This Volvo 240 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1986 Volvo 240DL was originally purchased from Parkway Pontiac-Volvo of Chesapeake, Virginia, in 1985 and remained in Virginia until 2018 when it was acquired by the seller. Finished in blue over blue cloth upholstery, it is powered by a 2.3-liter inline-four and paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include air conditioning and a JVC CD stereo. This 240DL shows 141k miles and is offered at no reserve with all-weather floor mats, manufacturer’s literature, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.
