This is a 1992 Volvo 240. It's a solid dependable car with good points and not so good points. Please allow me to detail everything I know:
Good points:
1. Engine seems to run very well
2. Transmission seems to shift smoothly and properly
3. No visible fluid leaks or smoke
4. Power windows and power locks all work; headlights and taillights are not cracked and they work.
5. This is a non-turbo 2.3cyl so it gets really great gas mileage.
Not so good points:
1. The blower motor for the heat and A/C does not come on. I do not know why. It could be a fuse or it could need a new blower motor; it has not been diagnosed by a technician yet.
2. The freon has leaked out of the A/C system. I do not know why.
3. The odometer stopped working at 152K miles so the actual mileage is unknown. My guess is that it is around 175K-200K but I can not say for sure. The other instrument cluster functions--such as the speedometer and fuel gauge--still work fine.
4. The tires are not great and should probably be replaced. In addition, the spare is currently mounted on the car because of a blowout of one of the tires.
5. The interior is is need of a thorough cleaning.
6. The paint or clear coat on the roof and the trunk lid has oxidized.
7. The radio antenna should be replaced. The radio does not work because it needs a code and I can't find the code.
8. The grill should probably be replaced since the bottom mounting tabs are broken off and the Volvo sticker is missing from the middle.
9. We haven't been driving it alot lately and the battery seems a little weak as a result. Also, I left the lights on the other day which made it go partially dead. I jump started it and drove it for a day and it seems basically fine but it seems a little weak when starting. It should probably be tested and/or replaced. I noticed that when I jumped it off it started super powerfully but when I went to start it today it started fine but it was a little weaker than when I started it with jumper cables attached. So I think the battery should be checked out. Once started it runs fine of course; it just seems a little weaker than maybe it should be when you go to start it.
10. There are two small rock chips in the windshield. Neither one is in the driver's view path and neither one has spread beyond a tiny starburst.
11. Many little trim pieces both inside and out are damaged or missing and there are various dents or damage to be found in various spots around the car. The car has at least average wear and tear for the year, possibly above average. I don't really feel like listing every dent, scratch and missing or damaged trim piece but you will find several throughout the car.
The bottom line is this: it's a solid dependable car that runs and drives well. The outstanding issues do not prevent the car from being driven across the country right now. The really important stuff is working fine. With a little bit of investment this could be a very nice car again.
There is a $300 deposit due immediately via Paypal in order to end the auction. The remaining $1000 is due in cash when you pick up the car. I am giving you 31 calendar days after ending the auction to pick up the car and pay the remaining balance of $1000 in cash. If the car is not picked up within 31 days of the auction close the $300 deposit will be forfeited. There are no exceptions to this policy so please do not use Buy-it-Now until you are confident that you can pick up the car within 31 days and pay the remaining balance of $1000 in cash.
If you are a Georgia resident please contact me before using buy-it-now since there are new tax laws we need to discuss.
Lastly, it may go without saying but this car is sold AS-IS with no warranties of any kind expressed or implied. I am not warranting any aspect of this vehicle's operation or condition. I have attempted to tell you everything I know about the car but I am not an automotive technician and the vehicle has not been inspected by one prior to the sale. Your purchase of the car implies your agreement with these statements.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Volvo updates Inscription packages for 2015 XC60, S80
Tue, 01 Apr 2014Volvo is improving the luxury offered by the XC60 and S80 with upgrades to both models' Inscription packages for 2015. It is also making all of its models (other than the soon-to-be-replaced XC90) available with its new Drive-E engine family and Sensus infotainment system.
The Inscription package was previously available on both the XC60 and S80, but new upgrades include Sovereign Hide leather throughout their interiors, including on their instrument panels, seatbacks, center armrests and headrests. Inscription also adds wood inlaid trim and new floor mats. On the outside, the package is offered in Crystal White Pearl, Electric Silver and - exclusively for the S80 - Ember Black. The XC60 comes with 20-inch, ten-spoke wheels, and the S80 receives 19-inch wheels of the same design.
As part of its sponsorship of a yacht race, Volvo is also bringing the XC60 Ocean Race Edition to the US. Buyers will get their choice of black or blonde leather seats with orange stitching, a map of the race route on the rear load cover and the event's logo around the car.
Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.
Tony Nicolosi confirmed as Volvo's North American CEO
Tue, 14 Jan 2014This past October, John Maloney stepped down from his post as CEO at Volvo Cars North America. In his place, the Swedish automaker tentatively promoted Tony Nicolosi, who had until then served as head of Volvo Car Financial Services. The appointment was reportedly temporary, giving Nicolosi the title of acting CEO. But according to Automotive News, his position has now been confirmed for the long run.
Although Volvo has yet to announce a new director for its financial arm, Nicolosi says they have found the right person and will announce sometime between now and the National Automobile Dealers Association convention, set to take place later this month in New Orleans.
Last month, Volvo also announced that its global communications chief Bodil Eriksson is moving from the home office in Gothenburg to the North American office in Rockleigh, New Jersey. Anders Kärrberg has been promoted from the government affairs post to take Eriksson's place.
