We purchased this classic low mileage Volvo after it was donated to charity. It ran great when we got it. But unfortunately for us the car was all original - as in it had not been driven enough to be current on service. Our preparation for sale therefore included a battery, oil change, timing belt service, front brake pads & rotors, fuel pump, air filter, flame trap, a lower ball joint, exhaust pipe, a/c blower motor, tires and state inspection - basically all the things that either go wrong or normally need to be done, but all at once. Now this 240 runs and drives great - plenty of power (for a 240) smooth and all operational. This is a solid, rust free, fully serviced, low mileage vehicle - that's the good news. The bad news is that it was likely not garaged. Much of the plastic on the interior has deteriorated such as the dash, the center console and the seat belt covers in the back. The seats are actually really nice and consistent with the mileage. The door panels are good, one of the map pockets is still intact and this car has the plastic floor mat trays. It's not a perfect car but it is a good car. Due to the age, this vehicle cannot be financed. Please contact us for more details. Our vehicles are prepared for sale by Foreign Accents, and are located in the front section of the Foreign Accents parking lot. We are committed to offering clean, properly serviced, fairly priced automobiles. We assist with financing when possible and also have a Certied Pre-Owned program that extends the warranty coverage on some of our newer inventory. Please call or email us for more details.

Volvo promises new direct-injected diesels, 8-speed auto
Tue, 09 Apr 2013As a part of eliminating its dependence on Ford platforms and powertrains, Volvo has previously announced information about its Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) and Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA), but now we're finally getting some details about what will power some of the Swedish automaker's next-generation products.
The biggest key to VEA on the diesel engines is a new technology Volvo calls i-ART. This system uses unique injectors at each cylinder capable of monitoring fuel pressure and adjusting accordingly to maximize fuel economy and performance and reduce emissions. Looking ahead, Volvo says its four-cylinder engines will be able to offer the power of a six-cylinder and eventually, mixed with some sort of electrification, will be able to rival the performance of a V8 and "turn V8s into dinosaurs."
More details about the new diesel injection technology is posted in the press release below.

Volvo reveals V60 Cross Country ahead of LA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Volvo is bringing a model to the Los Angeles Auto Show that isn't afraid to get a little dirty. The Swedish automaker will finally unveil its V60 Cross Country crossover, and it has confirmed that the model will be available in North American markets shortly.
The Cross Country takes Volvo's standard V60 compact wagon and injects a little more off-road capability and visual flavor into the platform. US and Canadian models will arrive with Volvo's 250-horsepower, five-cylinder engine with a standard automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The company says the powertrain should get around 23 miles per gallon fuel economy on the combined cycle.
To be ready to go just a little bit off the beaten path, the suspension sits about 2.6-inches higher than the regular version. The body is also equipped with skid plates in the front and rear, side scuff plates, fender extensions and exhaust outlets integrated into the rear bumper. Hill Descent Control will also augment capability, as well.
