Dear forum friends, I am new here looking for your advice. After more than 20 years with leased service vehicles (last Audi A5 convertible) and correspondingly little trouble I am now looking for a youngtimer. Not least through an article in the SPIEGEL from February (2020) I fell in love with the VOLVO 240 or 244 (i.e. not a station wagon, but a limousine). Safety, longevity and – I admit – the ultimate cult factor have done it to me. Now my problem: Ic h is not a screwdriver at all and doesn’t want to become one. My (more measured?) wish: The car should be fun and simply work. (In the calendar year I drive only about 10-12.000 km, but also in the North German winter.) Now I ask myself or you as experienced Volvoians: 1. Do I have the prospect of getting happy with a Volvo 240 at all against this background? 2. How much do I have to invest in order to get a “reasonable” 240er? 3. ng is still acceptable? (Openly a few 100,000 are still completely ok.) 4. The limousine was built by 1993; are the last vintages really the best? 5. Are there types (circuit or automatic, GL or GLT etc.) that I should look for or avoid? I am grateful for any advice or advice (if necessary only for individual aspects) and thank you already in advance for your help!
