1993 Volvo 240 Classic Wagon Limited Edition Number 936 Of The Last 1600 Made! on 2040-cars
Warrenton, Virginia, United States
|
This is one of the last 1600 Volvo 240's ever made - special edition, and I am the original owner. Title free and clear. No reserve! AS IS! Well, it WAS running when I parked it in our driveway two or so years ago, but it no longer runs (no big surprise), and the tires are flat. I stopped driving it because I just couldn't afford to bring her up to snuff for inspection. I'm hoping that there is a Volvo enthusiast out there who would be willing to give her some TLC, and bring this very special last of 1600 classic back to her former glory. I know nothing about cars, but will run through what I do know about this one: - the odometer stopped working 149K - there is a small dent right above the right front passenger light (as you can see in the photos) - carfax erroneously has a report of an accident in 2006 claiming damage to the right side involving a guardrail and another car - NEVER HAPPENED! Absolutely no damage to the right side at all. Here is what did happen (which carfax doesn't show!): in December of 1997, my husband hit another car at a right turn on red stop light wherein he thought the car in front of him had started to turn, but it hadn't, so he hit the rear of the car at low speed. It caused cosmetic damage to the hood, grill and bumper all of which was repaired for $725 (I have the original estimate). You can actually see where the repair took place because the older paint has faded, but the repair paint has not. Absolutely no structural damage. - the right rear passenger side light needs to be replaced - the right rear driver side light has a small crack - the front lights are really cloudy ( don't know if that was always like that - just an observation) - the stripping on one window in coming loose - the glove box lock is broken, and we used duck tape to hold it in place - some of the stripping along the exterior sides has come off, but the pieces are in the car - there is a plastic piece in the boot, but I don't know what it's from - some where under the car - normal wear of interior and exterior associated with a 21 year old car - in 1998 we moved to a county that does not require emissions inspection, so I don't know about that, but since it's a classic (I terms of age not last year made), that may not matter Oh, and the cassette player doesn't work (for those of you that have that ginormous cassette collection). My daughter, now a senior at VT, put pennies or bologna in it - I can't remember which honestly (it was one of the two), but it hasn't worked in years - so how did she manage to get into VT? Just saying. That is everything that I could see upon a visual inspection. I do have all the original books, etc., but the owners manual got wet. I also have a lot of the original repair/work receipts - not all I'm sure, but a lot of them. It seems to me I replaced a heck of a lot of tires! I will try to answer any questions, but like I said, I can only answer to my seriously limited knowledge of cars. Look within a few hours, I have many watchers, AND QUESTIONS. You could cannibalize this car for over a thousand AT LEAST. As a limited edition, it has the original wood trim on the interior and super whatever hubcaps. Just updating. |

Volvo calls in S60 T5 over oil pressure indicator
Mon, 30 Dec 2013As anyone with a driver's license should be able to tell you, the oil pressure indicator on a car is a vital feature. If you don't have enough oil pressure, your engine could seize up, leaving you stranded and causing catastrophic damage for both your automobile and your wallet. Worryingly, then, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that the oil pressure indicator lamp on certain Volvo S60 models is prone to failure, prompting the manufacturer to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to MY2011-2012 Volvo S60s with turbocharged five-cylinder engines manufactured between June 22, 2010 and May 14, 2012. All told, precisely 30,929 units are affected by the recall campaign. The owners of affected models will be notified by Volvo to bring in their cars to their local dealer for a software update. See the official notice below for details.
Volvo S60 Polestar entering limited production in Australia [w/video]
Wed, 10 Apr 2013The Volvo S60 Polestar Concept may be entering limited production in Australia and, depending how the Aussies take to this Swedish super sports sedan, could then be made available worldwide. The news comes from Austrlia's GoAuto, which claims to have received early info from its sources inside Volvo and its tuning/motorsport arm, Polestar.
Polestar released a short teaser video this week (watch it below) of what appears to be the S60 Polestar Concept clipping the snowy apex of an ice track's turn. The only information given with the teaser were the words "Limited Edition. Soon in Australia." Unveiled last June, the S60 Polestar concept has since made the rounds at auto shows, visited Jay Leno's Garage, played on the track with its future competition, and even secured a home for itself with a buyer who reportedly is paying Volvo some $300,000 to own it.
The S60 Polestar Concept is about the meanest machine one can imagine making out of Volvo's sports sedan. Packing 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque from its heavily modified T6 engine, then routing those revolutions through a six-speed manual transmission to all four wheels, the S60 Polestar is said to cover the sprint to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds. A lower and wider body, brakes by Brembo, suspension bits by Ohlins and a diet to delete some weight make this car a serious issue for M3 and C63 AMG owners everywhere. GoAuto's sources say the production version's performance will be dialed back a bit from the concept's, but we'll have to wait until Volvo and Polestar make this sedan's production official to find out by how much.
Volvo finds a way to turn body panels into batteries [w/video]
Thu, 17 Oct 2013One of the problems with designing an electric vehicle is figuring out where to fit the battery pack. Volvo - as a part of a European Union research project - is working on a way around this issue by replacing standard parts with lightweight components that double as batteries on both conventional and plug-in vehicles. The image above shows one such piece on a Volvo S80. While looking like nothing more than a carbon fiber plenum cover, the piece is actually a battery pack that can store and supply enough energy for the car's entire 12-volt power system.
The parts are made by sandwiching super capacitors (which can charge faster than standard batteries) in between layers of carbon fiber. They can then be formed to replace numerous body panels such as the decklid, roof or door panels. Volvo says that the replacing the body panels and batteries with these nano batteries can help reduce the vehicle's weight by as much as 15 percent. It has taken more than three years just to design the batteries, so there's no telling when, or if, we'll ever see this technology used on a production vehicle.
