1990 Volvo 240 starter

The middle asking price for a used one is $131.05, across 15 live eBay listings for the 1990 model year. Half of them ask between $73.94 and $209.08. That’s what sellers are asking, not what buyers paid. Sold prices aren’t published anywhere you can count on, and asking prices usually run about a quarter higher than what things sell for — so we say which one this is.

How it comes off

  1. Disconnect the battery, if there is one.
  2. Only go under a car that sits on the yard’s stands, never one held up by a jack.
  3. Take the cables off the solenoid.
  4. Remove the mounting bolts and lower it out. It is heavier than it looks.

The usual order on most cars. A 1990 Volvo 240 may hide a screw or a clip somewhere else: if a piece will not move, look for what is still holding it before you pry harder.

What to bring for it

Typical sizes, not a promise for every car. Everything to bring to a pull-your-own yard.

Is it worth pulling?

That depends on what the yard charges for it and how long it takes to get off the car, and on where it sits against the other 61 parts on a 1990 Volvo 240 that have a market. The full sheet for this vehicle ranks all of them by what you save and by what you clear.
