I’ve found an ‘89 Volvo 240 Wagon, with the pop-up 3rd row seats, with no rust but in need of power steering fixing, an exhaust eventually, and hopefully just an AC recharge. It’s about 6.5 hours away though, I’m thinking of making the trip down tomorrow to possibly buy it, but it’s not a manual, which I wanted. There’s a 740 Turbo wagon with a manual almost the same distance in the other direction. First one is ~$1400, second is ~$2000. Should I bail on going down there to look at the one I will need to do work on and try to figure something out for the other? I like the 240 styling better but I could live with the 740 for sure. GAHHHHHH!

740 Turbo. Then plasti-dip it pearl brown(yes, it exists and is amazing).

740 Turbo. So much more potential, and will end up being the rarest.

Mistake #1 is assuming the 740 won’t need work.

Also, it never needs just a recharge.

Very true on the AC, although I'm used to not having it so I'm not too worried. I think I'm gonna make an offer on the 240 and see what happens.

But also potentially less reliable.

I like to cool my car with the 460 method.

Yeah there are more things that can go wrong, but it’s not that much worse than the 240.

I'm scared to even ask...

4 windows down and 60 mph.

Ah, yep. That method never needs any tinkering.

What if one of the windows won’t roll down?
