I have the possibility to buy a 87 245DL -- 5 speed....187,000 (see below)
I currently have a 92 245 -- automatic, 171,000....Would it be worth it for parts????
And would all the parts be interchangeable?

Thanks - dpdy



'87 Volvo Wagon 245DL white, 5 speed. The car has 187,000 miles on it and needs some brake work, though it can be driven away safely. New Clarion stereo, newish tires (12 to 18 months old), excellent exhaust/muffler, no serious body damage, rot, or rust. Passed inspection in 2003, sticker still good. Front end and suspension good. Good bumpers. All glass and doors are good, beige vinyl interior good except for torn driver's seat (aren't they all?) Clutch and transmission are fine. Lights, horn, turn signals, wipers, all the little stuff works, but for a single cracked tail light lens. Rear seat folds nicely to create the usual roomy cargo area. A/C doesn't seem to work. Fan, defroster (front and rear), heater, all work. Rear wiper is inconsistent.
