The price of used Volvos, especially from that era, has dropped like a stone in the last few years. Try to sell it to someone looking specifically for a 240, for a wife or kid. I was lucky to get $1495 for our maintained '88 a few weeks ago. If I were you I'd start at $2495, but quickly go to $1900. Make sure it's nice and shiny..

There's a lot of average 240s out there, but really nice ones are scarce as hen's teeth.

If it's just low mileage, in very good condition, then $2500 *is* quite a premium for a 240, these days...

I didn't see a price quoted at all, I agree though that $2500 would have to be an exceptional example though I still see some late model 240s fetching more here, they're still in high demand and supplies are shrinking.
