You cannot get them new. Mine is 10 years old (nearly) and if you're thinking of a second hand car, perhaps this should be on your list.
My base-model 440, which I've had for 8 years, is a faithful companion. Its performance is neither sluggish nor racy - it has the power when I want it and the cruising when I don't. The car has lasted the years and 120,000 miles it's done, because it is well-made and solid.
I'm in my mid twenties now and the Volvo might seem a little old for me. However, I've had plenty of good miles and a few boy-racing moments (the understeer is exactly where it should be!) and I've been satisfied.
The down side is that the petrol+carb combination provides only medium acceleration and the lack of automatic choke on my 1990 model has meant that I've had to learn how to handle the car cold.
I wish I could get another 8 years from my car but my lack of washing and its propensity to rust means that I probably won't!
