VIEW    READ ONLY    PRINT   SAVE   A    A  can a 240 safely carry 900lbs for 3000 miles? posted by  confused_chris on  Mon Aug 8 16:31 CST 2005 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] [RELATED] I'm in the odd position of quite possibly needing to drive my car from New York to California. At least, I need to get to SF, which is my home, and I've taken a liking to my 1990 240, which I had originally intended to sell at the end of this summer. So I have an offer to transport 900 lbs worth of records between the coasts, in exchange for $350, which under normal circumstances would almost cover gas between NY and CA. But, can my Volvo safely take this load? Will it kill my engine, drop my speed, decrease my gas mileage? Are there any ways to find quantitative answers to these questions? The car has about 170K on it. It's been reasonably well maintained, but enough things have gone wrong in the few months I've owned it that I am a little wary... Thanks again, bricksters...
