the values of the 240's are not keeping pace with the cost of their repairs and parts 200

I think that he is probably correct. I used to sell cars at a (non-Volvo) dealership so I am familiar somewhat to car values. Any car older than 5 years old is virtually worth nothing unless they're some kind of sportscar or collector car. Unfortunately, the Volvo 240 doesn't fall into that category. If I couldn't do the work myself on my car, I wouldn't own one. The only guy in this area where I live that you can trust to work on your Volvos charges an arm and a leg for his work or parts. Case in point- I asked him once if he had a large tach/small clock setup to upgrade my first 245 and he said that he'd sell me the set for $200 (not installed). I went on ebay and got the same set for $30 delivered to my front door. When you go any of the salvage yards here and ask for volvo parts, they give you this guys' name. Welcome to Western Colorado! I hope it's better where you live. It makes me salivate sometimes when I read posts here where some of you all on the east coast can go to a pick-n-pull and get a whole turbo setup to +turbo your car for $500. Those are like the Holy Grail here. Good Luck!
