1990 Volvo 240 Dl Sedan 4-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States
|
This vehicle was purchased as part of an estate sale. The original husband/wife owners from North Carolina kept this vehicle garaged and serviced for approximately 23 years ! This car is in MINT condition for the year. You would be hard-pressed to find a nicer, cleaner and more beautiful 1990 Volvo 240 DL ! The safety & reliability of the Volvo 240 is legendary. This car is a TANK and is in stunning condition. A stack of maintenance paperwork, the original owners manual and 2 sets of keys for this Volvo. This vehicle always starts on the first try and simply floats down the highway -- drives SO good, you would never know the car was almost 25 years old ! We would definitely be keeping this one but we are getting a new Acura and unfortunately the Acura will get the Volvo's spot in the garage. This vehicle has been garaged and protected all of its life and we just don't want it to sit outside (and we don't really have the space for it). The exterior paint is in GORGEOUS condition with no signs of rust anywhere. I cannot even find a door-ding which is amazing for a 25 year old car. The interior is a medium blue color and is in extra good condition. The headliner (white headliner) is nearly PERFECT! Seat upholstery and carpet are incredibly clean. This would be a perfect first car or a car for the Volvo enthusiast. The odometer stopped working at 200,625 miles (this is a very common problem with the Volvo 240's). The odometer can be repaired at a Volvo dealership or you could probably find a mechanic to fix this. On the last trip to get the oil changed, the mechanic said the vehicle probably has approximately 220K miles would be his best guess. He also stated he had never seen a 240 come in to his shop in such great condition. I was told that the air conditioner requires a freon charge every summer/every other summer. This vehicle has all of the original Volvo glass (no cracks, chips, etc). to have original glass all the way around on a car nearly 25 years old is remarkable. We are located close to the Knoxville TN area. If you want the car shipped, you will be responsible for setting all of that up. We have Greyhound Bus Station, MegaBus and an airport all in close proximity. If you have any questions you can contact me at 865.235.4805 (please contact me before 10PM EST). If you would like additional pics, please let me know. Thanks and Happy Bidding ! :)

Volvo S80 nip/tuck spotted in China
Sun, 16 Dec 2012An early look at the new face of the Volvo S80 has made its way to the web. The Chinese site Auto Sina spotted a revised version of the country's S80L out in public and in plain view. Not too long ago, Doug Speck, the global head of marketing and sales for Volvo, said designers were working on a mild facelift for the S60 and S80, and while it is possible the Swedish manufacturer will roll out a different front fascia for the US market, the move seems unlikely.
The S80L seen here boats a tweaked grille and a Passat-inspired lower valance. New wheels and side-view mirrors also appear to be part of the update, as does a modified rear bumper and exhaust outlets. Volvo is set to debut the facelifed S80 next year, and while the manufacturer hasn't delivered an exact time frame, good money is on the vehicle showing up at the Detroit Auto Show in January or the Geneva Motor Show in March. Stay tuned for more information.
IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Volvo debuts new Drive-E four-cylinder engines
Fri, 16 Aug 2013
Volvo is introducing a new engine family based on its new Drive-E philosophy, which encompasses "all innovations made to reduce the impact on the environment," the automaker says. Less cylinders allows for less environmental impact, so the new engines are all four-pots. They also were designed to pair easily with Volvo's upcoming hybrid drive system, which "will reach power figures in the V8 territory" and play a "dominant part of the top end of [Volvo's] range," says Derek Crabb, Vice President Powertrain Engineering. Volvo also says we can expect "power curves that give exciting drivability compared with engines with more cylinders."
Volvo says some versions of the engine were designed targeting best-in-class fuel economy. There are both gasoline and diesel options, but the latter of which isn't scheduled for US consumption. Instead, the US will be offered two states of tune of the gasoline Drive-E engine for front-wheel-drive vehicles. Some of Volvo's current all-wheel-drive powertrains will remain available in the US until the company has transitioned solely to the new, fuel-efficient inline-fours.
