ARE VOLVOS WORTH IT

...

No

maybe

only the RWD ones (240, 740, 940) and only if they've been LS swapped

thanks

Yes.

the 240/740 seem too be the best choices. Too bad LS swapping is illegal here

how do these compare to the similar-looking w123 benzs?

Yes, especially the red block models. They're all pushing thirty years old and up, so things will need replacing and maintenance like any old car, but they're cheap to keep running and fucking refuse to die. I bought one with 320,000km on it and used it for courier work, putting down 1000-2000km a week on it. Got it up to about 360k before the original fuel pump crapped out and sold it to some guy. Still had the original clutch in it too. I saw it about a year later on the highway, still going strong. I've had two 240s and currently have a '71 144.
