It is in good condition, 250k kilometres on the odometer. Two small rusty spots below the back window and a few small dents on the right side, but that is 'character'

We used to have this exact same car 15 years ago.

Nice Bas. Slam that thing and put some BBS mesh wheels for that cool 80s look!

brandrea · 15 January 2019, 12:23 PM

Congratulations

I have a lot of love for the Volvo 240 Bas. That was the first car my wife and I bought and it served us well for 15 years and 500 000 kms

They’re kind of quirky in a cool way, and for whatever reason they were quite Popular a lot of movies

BNA/LION · 15 January 2019, 12:36 PM

Ride Baby Ride! Congratulations!

Not a bad idea, stance it with BBS, straight pipe.

Cool ! My friend had a 240 sedan that he put >200K miles (320,000Km) on it before he gave it to his son who still has it. It's probably >400,000km by now. You can't kill those cars.

Yep! Remove the rear seat, small camping mattress and you're ready to go!

(I did buy it with this in mind though)

andromeda160 · 17 January 2019, 10:13 AM

This thing is awesome, I’d keep a blow up mattress in the back and drive cross country if I had one. Would be the perfect camping/traveling car. Used to have a blast with my 2Dr Tahoe but this thing probably has more space. What are the KPGs like?

Thanks mate!

It's drinking about 10L per 100km, not super fuel efficient.
