1990 Volvo 245 GL

Basic information and History

Domestically sold Volvo 245GL with an impressive 550,000km on the odometer with only one owner since new! The car is well equipped with, among other things, level regulation on the suspension and A/C. Considering the mileage, the car is in good used condition and, according to the owner, runs fine. Amazingly, there is only a little rust on the bodywork, which, given the mileage, confirms the owner's care of the car. The car has a fully stamped service book until 2015.

1. Swedish brick, Volvo 245 GL with one owner since 1990!
2. Impressive 550,000 km and with surprisingly little rust
3. Fully stamped service book until 2015

Equipment and Options

Well equipped with, among other things, level adjustment on the rear suspension as well as A/C and heated seats. There's also a tow bar, cargo rack and a set of retrofit fog lights for a hazy autumn morning.

Condition

Considering the mileage, the car is in good used condition. The car is free from worse dents, scratches and door knocks. There is a small amount of rust, including some rust on the inside of the rear wheel arches on both sides and some rust at the bottom of the left rear door. The paintwork is intact but starting to dull. The rear fender on the left side has been repainted below the moulding. The work was carried out by Volvo workshop and looks very good. Glass panes are unremarkable. The rims are free of damage and a set of new summer tires are fitted. The tires have only been driven a few miles in the summer of 2023. Winter tires are also included.

The interior is described as being in good condition. Seats and rear seat have held up very well and are fresh for their age. Door sides as well. There is minor wear and tear here and there, which is to be expected, but nothing glaringly bad. The outside temperature gauge does not work. Buttons, steering wheel and controls in good working order. The inner ceiling is nice. Except for the the outside temperature gauge, the stereo, A/C and other functions work as intended.

The engine is described by the owner as running very well. It has been a couple of hundred miles since the trip meter stopped working and it has thus rolled approx. 550,000 km. The gearbox and driveline are described as being in good condition, but the owner feels that the gear lever is somewhat "soft", but shifts fine. Mechanically, everything works as it should.

Feel free to look through the pictures of the car to get an idea of the condition. Questions can be asked directly in the question field and answered by the owner himself.

Service history

The car has a total of 19 service stamps in the book and extends from when it was new until 2015-10-05 when Bilia in Lund serviced the car. The last inspection was carried out in October 2022. The car comes with two extra front seats and two boxes of spare parts.

Summary

Swedish classic that has only had one owner since it was new! The car is in a nice used condition and has been well taken care of during the years the car has driven an impressive 550,000 km. The owner is an old Volvo enthusiast who has driven a Volvo PV and never owned anything other than Volvo cars. A fun example with a long history.
