This car may run forever!

I bought this 1997 Volvo eight years ago. The only major repair has been a new set of valves required after a timing system idler pulley failed and threw all 24 valves out of sync, ruining them all. But that can happen to any vehicle. Since 2019, this car has been pulling a 5x10 foot trailer with riding mowers on it most of the time. It was not designed for that but has performed the work without fail. I'm not sure I can abuse this car enough to kill it. Best ride I ever spent money on and, being 74 years old, that covers a LOT of cars and pickups.

I'm really reviewing my 1990 245, but...

...this site doesn't even list the car I consider to be just about the best car every built. What other car would you buy that's 26 years old that you can reasonably expect to last the rest of your life? It's incredibly safe, very comfortable, amazingly durable, enormously capacious, stylish (in a 1980s way if you stand well back and squint your eyes a little), and it gets to 60 in under a minute.
