Used Car of the Day: 1991 Volvo 240
Today's UCOTD is a 1991 Volvo 240 that's the proverbial "driven only to church" car.
The seller's aunt has had this car for over 20 years and there are 169,000 miles on the clock. The seller says it's been maintained by pro mechanics, has always been garaged, and has a clean title. Its sale is part of an estate sale.
There isn't a lot of other detail on the car, but it does look fairly clean in the photos.
This could be a fun car to drop an old V8 in, especially if it has a manual. Just sayin'.
This ride is in Oregon and the asking price is $3,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

THE PINNACLE OF THE S CLASS. THE V 12 Coupe, a bit shorter but much more expensive, and much more rare than the sedan. In Worthless Idiot Joe Biden 2023 dollars, these MASTERPIECES cost a COOL QUARTER MILLION US DOLLARS NEW.
A GREAT Collectible Masterpiece, for those who HAVE a clue.
Auto Illiterates need not reply. (hint: those are the clowns who cannot appreciate AUTOMOTIVE GREATNESS).
"always maintained by professionals"
• Ford Motor Company has always been maintained by professionals
• The Titanic was always maintained by professionals
• Number four reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant... always maintained by professionals
I swear this channel / topic is just for trolling us
Why all the hate??? These were good cars. A bit slow, but beats walking.
