Soliciting advice... 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be Taryn on  Sun Nov 19 12:19 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I have already posted my Volvo in the classifieds section of the site, but I wonder if I could solicite anyone's advice?

Having purchased a new car, I now need to (with pain and suffering) get rid of my dear '82 DL wagon. Unless someone is willing to take it for parts, or put some money into it (at least 2000$) I fear it is going to the crusher. Perhaps this sounds ridiculous, but after the many years of reliable and loyal service, my own psych (and selfish ego I suppose) can't handle the thought of such a horrendous fate. So I'm attached to the car, so what? Lets not get into why I didn't fix it, THAT'S a bone of contention we don't need to chew.

So my question is this. I live in the Boston area. Does anyone out there know of a mechanic who needs a parts car, or a yard that is specifically geared to Volvos? If I have to send it to the graveyard, does anyone know of a Volvo graveyard near to me?

Thanks very much. I know its stupid, but I want it to go to be useful, not just to rot. I think it's my own guilt.

    /// There are charity donations possible but the recent TV documentary evidence is that some of them are scams. Keep advertising as long as you have room to hold the Volvo.

      Unfortunately I cannot hold it for much longer. I just feel badly about it, since despite the engine problem, it is actually in good shape body wise. I've called my local high school, but they haven't responded yet. I will keep trying. My last resort is the Kidney Foundation, but I would give it away if I knew it would be used rather than just smushed! Thanks for the advice!

    Donate it to a local high school auto shop program. Something for the kids to experiment with.
