Selling the Volvo

I'm moving ( more on that later) and I need to get rid of my '84 245 turbo (manual).

It's a little rough around the edges but it's mechanically sound. Three Michigan winters have made the rust bug start to show, but so far it's all pretty light and salvageable. The turbo makes lots of boost, and it's got a set of Recaros from an older Trans-am that match the stock interior perfectly. It's also got a momo wheel and a set of IPd's famous swaybars. It's sitting on a (rough) set of extremely rare 15"x 8" Remotec wheels and brand new Falken ziex 912's. I'll include a lightly used set of bilstein HD's (<1000 miles) that I never put on and a head unit to replace the stock volvo junk, along with some random parts and stuff I have sitting around.

$2500. NPOCP? I'm in South East Michigan.

Crack Pipe. You should sell it for much less, maybe $1,000... and to me .

Seriously though, I have had my eye out for an old 240 series wagon, and I am in metro Detroit. It is probably, unfortunately, not the time for me to buy - otherwise I'd at least look at it for $2500. Put it on turbobricks forum (unless you already have, I haven't been on there since last week). There aren't many old bricks like this for sale in Michigan, so it should get some interest.

I'll head over there later for sure, I'm a member from way back. I'll be selling the girlfriends N/A manual '92 240 wagon soon too, and I'd let that go for around $1000. Interested in that at all? I'll get pictures up soon.

I'm going to shopping for a cheap practical car in Michigan, just later in the year.

Looks lovely though, GLWS.

Yes, I may be. I had a turbo fixation before, but I am getting over it.

The nice thing is that her car is late enough that the turbo stuff is easy to get together and it has the fancy electronic fuel injection (the future is NOW). It has its issues, but it's a solid cheap daily.

Dude, I live in metro Detroit and have been looking for something like this.

Yes, but can you afford the Opulence that is a 30 year old Volvo?

I've seen Jerry Maguire enough to know that money talks, man.

Well, if you'd like to have a conversation about my car, let me know here and we can set something up. Like I said, it's rough around the edges, but what it rally needs is a bunch of little things. It's 30 year old car that's been my daily for about three years and I haven't been able to treat it as well as I would have liked to, but it's still a cool car that will clean up super nice.

Yeah for sure, I'd like to check out the car and get more info.

Cool man! reply to this craigslist post about furniture (it's me selling other crap before moving) so I don't have to post my e-mail publicly, and we'll get it set up. :)

No buy if you don't want to invest a weekend and some cash in taking care of the rust. If I had the money, I'd offer you $2200 cash because it'd cost me 300 to drive up to Michigan from NE Missouri. Good luck with your sale, and for sure hit up TB, VolvoForums, and Brickboard if you want it to be seen.

HIS HOLINESS, HELLA BATTLEWAGON

where did you get the wheels? I have been looking for a set of those for my 245 for a long time.
