** NO RESERVE **

Please read entire description before bidding.  Contact me first if you have zero or negative feedback please.

I recently bought this car with the plans to freshen it up but also came across another project that now is taking up my garage space.  I'd rather not store the 240 this winter. 

It has lots of positives;

- It's the manual 5 speed (which is very rare in a late model 240 wagon)
- Low miles 123K
- Service book stamped by dealer through 80K miles
- Literally every receipt since new (has to be an inch stack of receipts)
- Clutch done at 80K
- Clean Carfax - no accidents
- No CEL or other lights lit
- Map pockets intact.
- Recent steering rack replacement
- Recent timing belt and water pump
- Very minimal rust

Fairly well optioned - heated seats, power mirrors, power windows - AC that works.

It's not without it's flaws tho;

- Paintwork below the belt line on passenger side and tailgate - likely due to a scratch down that side of the car.
- Needs front tires
- Rear brakes squeak/rumble a little 
- Numerous dings and scratches
- AC sweats when running (small water puddle on drivers floor)
- Runs fantastic but at idle it has a little sputter (likely just a tune up)
- Interior could use a good cleaning
- Clock and central locking fuse is out b/c it drains the battery (looks like there is a wire in the hatch hinge that broke - I suspect that it has something to do with that)

It was just inspected in MA So it's good for another year (good until the end of August 2015). The garage that inspected it mentioned that a good percentage of these cars fail because of the rust/rot on the rear suspension - he said this car was in excellent shape in that regard. Passed the inspection just fine.

Anyway, it's either sell it or store it. 

I don't want to waste anyone's time - if you are looking for a perfect one - this is not it. If you are looking for one that has low miles and a 5-speed and will probably run another 200K that needs some work while you drive it - this may be it.  Sold as-is where-is.  Thanks!

Volvo opens order books for XC90 First Edition

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

The 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 Concept Coupe may see limited production

Wed, 25 Sep 2013

Despite the impressive production debuts from Porsche and BMW at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show - the 918 Spyder and the i8, respectively - there was one car that captured the attention of the press and the public alike, enough so that we awarded it our overall top pick of the show: the Volvo Concept Coupe. Most concepts never make it to production, but the car's reception has been so positive that Volvo's board of directors is considering to produce it in limited quantities, Auto Bild reports. Italian coachbuilder Bertone could handle the limited production run.
Styled after the classic P1800, the Volvo concept was similar to the new Porsche and BMW in that it was equipped with a high-performance hybrid drivetrain. But Volvo took a different route from there, giving the sleek coupe a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor at the rear axle. All in, the combo is good for 400 horsepower and 490 pound-feet of torque.
If the Concept Coupe makes it to production, it may not get the trick hybrid drivetrain mentioned above, Motor Athority reports, but a milder plug-in hybrid setup or even just a conventional fuel-burning engine. In any case, it would be a treat if Volvo produced a fully functional, street-legal Concept Coupe, though at that point we're thinking it would be due for a name change.

Volvo S60 Polestar Concept finally spotted in the flesh

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

The Volvo S60 Polestar Concept has graced the pages of Autoblog numerous times in recent memory, but we've never actually seen it in person. That is, until now.
We caught up with the blazing blue sedan sitting on the floor of the LA Auto Show, and it looks even better up close. As a refresher, the four-door is fitted with a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine (3.0-liter) generating an impressive 508 horsepower. Its close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox sends power to all four wheels through a fourth-generation Haldex XWD system. With a decent driver behind the steering wheel, the Polestar can crack the 60 mph benchmark in about 3.7 seconds as it rushes towards a top speed in excess of 186 mph.
Volvo has said that this Polestar-modified S60 was built for a specific client who paid upwards of $300,000 for the pleasure of owning it. But as they say, if there is market demand for more...
