Hey Scotty that's a pretty nice station wagon I'd be proud to drive that, I remember some of the old station wagons had the back seat facing backwards those were the days
That's a 740 DL right?
@@ThomasWBaldwin Or a 9 series but definitely not a 240.
The XC90 was good too.
What year model was the Ford Explorer? I never heard it mentioned...🧐😎
Paid 1000 bucks for my first car a Volvo 240. It had 120k miles. Drove it til 230k. Sold it running and still had only done regulat oil, changed the brakes once. Couple other things. Amazing car. 5 speed manual
A 1966 Volvo P1800s held the record for highest mileage. At the owner's death in 2018, the car had travelled 3.2 million miles.
That Volvo did have 2 engine rebuilds, though it's still extremely impressive.
That's almost 5 million kilometers, damn
@@DeeDee-pw9pm For 3.2 million miles, I would've expected way more engine rebuilds. Genuinely impressive.
@@Joshua-yt8ul Old(er) Volvos were generally overbuilt and under low stress for long life.
Good undercoats too for the Swedish winters.
old is gold. people had morals back then. weren't out to rip people off at every opportunity. life was simpler but happier.
People still have morals, but unfortunatley technology/software and electronics ( not mechanical engineering) has infiltrated car design. Volume is high and competition is higher. Obsession with software subscription monetization has gone too far.
Every one is out to rip you off unless you learn otherwise 😢
Super true!!! It's really amazing how people changed now and companies changed and everything is politics and strategic planning!!! It's so bad!
This 50-something agrees.
You were simpler, numb nuts. Apartheid still existed in south africa when that toyota pickup was made. You just had more to keep you busy and were more ignorant of what was going on in the world.
Throughout the late 90s, enron was busy creating the greatest fradulent business in American history. So there was plenty of immortality too.
They drove like a brick from the time they were new. So no surprises that it drives like a brick now. An era before planned obsolescence was king.
They look like bricks, but don't drive like bricks.
They're smooth and comfortable.
@@DeeDee-pw9pmbrick probably as in plain and simple no turbos and need for updates or lcd screens and crumple zones etc
Good quality comes from KEEPING THE WORKERS HAPPY. IT'S SO SIMPLE and they still won't do it.
They rather have robots do the work, so the CEO can make more money.
Even an old Volvo is better than any EV.
sure is. i would bet my life in Death Valley on it.
You put good oil in them and keep up with your servicing, you'll have them a long time. And you'll do more for the atmosphere, than by buying ten EV's, with all the costs nobody really wants to talk about.
@@CrimeVidWhat are some of the costs nobody wants to talk about?
Didn’t you say the same thing about horses when the transition to automobiles began?
@@sdcoinshooter No. The automobiles save the horse. And the automobile has been perfected over the years.
Oldest colleague I know had a 91 Toyota Pick Up. Vehicle still running, now driven by his son, other than new paint, a solid vehicle still running the five day work week.
I miss my 1995 Red Toyota Tercel 2dr with 4 speed manual transmission. That car ran forever and never needed any major repair. The interior fell apart before the engine or transmission. The whole car paint was faded.
I had an '86 Tercel I bought used - living in Northern PA and I had a 53 mile each way commute to Ithaca, NY. In the dead of winter snow all over and 20 degrees outside, I'd put my toothbrush in my mouth, go out and start the Tercel, go in and finish brushing and come out and that little trucker was blowing heat already! It was a 4 speed manual and she wasn't fast but she never left me stranded and just kept going and going. I still miss that car one of the best I ever had
So sad that American cars quality control went so far down the shitter
Most ecoboost fords are solid now
The capitalist system is ruining everything. From entertainment, our food, and mandatory transportation.
I had a 240 then later replaced it a 760 and my final volvo was a 780
All of them are simply NON DESTRUCTABLE
A decent 1st or 2nd gen Toyota pickup for $2500 is unheard of in today's used car market. Lol
Colleague got 424,000 out of his 740. He only sold it due to the rust. Has never had a car he’s liked like that one since.
The best vehicles have already been made.
I’m still driving 2003 Ford Explorer.
It’s running like a clock, although it’s done only 150K miles so far.
Just change oil and filters regularly and the usual upkeep procedures like plugs and stuff.
no transmission or differential problems? you are lucky! Oh, do you have that crack on the back lift gate? I still have my 2003 explorer with 116K miles on it
@@showdogmissy no transmission, deferential problems …but the crack is there and I think I should’ve greased the lock’s tongue..it’s a very dependable car with minimal running cost
The window crank on my 68 Chevy Caprice was a needle-nose pliers. 👌
😂😂😂
Had a friend who used locking pliers for that. Was a nice look.
Lucky the heater core isn't dead. It is literally BURIED in the dash. My family had a 760 wagon and the heater was gone. We lived in Salt Lake City. SLC has FOUR SEASONS. 🥶
The 760 had a renault pigeot v6. What garbage that dog was
The best power train is non-turbo engine and manual transmission. It will go forever.
I just bought a 1990 volvo 240 wagon as a project car for $3k, replaced the PCV system and cleaned up the ends of some of the vacuum lines so far. Might have to look into replacing the o2 sensor and doing a trans fluid flush but she still runs fine after 250k miles. the B230 engines are really great slant 4s, very simple, beefy to all hell, and easy to work on. would like to take it on a road trip one day once I've returned it to its former glory.
Scotty would advise against doing a "trans fluid flush" on such a older car. He has made that point several times.
I have 1989 Volvo with the same engine and trans. I only drained out some trans fluid but did NOT do a flush...
You'd better listen to Scotty or risk trouble and even damage
Man I would love a Volvo 240 youre lucky. I got a 2015 bmw x3 I'm building but would love another project@@delwoodkelp8590
Cant beat the swedish steel in the old real Volvos
When I was a kid my parents had an 82 Volvo stick shift. Car was indestructible lasted like 400,000 miles
I sold Volvos in the 1970's. 4 cylinder SRI (sun roof overdrive) my friends were very impressed with the performance. Shocked to say the least.
I have a 2004 Mountaineer with a V8 and a 2008 Mountaineer with a V6. the V8 gets a lot better gas millage because of the vehicle weights.
My V8 Tahoe gets better MPG than my V6 Pro 4X.
I have got a volvo 91 740 turbo gem of a car theb a vlack 940 turbo another gem restored and sold for triple. Now picked up a 97 960 straight six wagon i cant get myself to sale is a solid car when you sit you feel you are in a tank. I bought my wife a mercedes e320 2002 those feel similar very tank like.
Feel, they're not safe by today's standards
Translation?
@@charlespowell2149 It's a load of piffle!
@@charlespowell2149 buy old volvos lol
My daily drive is a 25yr old Volvo V70 2.4t 😊 Ford purchased Volvo in 2000 and that’s when the rot started to set in. Volvo announced it would no longer supply estates/station wagons into the UK but they have already reversed the decision. The UK police are in the process of swapping out their motorway/highway BMW’s for Volvo’s after a officer lost his life in a car fire.
I'm still driving my 1983 Toyota four wheel drive pickup, that I bought new foo $8295.00.
I have about 300.000 miles on her
Fantastic truck.
1:20 My car is a '93 as well that has hydraulics for the hatchback and the hood. They all still work like new.
The Buicks the Oldsmobiles the Ford station wagons a lot of those cars when I was a kid they're very popular they're very safe and they're very powerful, I'm glad to see Scotty still doing reviews on these older square bodies.
no back up cam, so we'll use our head🤣🤣
My late 80's model looked exactly like this one. Best car I ever owned. Heavy four cylinder with the best combo of luxury and sporty handling ever. Surprisingly strong 4 cyl.. I was second owner, started with 90k, sold at 210k and third owners drove it for another twenty years.
That volvo is a 7 series. I owned a 240 and 760. Both fantastic 👍👍
We call this car the Highlander..its immortal
1984 toyota Starlet. I have 600k on mine. Best car ever made
Scotty, don’t you know that a “new engine” means “I blew up the old engine and bought another one off of eBay and have no idea how many miles are actually on this”
What year is the Ford Explorer?
would like a modern suv with basic stuff like this to much electrical stuff to go bad....
I have a 1990 Volvo 240, easy to work on and very reliable. 2002 Toyota Tacoma, rock solid. 2005 Impala ex police vehicle with the 3800, legendary engine. 2010 Honda Fit, 5 speed, runs like a top.
3.8 liter V6. They were good when they were carbureted (late 70s early eighties) and that continued clear up into the fuel injected 2000s. I think the 3.8 l V6 is the greatest engine GM ever made as far as reliability and longevity. I had a few automobiles that had that engine. ('80 Bonneville, '85 Buick, 98 Chevy Lumina)
Here in Louisiana, that Toyota pick up would go for a lot more. Great Truck!
I miss my grandfathers old red Toyota pick up. It was awesome
Still driving my 2010 focus. Bought for 2400 bucks with 130k. Now with 356k and no major failures. Shifts great and uses no oil. 36 mpg highway. Ice cold air.
I am glad this has worked out for you because I once had a Focus and it was the worst car I have ever owned (and I once owned a Dodge Colt). Everything went wrong that car.
@@dexterwestin3747guess it depends on the year and maintenance. I’ve change the whole suspension over the 6 years I’ve had it, tranny fluid changed every 50k ( drain and fill) oil every 5-7k miles depending on how much highway driving I did. Did vacuum down the ac and out a factory charge back in. Oh, also had the radiator plastic crack. 94 bucks for a new radiator. Just maintenance items to me. This thing goes from Maryland to Tennessee every year lol.
@@brockbaker3able yea it varies, I thought the Focus was fun to drive, but typical Ford issues. I have had a lot of old cars. Sort of a addiction.🙀
One of a kind
I love the older Explorers and that one is very beautiful and well kept, looks new
When I started driving my dad had an 85 740 Turbo. Was a fun rwd car and in 85 Volvo did advertisements bragging it was faster than bmw and Porsche. Car was a tank.
Station wagons are great
I had a 76 and 77 olds wagons
And my favorite was my 69 and 71 suburban
got a volvo s80 with 150k miles for 2,300 in april and I don't think i've ever loved driving a car more
Scotty teach us how to become invincible by huffing paint thinner
Ford Explorer?! Is that the one which was rolling if the front tire goes flat? Well, Scotty, get one and drive it as often as possible! That would be a GREAT deal!
Loved my two 240 sedans and my 940 wagon. Freaking love those old Volvos!
I had a volvo 142 back when. great car
I ❤my XC70! 2004 and runs like a champ.
Had an 02 Exploder myself. Had over 249K miles on the engine when it was totaled out. Never burned a drop of oil. Transmission had to be rebuilt at 120K.
Should put Woody and Buzz looking out the back window!
Bless those Swedes!
My first car, a Volvo, is the reason I drive Toyotas exclusively now lol. It was close to the year featured in this video but not a wagon. It was a piece of junk
I drove for sometime a Toyota just like that one…except was almost brand new..friend of mine owned one….very super efficient and affordable pickup truck to move stuff around…but back then,trucks were affordable and super simple…
Now they make trucks for entertainment and not for work.
Miss my 82 Toyota pickup. man I loved that little truck😢
The problem with any of these cars is finding a good mechanic! We can’t all be like you. I had a brand new 1986 Volvo 240 nice car.
I'd rather have a slick wagon over an SUV anyday.
I had a 1985 760 Turbo with an M46 that made it 390,000 miles before a rod decided it didn`t like the engine anymore. The biggest repair was a clutch before it died. Getting hard to find them nowadays.
my dad had a 240 it was solid
I still love station wagons, I would love to have a Ford Flex
I really like the looks of the Flex
“No back up camera so we use our head” 😂
I have a 1971 Chevy pick up truck with original clutch
Clutch’s don’t wear out if you know how to drive one and don’t ride the clutch
I've owned various Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford, Chevy, Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, and Oldsmobile vehicles in the past ~30 years and they've all had some issues. The least problematic for me were definitely Toyota, Honda and Nissan. Worst was Ford - never again.
I would take a Volvo station wagon any day of the week. Fantastic cars! The 20R and 22R engines from Toyota were bulletproof.
My dad had this car new back in 1990. He would have kept it past the lease but mom had a pretty major accident in it requiring tons of work. The car is a tank. Mom was perfect after the accident. My dad knew the. Ar was a tank and special ordered it with a manual transmission. He always said this car should be a stick. Miss dad and the Volvo.
Volvo made some of the older 240 in Canada too. We used to see them displaying "made in Canada" on a sticker in their backglass.
I had an 87 volvo it was a great car .Had it ten years .the only thing that was bad was the aircon
Scotty, if can't fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood, it is not full size. Maybe close but not quite.
I used to own a 1986 Toyota Hilux ute in Australia with over 400,000km.
Moved to the Philippines in 2014.
Philippines is LHD so I sold it to a friend who still has it.
Thank you for this one, Its like you knew I'm looking for a nice 940 2.3l turbo estate.
That's pretty good mpgs for the Explorer especially for the age and size and at 80mph
My Ford Focus has 295k miles and I had the transmission and clutch replaced at 241k miles and it cost about $1500
6:23 the air conditioning does not appear to be working well.
Scotty has more energy at 70 than I do in my left knacker.
The 1970s models of those Volvos were nearly indestructible. 475,000 mile cars.
Will drive Old skool version everyday
I was just saying a few days ago that Volvo should still be making the 240.
Yes scotty, those volvos don't use obd2, I believe they use a obd1. The port/adapter should be connected somewhere on the battery terminal erea like the late 80s-early 90s Toyota's
OBD1. Paper clip jumper and count the flashes for a Chevy.
Had my 240GL for 19 years and 400k 👍
Thats good you can't connect a scan tool to it. It means there is no software to be updated
Old Volvos were solid made cars.
Looks like someone smashed into the matrix. 0.36. I guess Scotty will be getting that Toyota Camry now.
I miss window cranks. Electric windows are a matter of when will they have issues, not if they will.
Yep) Cant beat the swedish steel in the old real Volvos)))
Love to find a good deal like that thanks for the information Scotty 😮
First car was a 122S. The 740 was the last Volvo worth owning.
Perfect timing my 2001 grandmarquis is sputtering and dying every 2 seconds. Then all the sudden its fine at driving 85mph...but anything lowers than 30 it wants to die. Looking for a cheap car for work. Looking for anything!
@@Momo-cd5pw check the coils sounds like bad ignition
The difference in cost for fuel 30 mpg vs 20 mpg at current fuel prices is $5,000 per 100,000 miles.
I've got a 2007 Ford Focus with over 200k. Runs great. We bought it to drive one winter. Price was $500. That was 5 years ago. It runs so good, we've kept it. Turned down $3500 for it..😂😂😂
Problem is with newer technology cars are getting faster less reliable more maintenance and customers want the faster cars to cut u off and speed so older cars are gold in many ways.
I still love station wagons.
Say! Scotty! Who do you know that you get by driving 80 MPH on the 10!?! You're gonna get a ticket!!! 🙈🙉🙊😂
0:02 Volvo🇸🇪
9:54 Toyota🇯🇵
15:04 Ford 🇺🇸
My '65 Imperial with a 413 runs great with 124,000 miles. My '66 Charger runs great with 67,000 miles. Take care of your car and they can last a long time. LOL!
Toyota Truck: "Open my doors and let me sing you the song of my people!"
Those older RWD Explorers weren't bad at all. I would prefer one with the 4.6 myself. The 4.0 V-6 wasn't a bad engine but overall the 4.6 was a little better. I think I'll just leave the FWD Explorer with its engine destroying water pump alone.
Hi Scotty!~ Another great informative video. Curious, what year this Volvo 240 Station Wagon in the video is and see it has California plates on it. Did the person find/buy it in California? If so, that would be super rare unless it was in a smaller town or it was a car that someone took very good care of, like a Grama and Grandpa vehicle driven to the store and back. Love these old Volvo wagons and would love to find one in good condition like that one in the video. For $1500, that is still a steal. Just Googled it in the LA area and several come up but- in the over $8,000 range on various car related websites.
Great info 👍
I love station wagons.
Hello I recently bought a 1994 Toyota pickup and I found out the 22re timing chain needs to be replaced at 110k miles. Any tips on installation parts or cost?
