Hello everyone,

I'm looking at lowering my expenses and considering getting a Volvo 240 to do so. I've read on reddit and numerous other places how reliable the 240 series is, and how easy they are to work on, but are they easy to work on for someone who doesn't have much experience working on cars?

I've done the basics (i.e. changing tires, oil, brakes), but I don't have a tool chest full of all sorts of tools. Would I be able to get by with an owner's manual and some various tools like screwdrivers, wrenches and a drill? I fully understand that I'll eventually need to order parts, but I don't have access to an engine hoist, car lift, etc.

Thanks for any info!
