- TME Sport Springs (Car is lower than factory and looks fantastic)
- Seriously awesome IPD Heavy Duty Aluminum Skid Plate made for the Volvo 240

- Volvo rear sunshade
- Volvo heavy duty floor trays
- New map pockets recently
- Hella Fog Lights mounted below the front bumper
- Tinted side and rear glass
- Car includes an alarm system with keyless remotes, but always seemed too sensitive, so we turned off the hidden kill switch. It's new buyer can switch it back on and mess with the sensitivity :)
- Also includes a hard-to-find Thule "rain gutter clamp style" rooftop Bike rack, with front wind break.
- Includes a really cool purple valve cover on the engine. Your mechanic will love it. :)
- We JUST replaced the battery. Texas weather is brutal on batteries. The old one let go last month.
- The driver seat grid and/or lower seat foam is failing. This is actually a VERY common issue on the 240's. The upholstery is fine, but the outside of the lower cushion is "leaning" a little because the cushion foam is dried out. There is a company called Wagonmeister dot com that has an excellent (better than OEM) fix for the cushion and grid issue.
- The A/C was working last summer, but has stopped working recently. All the fans blow, and the switch seems to work, but the compressor clutch doesn't seem to switch on. I'll have our mechanic look at it next week to determine the cause. If it's something stupid like a wire, relay or fuse - I will get it fixed. One of the lines going into the firewall is pinched (it's highlighted in one of the photos), but it was that way last year and still worked fine (abet slightly less than a perfectly working AC).
- The power window switches on the driver's door are working fine, but the driver's side window switch recently "dropped" a little in the array. It still works, but should probably be changed soon. I'm sure it's a cheap fix.
- The factory Volvo cruise control is not currently working, but this sale DOES include the part (new stalk/switches) to get it working again.
- There is a small crack in the dash, where the instrument "cover" meets the flat part of the dash. We've always has a dash cover on it (included) so didn't even notice the small crack until we photographed it for this sale. The rest of the interior is in remarkable condition of any car, much less a 200k survivor!

Volvo to test 100 self-driving cars on Swedish roads [w/video]
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Autonomous vehicles are increasingly being tested on public roads around the globe, including Nissan in Japan and Google here in the US, and now Volvo is preparing to test its own self-driving cars on the streets of Sweden. In conjunction with the state government, Volvo's Drive Me project kicks off next year, starting with the development of customer research and infrastructure technology before setting 100 self-driving cars loose on the streets of Gothenburg in 2017.
These 100 cars will be in the hands of customers, and the tests will help Volvo and the Swedish government track varying aspects of self-driving cars including economic benefits, consumer confidence, traffic flow and passenger safety. The technology being developed by Volvo uses not only on-board radar and sensors but also map data gathered from the cloud, and it controls all driving systems including the brakes, throttle and steering. Drivers can engage and disengage the car's autonomous drive mode by pushing a button on the steering wheel, and the technology will also allow for a self-parking feature.
While the cars shown in this demo are S60 models, the test vehicles will be based on Volvo's upcoming Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), which underpins future models like the next-gen Volvo XC90. Scroll down for a video and press release marking the announcement.
Volvo Polestar reveals new V8 Supercars engine
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Volvo may be better known for turbo fives and inline fours, but in 2005 it launched the XC90 with a new eight-cylinder engine built for it by Yamaha. Fast forward to this past June when Volvo announced its intention to enter Australia's V8 Supercars series, where it would compete with the likes of Ford, Holden, Nissan and Mercedes-AMG. This is the engine with which it intends to do so.
Revealed this weekend at the Sydney 500, this competition-spec powerplant is based on the same B8444S that powered the XC90 and S80 (not to mention the Noble M600), but tuned for racing duty to be shoehorned into the new S60 touring car. The 60-degree aluminum block has been bored out from 4.4 liters to 5.0, its compression ratio boosted to 10:1, modified to run on E85 bio-ethanol and its redline increased to 7500 rpm. Volvo also promises a unique engine note from its new racers.
While Volvo and its racing partner Polestar haven't released official output numbers, regulations call for outputs between 620 and 650 horsepower - in any event, a whole lot more than the 311 hp it produces in stock form. (Noble managed to squeeze that much out of the same block, but that required twin turbochargers while this unit remains naturally aspirated.) Scope out the details in the press release below and the photos from the reveal in the gallery above.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
