The judges have weighed in on that magnificent dismount from the trailer. The US and Canadian judges gave it a 9.5, the Swedish judge a 9.6, the Norwegian judge abstained and the East German judge gave it an 8.3. Seriously though, well done! If you can't keep 'em, rehome 'em!

Nice clean up Dean! Amazing how they turn up so nice after a powerwash ! And that she runs so nice! Thanks for giving this 240 a second/third or sixt chance!

That '92 245 that I had a few years back did something similar. You'd check the oil at a gas station, and nothing on the dipstick. Check it a few hours later, oil all the way up to the seal on the dipstick. It eventually decided to puke oil everywhere. Even lubricated the passenger front Virgo rim that was on the car at the time. Never did find the oil leak. Cam seal was dry, as were the other front oil seals, which were all the modern Volvo gray seals.

Hi Dean, a local Volvo dealer in my suburb insists that there is still a market for the 240 and its derivatives. Given the "disposable" nature of some vehicle manufactures product range at the moment, I tend to agree with his assertion!

Since pressure washing old Volvos seems to be your kink, it might be cheaper to just take your washing gear out to the seller and offer to clean them all versus buying another and dragging it to your place. :-p Just giving ya grief, Dean!
