1989 Volvo 240 consumer reviews

Have owned 3 240 series Volvos plus 3 other models and inherited my mother's 1989 244 DL sedan with over drive in 2003 automatic ...today, 7/19/23, car is still going strong, 261K miles, 25-28 mpg!!🥰🥰

Drive smooth and safe. And I own it for 20 yrs now and still going with 250,000 miles on record. Wish Volvo still make this model.

I love driving my 240 because I know that it was made so well - so much better than any car on the road today. Mine has a little over 200,000 miles on it (I'm the third owner) and I now it'll just go on and on...Love that about it. However, like any car, you do have to keep an eye on it. Mine is 29 years old so you need to make sure you're keeping an eye on rust issues. You have to take care of it. It's also great knowing that it's one of the safest cars ever made. That makes me feel better when one of my kids borrows it from me.

This is the most solid vehicle I've ever owned. It is easy to work on and parts are cheap. It never fails to start and the body is still is great shape after almost 30 years. Interior plastics have failed and it isn't the zippiest car, but those are the only complaints. I recommend it as an inexpensive, safe daily driver.
