1985 Volvo 240 GL
~148,000 Miles
Auto Transmission, Sunroof, Alloy rims, etc.
Chicago, Illinois

I would like to find a new home for this car, any offer will be considered.

This car looks like a real beater, but has been used as a daily commuter car
up till now. I just upgraded to a newer 240 which is a bit more presentable.

The major issue with this car is that it is quite rusty. No major body
damage, but plenty of rust, a broken grill and one missing headlight trim.
Mechanically, the car is pretty solid except for:

Power steering fluid started to leak about two years ago. Rather than fix
it, I simply removed the power steering belt and have been driving it
without power assistance for two years (suprisingly easy since it is a rear
wheel drive car).

Heater blower motor doesn't work. You still get heat in the car, just no
blower.

Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

It doesn't sound like it's worth much. I would consider parting the car out.
