I purchased this Volvo almost 3 years ago from a dealer in Georgia. Other than the past 3 years with me (in Upstate New York) this car had 1 other owner in Southern California. The original owner had this car for over 20 years and took supreme care of it. It has been a fantastic car for me with very few issues. For a 23 year old car it has plenty of get up and go! I have done my best to service it regularly and keep it clean. However... my dog bit the drivers seat in a couple of places which I photographed. The blue leather seats have a lot of wear but I guess that comes with an older car. Again, please look at the photos.

If you are looking at this listing it's probably because you already know the 240 Volvo is a reliable, iconic car. Known for safety and stability. These cars are getting scarce... especially ones without rust and low mileage!

Not long after I purchased this Volvo a woman pulled out and hit the front passenger side. The body shop was able to repair the fender without replacing it. Since the car had spent so many years in the California sun the paint was pretty dull so with the extra insurance money I had it re-painted this pretty gorgeous shade of blue. No rust, this car is BEAUTIFUL!

I know everyone says this but I do hate to part with this car. However, with car seats and a dog I needed to upgrade to a station wagon. Truthfully, this car deserves better :)

Pros :

? Low miles : < 97,625

? Gorgeous Body

? 2 Owners

? Driven and Maintained

? Ready to Drive!

? No SMOKING ... EVER!

? Few 240's exist in this great condition

? All new brakes last summer

? Extra hub caps! (I found they tend to fall off so I saved the ones from my prior 240)

? Overall reliable and well loved car

Cons (I admit there are a few!) :

? Needs new exhaust and muffler from catalytic converter back

? Worn Interior with a holes in the driver seat and cracks on the dashboard

? Radio does not work

? Missing front L corner molding

Please write with any questions! Full Payment Due 3 business days after auction end. Pick up / delivery is the responsibility of the buyer. Thanks!

Volvo to finally replace XC90 in 2014

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

There's not a whole lot of life left in the current Volvo XC90, but it seems a replacement is on the way. According to What Car?, Volvo will launch its new flagship crossover sometime in 2014, riding on an all new platform that will eventually underpin several models in the company's range.
According to Volvo boss Hakan Samuelsson, this new architecture will eventually underpin the next-generation S60, V70, S80 and XC60, all of which will be getting mid-cycle enhancements over the next year. In speaking to What Car?, Samuelsson said that Volvo would not try to follow the paths set by BMW and Mercedes-Benz, instead focusing on "safety, elegant design and user-friendly functionality" for its next round of new cars.
The new XC90 will remain a seven-passenger vehicle and will be powered by a range of four-cylinder engines. Volvo will soon be dropping the five- and six-cylinder powertrains from its lineup.

2024 Volvo C40 and XC40 Recharge First Drive Review: Back to the RWD future

Sat, May 6 2023

The 2024 Volvo XC40 Recharge and C40 EVs will be available with rear-wheel drive, replacing the front-wheel-drive version that has been the fraternal pairing’s single-motor base model. This is obviously newsworthy Â— why else would I be writing about it? But does it actually mean anything? After driving both of these vehicles around the lakes, seaside, perfectly-maintained highways, and cobblestoned urban streets proximate to the brandÂ’s headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, I can say that the answer is, not really. But thatÂ’s not really VolvoÂ’s fault. The last time Volvo sold a rear-wheel-drive vehicle in the United States was 1998 when the cushy, brick-like 960 was retired (officially S90 and V90 in their final year). Everything thereafter was front-wheel drive or at least on a front-drive-based platform, in no small part due to the additional all-weather traction and stability afforded by the additional weight of an internal combustion engine and transaxle over the drive wheels. In short, it was safer, and even as Volvo moved away from decades of arcane, rectilinear design, safety remained its raison dÂ’etre. Â That hasnÂ’t changed, but according to Volvo, EVs have fundamentally changed vehicle dynamics, centers of gravity, and weight distribution to refute the front-drive argument. A Volvo spokesperson told me that this new one-motor layout in the XC/C40, driving the rear wheels, with contemporary advanced driver assistance systems, is better in inclement weather than a gas-engine/FWD combo. That explains why the switch to a standard rear-drive layout doesnÂ’t run afoul of VolvoÂ’s established ethos, but why make the switch in the first place? Whether it was the plan all along, or just an advancement of next-generation technology to prolong and extend the relevance of these vehicles, is not something Volvo would comment on. In any event, many of the base EVs that are in or near the XC/C40Â’s competitive set Â— the VW ID.4, the Kia EV6, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 Â— feature rear-wheel drive in their single-motor setup. It is notable that all of those cars were developed from the ground up as EVs and could be optimized for the aforementioned dynamics. The XC40 and C40 were built on a platform capable of accommodating gas-only, plug-in hybrid and full-electric powertrains.
