Jonathan
Växjö
Basic information and History
Volvo 240, one of Volvo's most popular, recognized and nowadays also sought-after models. A wear-and-tear from Torslanda with a build quality that few can match and which can still be used today for everyday use or pleasure driving. The model has started to gain real cult status on the market and you still see many on the roads thanks to a large availability of spare parts.
This is a Swedish-sold car with just under 160000 km, few owners and a good history. Delivered in 1988 to the first owner and has had only 5 owners since then, the last two of which belonged to the same family. The last 3 owners have only used it in the summer months and driven a couple of hundred km with it per year.
