Oh no I'm not complaining about doing any work, I'm a bit of a grease monkey as it is so. I mostly do my engineering on vintage aircraft and tractors (recently just overhauled a Ferguson 1953 TE20), so a Volvo is modern compared to what I'm used to.
I'll give it a service where needed once bought, and as these cars are gaining in price like all classics it only seems sense to buy them when they're affordable and keep them at a reasonable standard as I intend. I can do all the engine work fine, I agree, the key is in the body. Can't fancy having a rotten one but as you say the 240's are important.
Does the mpg differ between the GL and the GLE/GLT seeing as they are 300 odd cc's bigger?
