  • Seeking a 240 (or maybe 740, 940) wagon

Hello lovely people! Some of you might remember me from a few years back when I was very active here with my project 240, Veronica the large and in charge manual gold barge.

You were all very lovely, and helped me out so much turning her into a practical classic.

Unfortunately due to some shitty life things, I had to sell her about 3 years ago (which of course was a terrible mistake, but unavoidable at the time).

Long story short, life is much better now, health is on track, and I've finally gotten back into the position to have a fun car on a more permanent basis.

I'd love a late 240 again, but I'll certainly consider a 7 or 9 series if the car is right. Budget is realistic (I hope), and I'm definitely not afraid of a project.

I'm not in any major hurry, happy to wait for the stars to align, but also very happy to chat if you have any leads.

Really I'm just super excited to be back here, and talk to y'all again ?

Welcome back Rico,

A Volvo 240 wagon just got listed on the forums today, though it may exceed your budget: https://ozvolvo.org/discussion/14153/nsw-white-92-240-wagon-b230fx-t-10k#latest

I think there was also a VIC based 740 wagon on gumtree.

Thanks Chris! It's great to be back in Volvoland.

That wag is a beaut, but yes is a bit out of my current reach. Will have a scour on Gumtree though, thanks for the tip!

Welcome back!

Good you have health sorted!

Market Place has many cars come up that don't show up in the Volvo nutters places.

Thanks @Ex850R ! Good to see you're still here :D

Yes, I caved and made a facebook account for the first time in.... 5 or 6 years, just so I can stalk for Volvos! The addiction is real...!

There is a clean 940 wagon with coal interior on Facebook Marketplace at the moment, asking too much in my opinion, but anyway.

@wzrdovryndr Thank you! I'm watching that one closely too. I'll have a chat to the owner when I can, and keep you posted! It looks good apart from the paint...

    No worries, I'm keeping an eye out too as I'm looking for a 740 sedan or maybe wagon so I'll let you know if I spot anything.

      Thanks! Didn't a 740T sedan surface very recently? The black one, not sure if it's the same one that was doing the rounds 4 or 5 years ago?

        Yeah, that one belonged to my mate @irishbastard! Needed some body work which I am trying to stay away from for now, but was maybe even the one that got away.

          Ah that was the same one I was thinking of. There's something about that car, must be that it looks good in black + dark colours.

          89 manual 240 wagon just popped up on the I roll facebook page for $5k.

          @Roinik I was on that like a hawk, but it sold before the seller even responded.

          There are definitely a few around. How unrealistic is it of me to hold out for a manual wagon? Be honest!

          I had two manual wagons over the last few months, an 85 I wrecked and an 89 I sold. I don't have any more but I have a couple of 940s that could suit, I'll send you a message.
