True story. I was in college and my car was totaled. So I needed a car since I was commuting to school not living on campus to save money. Had 300 dollars, went to a used car lot and bought the only 300 dollar car, a 1978 Volvo tan station wagon. It had the rare 5th gear electric overdrive that used a switch on top of the shift knob. Anyway, it had 250k miles,on it, I changed the oil and put brake pads on it. Got another 250k on it before the body started falling off it. It had just over 500,000 miles when it was sold for 300 dollars back to the guy I bought it from. Well a couple guys were restoring a late 70s Volvo and contacted the guy with my old one with the rare overdrive and they went to open up the engine and transmission but saw they looked great and simply put new seals in it and called it good, this was for a higher end restoration. The old Volvos rocked period!

I own a 1992 740 wagon. It has over 420K miles and driven daily. It’s been in my family since new. No rebuilding of engine or transmission. Has never had valve cover removed. No accidents and paint is still in great shape. Driver seat will need recovered but rest of interior is great. I have been to 38 states in it and to my knowledge it has never needed a tow or left anyone stranded. I recently purchased a 1993 240 with 126K miles. It is in great shape and service records from new. I got it as my sons first car. If he takes care of it no doubt he can pass it on to his kid someday in the future. These cars were built to last a lifetime. No car will ever be built like these again. I will drive these until I’m no longer able to drive.

[@hoppysport2872]

I had a 1982 Volvo GLT manual Turbowagon...Silver with blue cloth interior. I put 175,000 miles on it in 5 years and it was bulletproof. I sold it in 1987 to a Manhattan chicken restaurant for deliveries. It's still their primary delivery vehicle. I then leased a manual 1988 SAAB 900 Turbo, black over tan leather. Awesome car. Then I bought a 1991 Toyota Cressida, white over gray leather. Sold it in 2011 for $9,600 with 195,000 miles on the clock...and it needed a head gasket. The purchaser is still driving it. My current car is a 2008 SAAB 9-5 with 93,000 miles. It's as reliable as any car I've ever owned. Hope to keep it for another 10 years.

[@chrisj197438]

Bill Feinberg Sounds awesome!!!!

[@hoppysport2872]

That 1993 240 will go forever. it even has an airbag. Frankly I wish that I still had my 1982 GLT Turbowagon. I always loved upgrading it from IPD in Oregon. The Swedish made great cars. I always coveted a P1800ES. Unfortunately I live in Manhattan, where parking is impossible and expensive. People criticize GM and the later SAABs. All I know is that my 9-5 is just about the safest car on the road, gets 32 mpg on the highway, is comfortable, reliable, and parts are plentiful and reasonable.

[@boobsthechemist2067]

That’s incredible to hear it’s still being used daily by you with over 400k on the clock. Built to last. Hopefully it’ll last another £200k & more years of happy motoring 😀👌

[@phobod1]

My first car at 17 was my family's Volvo 240 DL wagon, with the 5th gear overdrive feature... let me tell you, that car was fuckin awesome. Not only was it an absolute tank, but it was also unbelievably comfortable, had the plushest leather seats ive ever sat in, had so much room for activities, and best of all, the car lasted over 25 years without any major repair, just regular maintenance. That car quite literally saved my family's life in 2 accidents, and barely sustained a few dents in both instances. I absolute adored that thing and it made me a volvo owner for life, having had 2 now since then in the past 12 years.

There will never be a more reliable car than a Volvo 240. My parents had a couple of 240s when I was a kid and a 760 turbo passed down from my grandmother. Every single one made it over 300,000 miles with basic maintenance. The 760 turbo was finally scrapped in 2014 with 518,000 miles and not because the engine was junk but rather the body rot from all those New England winters. In fact the drive train never came out of that car. It even had the original alternator Just unbelievable cars.

I know this is an older video but ive become such a volvo fanboy at this point that I want my first car to be a volvo, especially an older one

[@ttngarage]

Get it, man! ;)

[@birdervomdeister497]

I drive a 240 Wagon and waited for this Episod so long. Did it great as expected. Volvo for life

[@Swaglord-ry8vw]

This guy is so funny, hilarious, and intelligent all at the same time, that I had to subscribe to his channel! His enthusiasm, and knowledge of cars, and history of them makes the show a joy to watch!🤩👍

[@michaeltutty1540]

I daily drive a 1990 240 wagon ma bought new as her 60th birthday present to herself. She put the first 300,000+ km on it. In the last 5 years I have about doubled that. Arthur just keeps going strong. As for emissions, his unburned hydrocarbon output is 25% of the allowable limit. They truly are tanks.

[@mannen12233]

The "T" in GLT does not stand for Turbo. GL = Grand Luxe. GLT = Grand Luxe Touring. GLE = Grand Luxe Executive.

[@Fallen_Angels]

Yeah my 96 850 glt ain't a turbo lol.

[@jeremiahboria9173]

listen just a joke but nice info :D

[@mannen12233]

Jeremiah Boria Yeah, wasn't really sure if he was sarcastic or not but wanted to make that clear for other people that maybe actually belived that T stood for turbo.

[@mannen12233]

Fioaoiudou Yeah i have a 744 GLT and the orginal motor was a 16valve and not a turbo

[@nevergiveafuck404]

orignal motor? whats in there now, tho?

[@jackmurphy7080]

I have been waiting on this for ages. I drive a Volvo 940 2.3 turbo. And it is class.

[@craazyy22]

One question. what colour?

[@jackmurphy7080]

craazyy22 charcoal pearl metallic grey.

[@kallecan]

Same here, I drive a 240 wagon from 1980. I love it

[@jackmurphy7080]

kallecan wagons/estates (as I call them) are the best

[@Paskalion]

back in 2002 my dad bought a used volvo 240 (manual). i was 19yo back then. it was a very fun car to drive, and its feels so safe driving it, like driving a tank (minus the slow speed). that car was my dad's daily drive, and just 2 years ago it stopped working. my dad don't want to keep repairing it, so he bought a used 740.

[@shelbyjones7770]

I enjoy how the plug for the OBD2 ad exists on a video for a OB1 car

[@MurphyFamily0210]

I want to second that request for an Up to Speed on Doug DeMuro from yesterday (or whenever it was)

[@suspicioususer]

HE's THE QUIRCKIEST REVIEWER YOU'VE EVER SEEN *cut to Doug laughing while driving a car HERES EVERTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO GET UP TO SPEED ON DOUG FREAKING DEMURO

[@maxxas5067]

Murphy Family what did Doug do?

[@LEE-337]

I'm surprised I didn't see a clip from the movie "Four Brothers" where they're talking about how safe the Volvo is.

[@Fixin-To]

Lee Bays I was waiting for the Robocop ad

[@Mastermindyoung14]

I've had a 242 for 20+ years. It makes 1000hp and doesnt have a single spot of rust. Its my pride and joy

[@efkastner]

My first car was a blue 1979 Volvo 242 DL with a 4 speed manual. And it for sure saved my life when it got t-boned.

[@_Graves]

Just how much effort you put into making advertisement user friendly is awesome! In fact I could watch your "FIXED" ad's all day! :D

[@DamonMM]

This is EVERYTHING you need to know to get Up To Speed... on the Toyota Prius. Do it. u_u

[@alterego9791]

No thanks.

[@jebediahgentry7029]

No no no no no no no no no

[@alecfleming373]

Actually not a bad story, esp the pollution truths of manufacturing.

[@PixelVarnox]

i'd love to actually see them do this because it'd probably be pretty funny

[@svanefossen]

YES Mmm... Prius is... Uhhh Uhhhhhhh

[@matissemaaskant2383]

volvo rules. The styling makes me think about those 80s and early 90s Bentleys, I love them.

[@SamvanRIjswijk1]

My 1995 Volvo 850 T-5 has 400000km on the counter now, and it still runs like a charm:)

[@earlhudson9604]

I really appreciate the knowledge that you have shared about the Volvo 240. I own a 1987 model, and it is interesting to learn what it takes to keep her "Up to Speed". Thank You

[@handsofdoom119]

We want Volvo 850 - Up to speed

[@slimpelarius]

AMEN, preach on brother. And add classic V70R while you re at it.

[@lookcloser4536]

Henry Cejudo Let’s make both: the R/Polestar label :)

[@fucciny9790]

Not the 800-Series, please.

[@lookcloser4536]

Fucciny why not ?

[@landshark_e2498]

I got a beautiful 1992 Volvo 940 Turbo that has 200,000 miles. No one really knows about the 940, but it's way under rated. The thing is indestructible, ran on a blown head gasket for 2 weeks until it gave up to to overheating, put more coolant and kept running. Eventually, the cars air filter got flooded when we took the radiator cap off, we fixed it, and it still runs like a beast to this day 👌

[@tkyz2377]

Just recently bought an 88 240 GL, never looking back

[@coolL9457]

That ad transition was so smooth and well done it actually took me a decent few moments to realize it was the ad comin on at the end... Well done Donut Media!

[@Phoenixxps3]

You guys did NOT just use Toby as a NHTSA admin 😂😂😂

[@MassFlow85]

Lol I just asked if that was Toby. Im glad Im not the only one who noticed.

[@nowahblanco9935]

"volvo wanted to make cars for people, which i know, sounds obvious. what are they gonna do, make cars for dogs?" whoever is the the new writer, give him a god darn raise cause he deserves it

[@copyrighter9369]

honestly thank you for making this i remember always asking to make a video of this way esrly on and ya did it! thank you

[@amg973]

"Throwing his Volvo 240 round with gay abandon" I laughed like a 3rd grader. Not gonna lie

[@juhoqqeli]

[@juhoqqeli]

[@LKRG]

[@bakingames9844]

I own a 1991 Volvo 240 and it’s the best car I ever driven and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned

[@trickey9540]

One of my dream cars is a 240 wagon. They’re not the most amazing looking cars by any means but I love them a lot and I don’t know why.

[@rikzwambag1030]

Yaaaàaaaaas, I'm so happy you made this video. I accidentally opened KZbin and saw the video and screamed out of happiness
