morch_66479 Hi, Just been searching on Gumtree for Volvo 240 wagons and I was astonished with the price tags on them. Are these models really selling for $5,500 +. Wonder are they at the point where they will begin to rise in value? I Got mine really cheap if that's the case, although I have put bits of money into it over the years to tidy it up. Thanks, Martin
Chris Generally? No. A super exceptional one? Just maybe. But none of the ones I've seen at those $ would cut it for mine. By super exceptional I'm thinking perfect (not good, very good or even excellent), very low km or extensively rebuilt and either way $0 to spend, will also be a rarity such as a very early 1975, or last of the line with airbag wheel etc. Maybe a well modded one but they aren't my thing so can't comment on worth and again the ones I've seen at these $ aren't modded anyway. There's too many decent ones asking under $3k to pull double the money for something less than amazing.

Spac I'm pretty much certain that none of them are selling at those prices, or even close to it. Certainly a market for immaculate ones at good money, but my experience it that most of the "good" ones are really just average ones with deluded owners.
DW42 I like that the owner of the red one is featuring the radio cassette player in the ad like it's a good thing.

morch_66479 I've spotted a total of 6 Volvo 240's on the road this week, it's been the best week of my life :) Only one of which was a wagon and were mostly driven by Hipsters!! haha
Major Ledfoot In these troubled times, when a baby-poop-coloured Datsun 120Y can get 4 grand, anything is possible.
ALVO360 I scored a beautiful 88 240 gl wagon in cream. 1 owner, immaculate and with 6 months rego for $200 from a lady I met at the servo. She just happened to buy a new car and wanted to get rid of it. This was 2 or so years ago. I gave it to a good friend of mine and he wrote it off when he hit a kangaroo...bastard!
