240's don't rust if you follow Volvo's instructions to renew the Dinitrol rust proofing as a service item. Only problem is if you ask a main dealer about it they look at you like your're mad. It's in the handbook though.

I used to do my 1981 245 myself, as I couldn't get the main dealer to do it, and my friend has still has it and drives it every day and it lives outside all the time and it dosn't have any rust.

EDIT: I really like the sound of my D5, it sounds rather like a V8, the best sounding engines ever. I have an American friend who commented that it sounded like an American car.

All the best.
