker than when I started it with jumper cables attached. So I think the battery should be checked out. Once started it runs fine of course; it just seems a little weaker than maybe it should be when you go to start it.

10. There are two small rock chips in the windshield. Neither one is in the driver's view path and neither one has spread beyond a tiny starburst.

11. Many little trim pieces both inside and out are damaged or missing and there are various dents or damage to be found in various spots around the car. The car has at least average wear and tear for the year, possibly above average. I don't really feel like listing every dent, scratch and missing or damaged trim piece but you will find several throughout the car.

The bottom line is this: it's a solid dependable car that runs and drives well. The outstanding issues do not prevent the car from being driven across the country right now. The really important stuff is working fine. With a little bit of investment this could be a very nice car again.

Lastly, it may go without saying but this car is sold AS-IS with no warranties of any kind expressed or implied. I am not warranting any aspect of this vehicle's operation or condition. I have attempted to tell you everything I know about the car but I am not an automotive technician and the vehicle has not been inspected by one prior to the sale. Your purchase of the car implies your agreement with these statements.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
