Here where I live in southern Ireland there are very few old volvos. There is a 1990 740 turbo diesel estate. looks like a workhorse.
A 1995? 440 Very scruffy.
All of the other volvos are much newer V70, S40, S80, S60 etc. You see more newer volvos than old.
It must be because the tax on the older ones on the engine size for a 2.3l is 895 euros per year where as the modern diesels are cheaper to tax. Taxable on their emmisions level.
My 240 GLT is the only 240 I have seen in Ireland
