And now, some blatantly promotional posts.....

I
had been looking for a decent 240 for several months, perusing craigslist
daily, sometimes hourly for any worthy specimens that might hit the net. When I
came across Dave's ad, I was blown away by the detail of the post.
He outlined all of the work he had done to the car since acquiring it
several months earlier (an astounding list I might add). It was obvious
that this guy loved these cars beyond any mercenary reason for being involved
in the business of selling them. The care and love he put into the car
and the desire to bring it back to its former glory was inspiring. In
fact, after speaking with him on the phone I felt compelled to make the hour
drive to see him and the car. It was love at first sight. The body
was perfect. It actually looked like a new car. The interior had been
meticulously cleaned and restored where necessary. Driving it was even
more of a pleasure. Having driven many 240s over the prior months, I knew
I was in a rare vehicle. It drove perfectly. I bought it on the
spot. Compared to other 240s that you see for sale, Dave's may seem
slightly more expensive. But let me tell you unequivocally, the minor
premium that you pay is worth 10X the amount in future mechanic's bills and
hassles associated with buying a run-down 240 from someone else. If you are
considering buying a 240, I cannot recommend Dave highly enough. What he
does to these cars is amazing. His followup exemplifies the care he puts
into each car, making sure you know what to do to keep it in pristine shape.
He is always available for questions and concerns that may arise.
He makes the experience of buying and owning a 240 an absolute dream.
If you want a Volvo and you want it to stay on the road, Dave is the man!

David calls himself the Wagonmeister, but to me he will always be the Volvo
Whisperer. He has turned my Volvo 240 into a driving dream! The
suspension he added has given me a better driving experience. My car purrs now.
The cosmetic changes have heads turning as I drive by, especially from other
Volvo drivers. My car looks amazing. David is definitely worth the
hour drive from Los Angeles for all my service needs. I won't allow anyone else
to touch my car. Thank
you David!

You weren't kidding: Half an hour [to install]. Works great. Exactly what I expected. Thanks again.

I purchased a 1991 240 sedan from David a few years ago and was very pleased. I had always wanted a Volvo of this model, and after talking on the phone with him, I decided to take the plunge. I flew to California to pick up the car and drive it back to my home in Arizona. I have never regretted it.
This was my first Volvo and I was lucky to have obtained it from Dave. He has a depth of knowledge and appreciation of 240s that is impressive. He clearly puts a lot of work and care into each car that passes through his hands. On mine he had worked on quite a few things, especially the engine, brakes, and interior. The carpet and upholstery were immaculate after his detailing.
I’ve learned that I’m more mechanically inclined than I originally thought. Armed with a set of metric wrenches and Bentley’s Guide to the 240, you can do many things yourself on these cars. A lot of what’s under the hood is dirt simple.
Based on my experience with the car (as well as with Dave), I would not hesitate to buy another from him. As a matter of fact, right now he has an ’83 burgundy two door. Please don’t buy that one. I want it.

I just wanted to write to say how pleased I am with the seat bottom foams I bought for my 1991 240 sedan. What a difference! Fantastic is the only word to describe these seats now feel on a 187,000 mile car. Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time and expense to reproduce these seat bottom!

Just wanted to let you know that my driver's seat was rebuilt using your seat foam replacement and grill. This is probably one of the best upgrades to do to your 240. Thanks for a great product!
