Hi boys `n girls.

I`m the proud owner of a 1986 245GL.First Volvo I bought about 2 years ago.

Currently has 194,500 mi.Clean cond.Leather interior in good shape.Winshield leaks! No rust 2nd owner.Some electrical gremlins but mechanically fine.Burns no oil.leaks small amt.Recently replaced EWH, battery,water pump,radiator,master cyl.,rotors and pads.Needs blower motor.Auto tranny could use rear bushing/front seal.Needs bushing replacement thruout suspension.Middle exhaust needs replacement soon.Alloys need to be redone.Probable the AMM needs replacement-runs plugged/unplugged.OD sensor gets wacky sometimes.(Hey,you don`t own these cars you have a relationship with them)!Friends and family don`t understand.What I know is that this car will likely last longer than anything they`re driving!Peace to all and have a good night!

Jim S.Middletown,CT-Lots of 240`s here.
