1992 240 Volvo on 2040-cars
San Angelo, Texas, United States
This vehicle is in a very good condition. It starts promptly in all weather, accelerates, idles and drives nicely. Car starts smoothly and accelerates excellently. All the lights work fine. All the mirrors and lenses are in good condition. AC blows cold air. Loaded with power door, locks, power steering, power windows. It has AM/FM CD with four premium Volvo speakers and they work perfectly. It is a Texas car so is no rusts on this well kept car. Exterior paint is in good condition for the age of the car but expect some dings and scratches and scrapes. Leather seats are excellent with only a tear on the driver’s seat. Carpets are great. All the gauges work except the odometer that stopped two years ago. Well maintained, recent timing belt, new AC compressor, accumulator and hose, harmonic balancer and windshield. Center arm rest for comfort while driving. Yokohama tires are recent with great treads. This is a comfortable and very reliable car. I know of absolutely nothing wrong with it mechanically. It gets great gas mileage - and cruises very comfortably without vibration or pulling or anything. The brakes do not pull and they stop the car very well. The aftermarket cruise control works perfectly. The power steering is light and effective with the 240 amazing turning radius. I am second owner. Purchased it 10 years ago. I would keep the car but we purchased a newer model and I already have another back-up Volvo in the garage. I have changed the oil every 3,000-5,000 and performed all recommended maintenance on schedule. |

Volvo opens order books for XC90 First Edition
Wed, 03 Sep 2014The new Volvo XC90 breaks new ground in any number of ways. It's based on a new modular platform, packs new engines, introduces a new design language and incorporates a whole slew of new safety systems. Even in its sales approach, it takes Volvo into new territory.
In what Volvo calls an industry first, the first 1,927 examples of the new XC90 will be sold online. Those First Edition models, whose production numbers honor the year of the company's founding, will come fully equipped in T6 AWD guise with the twin-charged (but not hybrid) 316-horsepower engine, air suspension, Bowers & Wilkins audio system and 21-inch Inscription alloys, decked out in black with a tan Nappa leather interior, all for $65,900.
As you can see from the online store, ordering has officially begun. Get one while they're hot.
Volvo demos autonomous self-parking car concept
Thu, 20 Jun 2013A number of companies are developing autonomous vehicle technology - Google and Audi come to mind - but Volvo is applying its work in the area to a particular usage case: parking. The Swedish automaker has the technology up and running in a concept vehicle, which it says can be dropped off at the curb by its owner and left to its own devices to enter and navigate a car park, then find and park in an available parking spot. Volvo says the process can even be reversed when the owner is ready to go, with the car leaving the car park on its own to meet its key-holder again at the curb.
The vehicle first interacts with Vehicle 2 Infrastructure technology, which places transmitters in the road itself to inform the car (and driver) if the self-parking service is available. The driver then hops out, activates the Self Parking function on his or her smartphone and then leaves the car to do its work. The car uses sensors, all seemingly hidden from view (an advancement of its own in this field), to autonomously navigate the car park, which includes interacting and adjusting to other cars, people and objects.
The technology used here builds off of Volvo's other work in autonomous vehicle research, namely the Safe Road Trains for the Environment (SARTRE) project in which the company managed to create a train of four cars autonomously following a lead truck at speeds up 56 miles per hour. Volvo says the first application of its autonomous research in a production vehicle will happen at the end of 2014 with some level of autonomous steering available in the next-generation XC90. See the system in action by watching the video below.
Volvo joins Australia's V8 Supercars series [w/video]
Mon, 17 Jun 2013It was just a rumor, but now it's official, mates: Volvo will be joining the V8 Supercars series in Australia with an official team for 2014. Volvo is partnering with Garry Rogers Motorsport and its own Polestar tuning firm to create Volvo Polestar Racing.
A V8 engine will be produced by the Swedish arm of the racing effort, and will be supplied to the Garry Rogers team, which will get the whole shebang ready for the track. The outfit will be running two V8 Supercars "based on the production S60 road car." Considering that the S60 uses a range of transversely mounted engines with four, five or six cylinders (powering either the front or all four wheels) while the new race car will employ a V8 sending about 650 horsepower to the rear wheels, make that very loosely based on the production S60...
Volvo claims this is the first factory-backed entry in the V8 Supercars series from a luxury brand. We should note, though, that Mercedes-Benz is represented in the series with an E-Class sedan, but that outfit isn't quite an official entry from the car's German parents. In any case, you're encouraged to watch the teaser video and read the press release below for all the details.
