Re: before buy a 1991 Volvo 240 Wagon 200 1991

not sure what you ment...shaking when stopped. if while stopping, might be the rotors which arnt a big deal. the car at that mileage if well taken care of should run smooth / without hesitation (sounds like this one does). the mpg should be around 25 at least (i reciently got 29 mpg on my 1990 244). the insurance should be on the low side of cheap, comparatably speaking. the car, fundamently, is as safe as you'll ever get. the rust does bother me however. look underneath the rear passanger side doors (floor pan). aside from that area being rusted through, across the entire car, the intregraty of the cars safety is probably still there (i hate rust). if you're not mechanicly inclined, take it to a volvo shop (hopefully not a dealer) and have them go over it...about $45.00 in my neck of the woods. if all is fundamently well...and considering everything is negotiable...offer him low $2K and go from there...you're not too bad off though at $3K (but i hate rust).

best of luck on your new pruchase.
