1991 Volvo 240 Base Wagon 4-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
Hagerstown, Maryland, United States
|
My mother-in-law bought this car used, but had it thoroughly checked out before doing so. She drove it gently and treated it like a second child, babying it and making sure it always got the best of care by a mechanic who worked almost exclusively with Volvos. She fixed it up a great deal before gifting it to us, with the intent that it would last us at least a good 100,000 more miles. Unfortunately we have fallen on hard times and would like to sell the car.
It has a newly rebuilt engine which is very clean. It runs GREAT, is extremely reliable, the AC is like a glacier blowing at you and the heat is volcanic. They work wonderfully! The back seat folds down and the car runs like a dream. Every now and then, it may feel a little rough if it's been sitting for too long without being driven, but that clears up when you take it for a drive. The stereo, speakers and dome light don't work, and would need to be replaced. We didn't bother with that when we got it because it simply wasn't that important to us. It needs a few more things, which is why the price is marked down from $10,000.00 to $9,000.00. The main things it needs are tires, an alignment (the reason it needs tires), and an enclosure for a turn signal (got broken trying to get it out of the ice this past winter). It had a few small rust spots which have been treated so they will not continue to grow and create a problem, but it could use a little paint touch-up in those spots. |

Volvo studying test of electric roads in Sweden
Tue, 27 May 2014Volvo already announced the results of a study of wireless charging using a stationary C30, and now it's embarking on a more ambitious study of wireless charging involving moving city buses. Next year, in conjunction with the Swedish Transport Association, Volvo will build a section of electric road up to 500 meters long that would use inductive charging to refill the batteries while the bus drives over it.
Right now, the company's Hyper Bus diesel hybrid has to stop to plug in and charge at the end of its route. The company is looking for a way to keep buses in service while being able to run on electric power for greater lengths of time. The new line used for the study will be called ElectriCity, and will come online in central Gothenburg sometime in 2015. There's a press release below with more information.
Volvo building new AstaZero safety proving ground in Sweden
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Volvo is an automaker committed to vehicle safety, setting an ambitious target for itself: by 2020, the Swedish automaker envisions that no one will be killed or seriously injured in one of its cars. In order to achieve that goal, Volvo has announced a new proving ground designed specifically to test safety solutions.
Called AstaZero, the new facility near the company's headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, is the result of a $70 million investment. It will cover some 500 acres, with over 60 acres of pavement, four city blocks and three and a half miles of highway. The Active Safety Test Area (the ASTA in AstaZero) will enable Volvo and its partners (including Scania trucks as well as government bodies and university development programs) to simulate city streets, highways, rural roads, roundabouts, T-junctions and more, combining traffic from cars, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, trucks and even animals in order to account for all manner of potential hazards.
The facility will enable Volvo to test active safety systems and autonomous vehicle operations, and even allow robots to test its prototypes in an adaptive environment that aims to be more flexible than existing proving grounds. Read more about Volvo's commitment to safety in the press release below.
