volvo 360

Post by mgarageu » 01 Feb 2004 10:54 am

very few 360-s in Sweden. they actually love
normal-size Volvos and Saabs. 340pw 340pw in Finland prices of good condition cars are
too high for non-scandinavian buyers. you cannot look in the UK, because the steering
wheel...
the newest 360 were not sold in Germany also. maybe were produced for Italy and
Switzerland, but not sure. the best quality years were pre-85, i think. newer get rusted through
more fast. 340pw

360 body

Post by mgarageu » 01 Feb 2004 10:25 pm

i must tell you that you are not correct about that. i
am busy with volvo 300 series repair and owning myself also about 12 years now. pre -85
models have less rust and their paintwork lasts better than newer ones. have seen all years
since 1976. you may decide what to buy, but info about zink? is a fairy-tale.

I'm not sure at all the protection against rust is better on
models after 85... The bodywork of my Volvo 340 DL vario (february 1984 - 240.000 km) is in
VERY good condition. But my Volvo 360 GLT (1987) with 285.000 km has BIG rust problems...

My observation in Poland is: V3xx before '85 rust, rust &
only rust, over '85 have good condition. Maybe in your's lands nobody falling salt on road? In
my country it's normal in winter, unfortunately for V sm72

salt on the roads

Post by mgarageu » 03 Feb 2004 09:03 am

my experience covers cars imported from
Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Holland, United Kingdom(mine) and some others. No zink
seen. our roads are salted much more than yours! on the newer 300-s even roof and other
upper details rust. extremely bad after launching 400-series. (300 became less important for the
factory, i think...) 340pw 340pw 340pw
i travelled through Poland in August, 2002. saw very few Volvos there. maybe you have got
simply better ones? saw Lublin too. i was travelling to Ukraine and returned in September.
