We just got an '85  240DL which will primarily be my brothers car.
AMAZING shape. It was owned by my boss whos a car collector....it
never really got driven....all rust taken care of, new everyhthing. It
couldnt have been much nicer new. what a nice car. I've always been a
big fan of the volvos, especially the wagens. Did anyone know there
was a 240DL diesel model (rare) that came with a VW 1.5L diesel (I
think 1.5....it wasnt a standard US engine). And a stick shift
version.

The volvo XC wagens are very nice if your looking for a new car. X70R
stick shift is nothing short of incredible.

I've met alot of happy volvo owners lately, and they all believe its
the most versitle car in the world. I never cease to correct
them...."its the SECOND most versitile car in the world, have you ever
met a VW bus?"
