'88 Metallic Blue, 5 Speed Manual Transmission, 138,000 Miles, Very Clean for sale
Current customer rating: (288 votes ) based onCar starts every time. runs well. no smoke or colored exhaust and no leaks. I put about 12K miles on the car since I bought it in March '13 from Oskuie Service Center. Inc who specialize in Volvos. I have used Mobil One oil and changed the oil every 3K. Fun car to drive. I had a 242GT when I was in High School and College and I bought this as a project. I have really enjoyed this car. but my kids have been giving me grief about driving an "old car. " When I bought it. I thought my son. who turns 16 next month. would really like to drive it - but he is doesn't get it.
What I have done (about 6. 5K in total invested):
New Voxx wheel and Michelin Primacy MXV4 (195/60 HR 15) tires in April '13 (approximately 12K on them).
New Michelin X-Ice Xi3 snow tires used only winter 13/14.
New Kenwood KDC-BT755HD car radio with Pioneer Speakers - bluetooth radio with remote. SeriusXM and Pandora.
Car re-sprayed factory Metallic Dark Blue in April '13.New alternator in June '13.
New spare tire March '13.
Issues:
The a/c stopped working last summer. A/c was serviced and converted to r134a before I bought the car. I don't know what it will take to get it working. Never brought the car in to get an estimate.
Drove back from the Cape last December in a nasty rain storm and had an issue with the engine hesitating at a certain rpm. After I got home. I changed the spark plugs and the car ran fine. Since then I have noticed a couple of hesitations - nothing that disables the car or causes it to stall. It is like a hiccup every once in a while.
Driver's front seat adjustment large knob off - can use the small knob to adjust seat.
Missing the coin tray between seats but I have used that space as a cup holder for coffee/drinks.
Timing belt was changed at 125K in 2012.
I have a set of the plastic floor sleds/mats - three are in good shape the drivers mat/sled is worn and cracked.
As to the Autocheck mileage issue - the odometer works fine.
I have been asked if the car is available for inspection. The answer is yes. I will be around this weekend. Please send me a message if you would like to inspect and drive the car. Please note that the car is not now registered. but I have a large circular driveway. I am also looking into getting a dealer plate so that the car can be driven on the road.
