- The engine runs strong and gets around 30mpg mainly highway, but I do some city driving too.
- Has been well maintained and as I said earlier I have the records in the service booklet.
- Always local to central Illinois and owners know each other. (So I know the history and that it was maintained well previously.)
- Transmission shifts really well and recently replaced the overdrive relay with a OEM unit.
- Newer cd player that works.
- Very clean interior with great seats and original all weather floor mats.
- Brakes are in good condition and tires all have good tread on them.
- Exhaust system is in good condition as well.
- All lights work except the dash lights, but I have LED lights placed there so you can see at night.
- The dash lights that i mentioned earlier, but like I said I have put lights there so it isn't an issue at night (also, they tun on when you turn the headlights on.)
- The car has heated seats, but they blow the fuse for them if they are on too long. Not sure why, but a mechanic said it is a ground issue i think.
- The body is not perfect, but the car is 24 years old. (Look at the photos)
- A/C does not work, but heat is great.
- The suspension doesn't have anything broken, but could use new lower control arm bushings and rear trail arm bushings. (priced at around $200 for both kits.)
- All of the dash instruments work, but the odometer and trip stopped working around a year and a half ago. My best estimate is the car has between 130,000-135,000 miles on it.
On Jul-26-13 at 09:08:40 PDT, seller added the following information:I'm sorry I forgot to mention that the hood is a little higher on the passenger side. This is an issue you see in many 240's because the hinge locks, but these have been oiled so you shouldn't have any issues with the hood.

2014 Volvo V60 to start at $35,300*
Tue, 31 Dec 2013When Volvo announced US pricing for its updated 2014 model line, it left one vital model out of the equation: that would be the V60, the long-roofed version of the S60 sedan and the long-awaited replacement for the V70 wagon that left our shores nearly four years ago. But if you look at the V60's product page now, you'll see a starting MSRP listed at $35,300. That represents a $2,900 premium over the S60 and an $800 premium over the larger (but older) XC70 softroader.
Delve further into the online configuration tool and you'll see that the price is applied, naturally, to the base turbocharged five-cylinder, front-drive model. Go for the Premier or Platinum trims and the price begins to climb, as it does with the addition of all-wheel drive, the turbo six engine and the R-Design spec. You'll also need to account for the *$915 destination charge. Tick all the boxes and you'll soon be looking at a price tag of over $50,000. Order books open with the start of the new year.
Volvo pranks newest valet on the Italian Riviera
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Being a valet on the Italian Riviera seems like a pretty sweet gig for a young guy. Not only do you get to watch beautiful people coming and going all day and night, but there's the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a plethora of exotic sports cars. Of course, being responsible for those expensive vehicles has to be pretty nerve wracking to get used to on the first day.
In a new commercial, Volvo pranks a new valet at the San Remo Casino to see how he would handle a surprise showing up on the red carpet. If the look on his face in the screenshot above doesn't show it, he's pretty shocked by what he sees. We don't want to spoil the reveal, so just watch the ad to find out. Afterward, if you're interested in the details behind how Volvo made it happen, you can check out a short, making-of documentary, here.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
