Re: Volvo 240 vs. Renault Alliance (R-9) 200 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be Peter Hertzing on  Fri Nov 10 08:16 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I would go with the renault. When the engine melts down, next week, the convertable top makes it much easier to transform the car into a planter. With the volvo it would still be taking up space in the garage and requier insurnace since it would still be running.

Really go with the 240 not only can you still buy parts, it is safe. also at 101,000 miles, the renalt is really at the end of its useful life and the 240 with 140,000 miles is 1/2 to 2/3s of teh way through its uselful life.
