    Hi, I live in Berkeley, California, and I've got an 88 240DL that could use
    a few spare parts. A hubcap, a turn signal lens, an antenna, the list goes
    on. Since there is an abundance of similar vintage Volvos around here, I
    imagine that there must be a salvage yard nearby where I can find the parts
    for cheap. Does anyone have a recommendation of a place nearby or in the
    Bay Area where I might find what I'm looking for?
    Thanks for the help,
    Erik (right, remove the first part)

    A few spare parts......
    Erik, I like to go to s place called Pick-your-Part at the end of Winton in
    Hayward. There is an off ramp in on Hwy 17. Winton will parallel the Hayward
    Airport.
    There are usually a lot of 240's, 740's (between 7 and maybe 14) there and they
    seem to change their stock of cars every other week. It cost $2. and bring your
    tools.
    There is a posted sign for what things cost but I find it varies on day and
    cashier.
    Try it you'll like it.

    There are yards around, but the Volvos at least are getting very well
    picked over.

    Lots of the cosmetic stuff is hard to find in a self service yard. Try
    the Volvo/Saab guys on Recycler road in Rancho Cordova (google Volvo saab
    rancho cordova and it'll be one of the first few links).

    The antenna, especially if it's power, is something you may as well buy
    new. They're usually pretty cheap.

    I still recommend swedishengineering.com for both new and used Volvo parts.
    Their numbers/locations are listed on the website. Call the one closest to
    you, and I'll bet they have everything you need at really good prices.
