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 brings a whole new 2014 showroom for Geneva's approval
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Sometimes it takes smaller automakers a bit longer than the industry average to rotate and freshen their product lineups. Volvo has taken a big swing for the 2014 model year in that regard, and has brought along a full product portfolio of new cars.
In the main, this means that the Swedish brand has fast-tracked facelifts for its already-attractive assemblage of sedans, wagons and crossovers. Volvo mainstays S60 and S80 have both gotten appearance modifications to freshen them for dealer lots, as well as added features inside the car. We're particularly happy to report that the spirited "60 cluster" models - S60, V60, XC60 - can now be had with optional paddle shifters on new, three-spoke steering wheels.
Below you'll find a whole bunch of image galleries of the revised Volvos, live and in person from the show floor in Geneva. For a bit more background on the Volvo updates, feel free to read our original announcement of the news or scroll down to catch the press release.
Geely to release models developed with Volvo in 2015
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Geely and Volvo will finally team up for a jointly developed vehicle, more than three years after the safety-minded Swedish brand was gobbled up by Geely's parent company, according to a report in Automotive News Europe. The story quotes Geely's CEO, Gui Sheng Yue saying, "We have entered into actual research and development stage and I believe we can see the new product in the year after next."
That means 2015, which is a mighty ambitious timetable to bring a vehicle to market. But as Geely's CEO explains, life isn't going to get any easier in the Chinese market, "Competitive pressure on domestic brands in the China market should increase considerably in the coming years as most major international brands are strengthening their presence," he told ANE. Those statements also tell us that we shouldn't expect to see Geely on American shores any time soon. The brand is simply too focused on topping the Chinese market, at least among CDM brands.
2015.5 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar [w/video]
Thu, 01 May 2014Polestar Performance has been around since 1996, but until recently, it only did two things: manage Volvo motorsports operations and run a specialist consumer-facing side that built concept cars and boosted Volvo's turbocharged production cars by 15 to 60 horsepower. Five years ago, it fulfilled its long-held desire to engineer an actual production car, first creating the C30 Polestar Performance Concept, a showcar that led to the C30 Polestar Limited Edition.
That foray led to the berserker, 508-horsepower 2013 S60 Polestar Concept that Auto Motor und Sport called "a hard slap in the face to the Germans," and that model led to the limited-edition S60 Polestar production car just for Australia, a car reviewers swooned for, with one comparing its chassis finesse to the Ferrari 458 Italia.
All of which is to say, Polestar has a good start for a motorsports and tuning company to make good on its production car dreams. The 2015 Volvo S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar keep that momentum going, and beautifully at that.
