Car description

I bought this "brick" two years ago to commute from Chicago area to SE Michigan for client work. I wanted something that was reliable, afe, heap but that had at least a bit of status (I'm in sales development). I've had these cars before and they get just the right attention - classy vintage. These are reliable automobiles with a reputation for safety. I was hoping my step-daughter would want it but she doesn't get cool- yet.Ok, he good: Runs relentlessly. Driven in all weather between Chicago and Detroit with local trips in between. It never stops and is responsive. The color, lack, s nice and shiny and the interior is a brown leather/pleather Volvo was known for - no stains on cloth!. AC and Heater work fine. Transmission is tight and acceleration is probably what it was when new in 1989 - kinda ok but not a dragster. Rides very smooth on fine suspension. Mileage is hard to figure as drive mostly on I94. I would guess between 22 and 25 hwy. Mechanically very good to excellent. Body, ood with potential for excellent.Now the bad. There is one dent in the overhang of the trunk lid. I've had guys offer to fix for $25 a couple of time. Simple repair at the body shop. There is a fine line crack in the dash - very thin - astypicalof this model. Frankly, didn't notice it until after a year. A few of the buttons on the leather trim are gone. Radio antenna's gone. Outside of single dent mentioned, here are small chips on hood and trunk. I was going to touch up but I'm not handy at all. You can do it- they're chips, ot dents. The plastic map holders on doors are gone,This is a great car that screams classy, mart. Safety and style of a particular type (Wife and I were on a home tour of large turn of the century, antastic estates. We counted 4 240's cars in the driveways. Figure it's a fashion thing). For an 1989 regular driver this car is exceptional.The car is for local pick-up only in Arlington Heights, l or Ann Arbor Michigan and is also listed locally.
