For sale is my 1991 Volvo 240. The car has been great to me over the time I have owned it, and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. This is a special delivery diplomat car that was originally bought in Sweden by the previous owner. I am actually the second owner of the car. It features, Anit-lock brakes, power windows, power door locks, and cruise control. They all function as they should as well. The car is slightly lowered to give a little better stance and a better look. It also features a few extras that I added on. It has black turbo trim, that I repainted. It also features 16" 740 turbo rims. The rims have two tires that are almost new, however, the other two have ok tread buy are worn very crooked. I also added in the stock Volvo small tach in the dash. The car has an Alpine head unit and Infinity 5.25's in the front in the stock Volvo surrounds. There are many new parts on the car which include:
Completely repainted - Dec' 12
New radiator - Jan '13
New timing belt and water pump - Jan '12
Fresh tune up (plugs, wires, car, rotor, air filter) - Mar '13
New back half of exhaust with a Thrush glass pack muffler and straight tip Feb - '13 (One rear exhaust hanger fell off so the exhaust rattles a bit now)
The car drives great as is but has a few little things that could use some attention. First off the odometer in the car does not work (a very common problem for these). It has been stuck at 206,000 since I bought the car. It has approximately 235,000 miles on it at this point. The AC does not work. It may just need a charge but I have never investigated the issue. It needs a new overdrive solenoid, as it sometimes does not like to shift into overdrive right away. I actually have a brand new one, but it is just not installed at the moment. Also, the blower motor makes a lot of noise at times. It does work on all settings but can be loud at times. There is a slight leak in the heater core, as when the heat is on the windows like to fog up. Finally, the left hood hinge has a slight bend in it and thus makes the hood sit a slight bit out of alignment. I do have a good replacement, however, it is tan. This will be included with the car. The check engine light is on (has been since I got the car). These issues do not effect the driveability of the car, and as I said I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere.
This car has been great to me and I am very sad to see her go, but I recently acquired a new car and I can't afford to keep all of them. That is the only reason I'm selling. Thanks for looking. The car is listed for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early.

Volvo to complete concept car trilogy in Geneva
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volvo went through some doldrums around the same time it was bought by Geely, but it proved that it was back when it unveiled the P1800-inpsired Concept Coupe last August at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It followed up with the sleek Concept XC Coupe crossover (pictured above) in Detroit that echoed the next-generation XC90. Now, the Swede is readying one more concept to bring the trilogy to an end, and act as the centerpiece of its display at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
There are no images of the new concept yet, not even a teaser, but Volvo says that like the other two, it's designed by Thomas Ingenlath and shares common design elements. Since it has already imagined a future coupe and crossover, maybe the concept is a sedan. Volvo has confirmed that it rides on the modular Scalable Product Architecture platform that is being used on multiple future production models and uses its new Drive-E four-cylinder engine family.
The Concept Coupe and Concept XC Coupe will be on display with the new concept in Geneva so that visitors can get a complete idea of Volvo's future. Hopefully, the company has finally righted the course and is ready to compete on the world stage again. Scroll down to read Volvo's few details about the new concept.
Volvo to use Oz as test bed for more Polestar models?
Tue, 25 Jun 2013We've already told you about the slightly more awesome version of the Volvo S60 that our friends Down Under can now get their hands on. And according to Aussie site Drive.com.au, Volvo may look to the land of Oz for future testing of new, Polestar-tuned, high-performance models.
Volvo has reportedly confirmed that this S60 Polestar run will be an exercise in testing the acceptance of the Swedish tuner's presence as a proper competitor for things like BMW's M division or Mercedes-Benz's AMG. (A tall order, for sure.) "The world is watching this exercise with much interest," Volvo Cars Australia boss, Matt Braid, told Drive.com.au.
Hans Baath, Polestar Managing Director, reportedly hinted that the tuning house had already begun work on a hotter version of the V40 hatchback, but the project was scrapped in order to get the S60 program rolling. If there's success to be found here, this smaller hot hatch could be revisited, as well as a more powerful version of the XC60 crossover.
Tony Nicolosi named CEO of Volvo Cars North America
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Volvo announced today that it has named Tony Nicolosi, president and CEO of Volvo Car Financial Services VCFS), as the new CEO of Volvo Cars of North America (VCNA). Nicolosi replaces John Maloney, who chose to leave due to family obligations after Volvo offered him a position in Europe.
Volvo says Nicolosi will remain president and CEO of VCFS while he assumes VCNA's top position. The Swedish automaker also says a "permanent successor [to Maloney] as President and CEO will be the subject of a later announcement."
The move comes as part of a management shakeup that's part of a "larger transformation taking place at Volvo," the automaker says.
