1990 Volvo 240 Dl Sedan 4-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States
|
This vehicle was purchased as part of an estate sale. The original husband/wife owners from North Carolina kept this vehicle garaged and serviced for approximately 23 years ! This car is in MINT condition for the year. You would be hard-pressed to find a nicer, cleaner and more beautiful 1990 Volvo 240 DL ! The safety & reliability of the Volvo 240 is legendary. This car is a TANK and is in stunning condition. A stack of maintenance paperwork, the original owners manual and 2 sets of keys for this Volvo. This vehicle always starts on the first try and simply floats down the highway -- drives SO good, you would never know the car was almost 25 years old ! We would definitely be keeping this one but we are getting a new Acura and unfortunately the Acura will get the Volvo's spot in the garage. This vehicle has been garaged and protected all of its life and we just don't want it to sit outside (and we don't really have the space for it). The exterior paint is in GORGEOUS condition with no signs of rust anywhere. I cannot even find a door-ding which is amazing for a 25 year old car. The interior is a medium blue color and is in extra good condition. The headliner (white headliner) is nearly PERFECT! Seat upholstery and carpet are incredibly clean. This would be a perfect first car or a car for the Volvo enthusiast. The odometer stopped working at 200,625 miles (this is a very common problem with the Volvo 240's). The odometer can be repaired at a Volvo dealership or you could probably find a mechanic to fix this. On the last trip to get the oil changed, the mechanic said the vehicle probably has approximately 220K miles would be his best guess. He also stated he had never seen a 240 come in to his shop in such great condition. I was told that the air conditioner requires a freon charge every summer/every other summer. This vehicle has all of the original Volvo glass (no cracks, chips, etc). to have original glass all the way around on a car nearly 25 years old is remarkable. We are located close to the Knoxville TN area. If you want the car shipped, you will be responsible for setting all of that up. We have Greyhound Bus Station, MegaBus and an airport all in close proximity. If you have any questions you can contact me at 865.235.4805 (please contact me before 10PM EST). If you would like additional pics, please let me know. Thanks and Happy Bidding ! :)

Watch this video, then buy this 1993 Volvo wagon
Mon, 12 May 2014Do you want to be perceived as rich and cuddly? Of course you do. Then you need to buy this car.
We know it makes no sense, but that pretty much sums up our take on the video you'll see below, in which a man by the name of Christoffer Castor, from Scania County in Southern Sweden, attempts to convince any and all who watch to buy his car. The car in question is a 1993 Volvo 240 wagon, in red with a black fabric interior.
We have quite a bit of respect for the old boxy Volvo wagons here at Autoblog, and, despite the presence of some unsightly rust on the tailgate, would gladly bum about in this particular 240. We especially appreciate the five-speed manual gearbox and that it's from the car's final year in production.
Volvo's plan for China: sell them on the clean air inside the car
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Large Chinese cities aren't known for having clean air. Just this week, the Chinese city of Harbin filled with record levels of smog after starting the city's coal-fired heating system, according to CNN. But Li Shufu, the chairman of Geely, Volvo's parent company, says the automaker's astute attention to cabin comfort in areas such as air filtration is a selling point for the Swedish automaker in China, Forbes reports.
Shufu says when he is inside a Volvo, he feels like he's in Northern Europe, but when the door is opened, he feels like he's in Beijing. The chairman made the remarks at the fourth annual Global Auto Forum (GAF) in China (which also happened to be attended by Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford, which was Volvo's owner until 2010), where he emphasized Geely's hands-off approach to managing Volvo, saying, "Geely and Volvo are brothers, not father and son."
While good filtration contributes to cabin comfort, the way we see it, Shufu also is allowing Volvo to play to its most well-known strength: safety. Smog protection via air filtration might not seem like the most important safety feature for a car in the US (unless you live in Los Angeles), but when you consider that Harbin's level of fine particles was up to 30 times higher than the World Health Organization's recommended standard on Tuesday, we'd think twice about that. Fine particles, which are 2.5 micrometers in diameter or less, are considered to be the most harmful to health.
Heico jacks up Volvo V40 Cross Country to create XC40
Sat, 24 May 2014Because life isn't fair, we don't get the stylish wagon known as the Volvo V40 in the United States. That means we don't get its soft-roading cousin, the V40 Cross Country. So, naturally, if Volvo tuner Heico Sportiv ever produces this ruggedized, XC-styled V40 Cross Country, it most certainly wouldn't cross the pond, either.
That makes us sad, because despite holding a tiny bit of contempt for small luxury crossovers, this is a very, very cool looking vehicle. It's just a render right now, but Heico Sportiv is looking to offer the kit to V40 Cross Country owners who want a smaller version of the Volvo XC60.
Converting a V40 CC into an XC40 would start with some suspension tweaks. The ride height would be raised by just over an inch, in order to improve the looks of the soft-roader and deliver a more CUV-like ingress and egress. New shocks would also be fitted, as well. Wheel-arch extensions were also added to complete the look.
