Inheriting dad’s Volvo for school + questions

I’m about to get my driver’s license in 3 months and my dad decided to bring the old family Volvo out of retirement and give it to me for daily use. I’ll not be using it for long distance (only from home to school and back and probably for some hangouts) and it looks cool af so i’m very happy that my dad decided to give me this beautiful brick.

I have some questions though, mainly about reliability. Sure volvos are known to be tanks but I heard there were some engine problems in the 240 especially in the earlier models. for you all that use the 240 as a daily car, does it have any problems?

and also my dad lowered the car a bit. although it looks cool af the roads here suck ass, speed bumps, holes, uneven paving, so on and so on. sure i could use the good ol fashioned spin the wheel and turn it back around before hitting speed bumps and such but im worried about the frame underneath. will it withstand a couple scrapes on the bottom ?

that’s all, thanks dad for this orange brick love you
