1986 Volvo 240 DL Description

This is my daily driven wagon that I have owned and maintained for about 3 years now. I'm looking to downsize my collection of Volvos so it's up for sale. It's a 4 speed manual with electric overdrive and this combination is fairly rare on a 240 station wagon. I drive it almost every day.
It's a strong running car and I have taken it on several road trips. It's been a reliable daily driver but is not perfect. The tires have tread but are a little old now, there is rough idle, but it drives fine and the motor has strong compression. The transmission shifts into all gears fine and runs good, but I do not know when the last time the clutch was replaced, I have not experienced any slipping. There are no oil or coolant leaks.
The body is rust free, but the roof and hood have clear coat fade, the rear passenger quarter panel was also damaged by the previous owner, but it does not affect the function of the rear door or gas door. There are also a few door dings and dents throughout the body. The interior is pretty clean, the front driver seat cover is torn and the leather underneath have a few tears but all the other seats have been covered and are in good condition
It's been a very reliable car for me but please remember it is still a 32 year old car
