Buying a low mileage 1992 240 DL 200 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be Michael C. on  Wed Aug 25 12:54 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Since my son needs a reliable vehicle to move around in the college campus, I have been looking for a low mileage car, preferably a Volvo for him. We currently own a 1986 245 DL with 220K miles and it is very reliable.

Recently I found this 1992 240 DL with only 70K+ miles on it. The car has its normal body scratches and dings, nothing major. The two wheel hubs on the passenger side are damaged but still firmly attached to the wheel rims. The tires are OK (with about 40% thread left). A plastic piece (of the front bumper, passenger side) is loose and hangs from the front bumper close to the front fender. But the seller does not have all the maintenance records since her father kept them. The seller wants $4900 and no less.

Is this a good deal or bad deal? I am in California.
