Today I learned that the notoriously frugal Ingvar Kamprad still lives in a modest bungalow and drives a ‘93 Volvo 245 wagon. Rumor has it Volvo wagons served as the template for how large IKEA boxes could be, so long as they fit in the official car of the Swedish people.

How very Swedish.

the owner of my dealership (ultra rich dude) also DDs a 240DL. His is a 1983. He has another one (perfect condition) as a back up

I wish Volvo would name their vehicles like IKEA names their products.

Wonder how much driving he does at age 89..

But sure, a one (multimillonaire) owner 1993 Volvo 240 would be something to buy once he or his relatives decide to sell..

I think he’s a proper billionaire now. Or at least a chamillionaire

Amazing what can be accomplished with a hex wrench and simple instructions.

Also I love the knockoff F1 logo on the back. That’s more 90's than Ren & Stimpy

Probably is, I only found “multimillionaire” in my English vocabulary when I wrote the comment. Which is also true, though not very precise!
