From what I understand, European standard sized diesel cars are not very common in United States. How did you end up getting one? It's a great and durable car, as volvo should be.
Our family also has a 240, it's an estate, and it's still working pretty flawlessly. The only problems are the non-functioning seatbelt alarm for the passenger's seat and some troubles when starting in cold and moist weather. Not sure if it has 1 2 litre or a 2,3 lire engine, but it has a lambda sond and a catalysator. P.S. Is it only US cars that have that alarm when igniting? Never heard that in any car I've been in here in Finland.
Just go and buy a new gearbox. Maybe even new engine after those kilometres. I myself own Chevy Van -91 with 440 000km and I'm planning to keep the vehicle in condition till I die. And I'm not very old yet...
Love the alarm sound
