Condition

Mechanical condition
Starts easily and runs smoothly once the choke has done its job. During a gentle test drive, the steering, brakes, clutch, and shifting were all found to function flawlessly. Regular oil changes, the most recent at 237,060 km, ensure clear and clean oil. A compression test conducted in May showed consistent readings of 12.5 across all cylinders. The overdrive was not tested but is reported to work as intended, as does everything else. The timing belt was last replaced at 187,300 km. Although not inspected on a lift, the underside appeared to be in good condition based on what could be seen. The vehicle inspection service has had no remarks, only praise.
-
Interior condition
The interior is in fine original condition with nice seats and backseat, as well as door panels, trim, and headliner. The backseat has hardly been used and shows no signs of spills or mess. The textile carpets are in great shape, protected by original molded plastic mats. The steering wheel, controls, and instrumentation are also in excellent condition. Everything appears to function well. There are headrests on all four seats. The rear shelf includes a sunshade for the rear window. The cassette radio has been removed for some time, the speakers remain but need a functional check.
-
Exterior condition
The car features a fine original paint job in a solid medium red color with mild usage patina and touch-ups with rust protection on the edges. Glass, chrome, plastic, rubber, and lighting details are all in fine original condition. The wheels are in excellent shape, with shiny trim rings and hubcaps, and good Michelin tires. The engine and trunk compartments are also in fine original condition.

Facts about the model
Over the years, numerous variants and updates were made. When the new 740 model was introduced in 1984, many thought the "old" 240 model had reached the end of its line, but Volvo shifted gears and continued to develop the 240.
Various engines were added over the years, including gasoline, diesel, and turbocharged versions. It was produced in two, four, and five-door body styles. There were different equipment variants, from sportier models to more luxurious ones, but perhaps the most genuine were the DL/GL models, a staple of the Swedish home.
Initially, the GL model was a bit more upscale but eventually became the entry-level model. From 1981, it was equipped with the B23A engine, producing 112 hp.
There were faster cars on the market, but few could match the combination of simplicity, durability, quality, and safety of the Volvo 240, a down-to-earth family car. In total, over 2.8 million Volvo 240s were built between 1974 and 1993, and now this people’s car and 50-year-old has become a collectible.
