This is a "good news, bad news" situation though. Yes, there are LOTS of them, I even saw two very nice looking '80 wagons on the road yesterday, but if you are looking to buy one of those nice ones it is extremely difficult. You can find ads for the old beater 240's in the paper, but the nice ones are hardly ever advertised or seen in the car lots. These cars sell privately to their owner's relatives, friends or friends of friends. Ask an owner of a nice 240 if their car is going to be for sale and they will answer "no", and usually add that if it was to be for sale they already have inquiries aboout it. A couple of years ago I was trying to buy a 1990's wagon, in nice condition. After several weeks with no luck I went through a car broker from Seattle who specializes in Volvo wagons. Through her I got a very nice one-owner, continuously dealer-serviced 92 wagon.
