Ok, so I am at the stage of looking for a first car, and I am thinking a Volvo 240 Estate, mainly because it is a tank, and should have cheap insurance. Does anyone have any experience with a this type of car?
Large older Volvos are a solid choice, but look out for rusty ones. I could make a list but here is a handy web page of common issues: http://www.ipdusa.com/techtips/10081/top-10-common-issues-with-volvo-240-models Also: http://www.volvotips.com/index.php/240-260/volvo-240-260-buying-tips/
Maybe you allready have gotten yourself a Volvo. Either way, i had a Volvo 245 with 460.000km on it, started everyday. B230K carburetor engine, so it used alot of gas. Great car, im also going to buy a Volvo V70 2.5 Turbo on sunday.
