That is pretty funny.

The 240 is the quintessential, long lasting Volvo. What wonderful cars.They are what lots of people conjure when the word "Volvo" is uttered. Derived from the 140 cars, starting in 1968, they were produced for a long time, '93 were the last ones, so you have one of the late ones. They weren't fast, but if you don't mind fixing wiring harnesses and biodegradable headliners and plastic, you have a car worth running forever. Plus they are REAL comfortable and safe. But you probably knew all that, anyway.

That Prius is going to need a new battery pack one day, and that is going to cost a LOT, probably $5,000 to $7,000 - if she can find one. Plus they are flimsy, won't hold up well in a accident at all.
