The Volvo 240 is one of the most reliable cars ever made and that's why you still see them on the road today! Check out this amazing 1989 Volvo 240. 
Great condition - complete with full service and oil records from the first owner up to 90,000 miles provided upon request. I always get looks and questions about this car and I will be sad to see it go. 
This vehicle is sold AS IS.

The Good: 
  • The engine runs strong and gets around 30mpg mainly highway, but I do some city driving too.
  • Has been well maintained and as I said earlier I have the records in the service booklet.  
  • Always local to central Illinois and owners know each other.  (So I know the history and that it was maintained well previously.)
  • Transmission shifts really well and recently replaced the overdrive relay with a OEM unit.  
  • Newer cd player that works.  
  • Very clean interior with great seats and original all weather floor mats.
  • Brakes are in good condition and tires all have good tread on them.  
  • Exhaust system is in good condition as well.  
  • All lights work except the dash lights, but I have LED lights placed there so you can see at night.  

The Bad: 
  • The dash lights that i mentioned earlier, but like I said I have put lights there so it isn't an issue at night (also, they tun on when you turn the headlights on.) 
  • The car has heated seats, but they blow the fuse for them if they are on too long.  Not sure why, but a mechanic said it is a ground issue i think.  
  • The body is not perfect, but the car is 24 years old.  (Look at the photos)
  • A/C does not work, but heat is great.  
  • The suspension doesn't have anything broken, but could use new lower control arm bushings and rear trail arm bushings.  (priced at around $200 for both kits.)
  • All of the dash instruments work, but the odometer and trip stopped working around a year and a half ago.  My best estimate is the car has between 130,000-135,000 miles on it.
I think that is all.  If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me.  I bought a newer Volvo so this one has to go.  I love the car and wish I could keep both, but that would be selfish.  So I hope that whoever wins the auction has many years of enjoyment from the car.

I'm sorry I forgot to mention that the hood is a little higher on the passenger side. This is an issue you see in many 240's because the hinge locks, but these have been oiled so you shouldn't have any issues with the hood.

Next-generation Volvo XC90 interior revealed

Tue, 27 May 2014

Volvo has officially kicked off the slow burn that will lead to the eventual unveiling of the next-generation XC90, in August. Its initial foray into the public eye will be with these, a series of 20 images of the new three-row SUVs interior, which is very, very Swedish (there are even the most adorable little Swedish flags on the seats).
In all, it looks like a positively sumptuous place to sit, with sharp looking woods and a crystal shifter, crafted by Orrefors Glassworks in Sweden. It's a clean, minimalist design that we imagine will age quite nicely.
Featured quite prominently - and the main part of the cabin that doesn't strike us as minimalist - is the very large touchscreen. Aligned in a portrait layout, which hasn't been done by too many automakers, it will be home to a new type of infotainment system that will make its debut in Volvo's flagship SUV. It also looks like we can expect digital gauges when the XC90 finally arrives.

Volvo recommits to Sweden with development of next-gen platform and engines

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

Taking into account the facts that Volvo is now owned by China's Geely and how poorly the European automotive market has been recently, we would have definitely understood if Volvo moved production of its products out of its home market. And yet, the automaker has confirmed that it will be investing billions of dollars into new platforms and engines that will be made in Sweden. On a global scale, Volvo is making roughly $11 billion of investments, and close to half of that is being earmarked for Sweden for plant expansion and upgrades.
The new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform will be the used as the basis for most future Volvo products starting with the next-generation XC90 that will be debuting at the end of 2014. SPA will be used to make up two-thirds of Volvo's sales, and gives Volvo a quicker and easier break from Ford-derived platforms. As for the Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) family of engines, there are really no details about this mill except that it will be a four-cylinder that is more fuel efficient than current engines.

Volvo confirms return of the wagon with V60 headed to US

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Turns out that promised new production Volvo model for the United States is indeed the V60 wagon, as we had previously predicted. And it's not terribly surprising, as Volvo has a long and storied history of wagon sales in the US, from the old, loveable 240 to the more recent high-performance V70R. And yet the automaker hasn't had a proper non-XC, non-crossover-style wagon in the US since it pulled the V70 away at the end of the 2010 model year.
"The new Volvo V60 is for people who want the handling of a dynamic sports sedan but need the versatility of a wagon," says Volvo, highlighting the reason many of us on the Autoblog team harbor such fondness for wagons in general.
Volvo is currently showing off the R-Design package for its entire model line, including the V60, at the New York Auto Show. We don't know for sure if the V60 will launch with the R-Design package or if it will come at a later date, and we also see no mention of a Polestar edition, though we're hopeful.
