helllo all, my name is brad, i am going to be getting a 1991 volvo 240 5spd with 170k miles for $800 from a buddy soon so i thought it would be cool to talk to a few other volvo people and see what the scene is all about.

for any of you who have seen any of the "mischief" DVD's series, i am getting the car from someone who works with those guys, i am friends with all those clowns (check out there forum at teckeast if your a fan) . never had a high end car like this before so i was just looking to find out some more info on them, what are there strong points and weaknesses, is there anything i shouldn't do, like i know with my old car (a '93 saturn) we could never do burnouts cuz the diff pins couldn't take it and would get all fucked up

.

so sorry for any stupid questions, and bring on the flames for the newb.

here are a couple pics of the car i will be getting in about 2 weeks

Welcome to the forum.The 240's are tanks they are great cars.The only thing I would recommend is to make sure the timing belt was replaced at 150,000 miles.Other than that there isn't much that goes wrong with them.Im not sure of the bolt pattern #'s but it is the same as the thunderbird super coupe and the ford taurus.
