The vehicle has about 390k on it but it has been very well maintained.  A mechanical restoration was done about 5 years ago at about 340K miles.  The engine was replaced with one from a 93 240 and now has about 175K on it and runs great. The gearbox was completely rebuilt about two years ago (30K ago). At that time the clutch, throw out bearing and pilot bearing were replaced. In addition, a new timing belt and water pump were installed. 

The car has many upgrades including:

IPD sway bars front and rear, 
Glass Euro head lights, 
Custom turbo grille and fog lights, 
93 dashboard, 
Leather shift cover, sport steering wheel, 
Heated seats, heated remote mirrors (not currently working) 
Working A/C, which was converted to R134 and includes a new condenser, the larger 93 evaporator, electronics, switching and condenser fan.  It blows cold.  
Large tach, oil pressure and volt gauges, 
Sony stereo with USB port for Ipod, 6x9 coaxial rear speakers, with Pioneer coax front speakers, 
Original plastic floor trays and head-rest covers that match the seats. 
Black '93 trim around the windows, side running lights and newer tail lights. 
All of the plastic trim was removed for a cleaner look. 
Professionally restored Virgo wheels with newer Bridgestone tires. 

At about 340K the following was done:
New suspension bushings all around, new gas struts front and rear, new strut bearings, new wiring harness, new blower motor, heater core and heater valve, newer style power steering pump with integral reservoir. New rear axle bearings, new u-joints. New poly accessory bushings.

Last year:
New turbo type exhaust system, new voltage regulator, tune up with IPD ignition wires, coolant change and flush. New front calipers and brakes. Car has ceramic brakes in the rear and drilled rotors all around. New fuel filter and fuel line.  New fan clutch

Defects:
No rust except two smaller bubbles at the top and bottom of windshield on passenger side as shown in the pictures.  The windshield is cracked, but will be replaced before buyer pics up the car.

Small dent in driver's side fender near the front; noticeable, but not terribly unsightly. Small ripple in top surface of driver's door.  The paint is original except for the trunk lid, which was repainted.
Small oil leak from rear main seal,
Front seals are ready to be replaced; seals drive belts and timing belt will go with the car. 

Summary:
A great looking, good running, very well maintained car. Engine runs great, transmission shifts smoothly with no unusual noises or vibrations.  Car handles extremely well with the lighter wheels, performance tires and IPD suspension hardware.  

Since changing the engine, I've used Mobil 1 and Mann filters for all oil changes at every 4K miles. Redline Synthetic fluid in gearbox, synthetic fluid in rear end. 

Car is available for inspection upon request.

Volvo V90 Cross Country vs V60 Cross Country Luggage Test | Comparing cargo areas

Fri, Jun 4 2021

While the Audi A6 Allroad and Mercedes E 450 All-Terrain have disappointed us with their poseur levels of capability and questionable value, that is not the case with the other midsize luxury off-roadish wagon: the 2021 Volvo V90 Cross Country. It has genuinely useful extra ground clearance and a lower, more sensible price. But what about that other element of wagon goodness, utility?  Although I have not luggage-tested the Allroad or All-Terrain, Road Test Editor Zac Palmer effectively did so using different luggage and different A6/E-Class wagon variants. Our results are therefore only vaguely comparable. My guess is the Mercedes would win the day and the V90 would top the Audi, but again, that's just a guess. I have, however, luggage-tested Volvo's smaller off-roadish wagon, the V60 Cross Country. Surprisingly, the difference between Cross Countries isn't that great.  According to Volvo's wonderfully detailed cargo specifications that indicate what exactly they measured (hint hint, every other car company), the V90 Cross Country (above left) has 25.5 cubic-feet of space behind the back seat from floor to roof. The V60 Cross Country (right) has 23.2 cubic feet. That's not much of a difference.  However, Volvo also provides the cargo area length from the seat base to the liftgate. That's a bigger difference on paper: 45.4 inches for the V90 and 40.7 inches for the V60. That would play out once I brought the luggage into the equation.  Before we get to the bags, though, take one more look at the above comparison photo. Check out the different D pillars and specifically how much more upright the V60's are. That's my guess as to why the V90 cargo area manages to be so much longer, yet has only a minor volume difference.  Same bags, same formation, different Volvo wagons. You clearly see here that there's more length available in the V90. Five inches more? I don't know about that, but you nevertheless DO get more space.  As with every luggage test I do, I use two midsize roller suitcases that would need to be checked in at the airport (26 inches long, 16 wide, 11 deep), two roll-aboard suitcases that just barely fit in the overhead (24L x 15W x 10D), and one smaller roll-aboard that fits easily (23L x 15W x 10D). I also include my wife's fancy overnight bag just to spruce things up a bit (21L x 12W x 12D).

How the new Volvo EX90 electric SUV adds revolution to the evolution

Tue, May 9 2023

The all-new, all-electric Volvo EX90 does not appear to be radically different from the XC90, the vehicle it will eventually replace. It has nearly the same dimensions, inside and out. It sports familiar, familial design cues, including T-shaped “ThorÂ’s Hammer” headlights, a squared-off hood and roofline, sharply-swaged and deeply-scalloped flanks and tall taillights that fringe the hatch. Inside, three accessible rows of seats are done up in an upscale Scandinavian Modern motif, like an Arne Jacobsen furniture showroom. But if one looks closely, one begins to notice key differences. First, there is the blunt, closed snout up front. It may be grille-less, but itÂ’s still bedecked with VolvoÂ’s Iron Mark. Then, dead centered above the rearview mirror, like a pair of reading glasses canted atop oneÂ’s forehead, is a protruding hump. These hint at the EXÂ’s most comprehensive distinctions from its predecessor. The new full-size crossover is engine-less, the first Volvo to be built on an all-new battery-powered electric vehicle platform. And housed in that hump, is another first, the initial consumer vehicular integration of a functional lidar — like radar, but using light instead of sound waves — used to allow the carÂ’s advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to “see” further down the road, even around bends and through some objects. Eventually, allegedly, it will also allow for “unsupervised driving” capabilities. Both of these features are signifiers of VolvoÂ’s latest, but ongoing, missions. The first is its commitment to a full electrification of its entire passenger car fleet, which it plans to accomplish by the end of this decade. The second is the brandÂ’s well-known leadership in vehicular safety. Volvo claims that its new suite of sensors (16 ultra-sonic, eight cameras, five radars and the lidar) can help prevent 10% of vehicular collisions and 20% of serious injuries, part of the brandÂ’s mission to prevent anyone from being killed or seriously injured in a Volvo. ThereÂ’s even a group of sensors monitoring the driverÂ’s wellbeing to make sure theyÂ’re not sleepy or wasted, while concurrently scanning the passenger compartment to ensure that no child or pet was left behind due to that aforementioned tired or inebriated state. If they forget, theyÂ’ll get an alert on their phone, which is also their key, and the A/C or heater will automatically turn on so the precious (yet forgotten) cargo doesnÂ’t bake/freeze.

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon

Tue, Jan 3 2017

The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.
