1991 Volvo 240 Station Wagon.

 

The little station wagon runs very well, it handles great, drives straight, tight and solid like it should.

 

Very well maintained by an owner with vehicular OCD! lol

 

139600 original miles showing on a working odometer.

 

4 Cylinder engine with Automatic transmission that shifts smoothly.

 

Power windows (All work)

 

Cold A/C (Brand new evaporator core, newer compressor and dryer, Repair total was $1800.00)

 

AM/FM/CD aftermarket system.

 

The clock in the dash works and keeps time!

 

Timing belt replaced about 2 years ago.

 

Newer brakes. Disc brakes all around.

 

Tuned up about 6 months ago, plugs, wires, belts, hoses etc.

 

New ECU ($500.00) also about 6 months ago. When replaced, I opted for one with a 5 year warranty rather than a 2 year for an extra $200.00 bucks.

 

Goodyear tires with probably 90% of their tread remaining (matching set).

 

Paint is in very nice condition, I had the hood and roof painted about a year ago as they were starting to fade. Overall, there are a few hard to locate scratches on the car, and the tailgate has a two small dings (pictured), other than that, the old girl looks like a car that is 1/10 her age.

 

Always a Florida car.

 

Privacy tinted rear windows.

 

All lights work, including the rear third tailgate brake light.

 

Interior (original navy Blue) is in really nice condition, seats show some wear, but not much, door panels are excellent as are the door map pockets, dash is nice, seats both front and rear are in good shape.

 

Carpet which has been protected by the Volvo all weather floor mats is in really nice condition. There is also an all weather mat for the rear cargo area carpet as well (not pictured, it was in the garage when I did the cars photo shoot).  

 

Rear cargo roll up cover, it doesn’t retract well.

 

Headliner is good.

 

And for the cons:

Both horn and cruise control work intermittently, the horn issue is recent, the cruise hasn’t worked in the 4+ years I’ve had the wagon.

I’d replaced the center console between the front seats and it never fit quite right.

Outer rubber door window seals are showing their age and have some cracking (pictured).

Stereo speakers aren’t all that great. Either the ones in the front doors don’t work, or I’ve got the fade and balance on the radio adjusted incorrectly.

The “burned out bulb warning light” on the dash illuminates on and off when the lights are on. I’ve found no burned out bulbs, I’ve replaced all the bulbs in an effort to fix this issue, but to no avail.

 

Any questions, feel free to shoot me an email.

 

If you are local (or even if you’re not) and would like to inspect the car prior to bidding, let me know and we can certainly make arrangements for you to do so.

 

Thanks.

2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge First Drive Review | Pumping up the electric range

Thu, Mar 24 2022

PALM SPRINGS, Calif — It may not look like it on the outside, but the 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge is a substantially updated plug-in hybrid SUV. In fact, the entire XC60 line is refreshed for the 2022 model year, but weÂ’re going to zero in on the Recharge PHEV.  Volvo let us spend a day behind the wheel of the newly-announced “extended range” Recharge model in sunny California, and we came away with far more feelings than expected from this Swedish crossover. Just so everybody is on the same page, the “extended range” Recharge represents a mid-model-year refresh of the XC60 Recharge. There were 2022 model year XC60 Recharge models sold prior to today that featured the same electric hardware as prior model years, and therefore featured the old EPA-estimated electric range of 19 miles on a full charge. The “extended range” model that we drove bumps that all the way up to 36 miles, nearly doubling the previous range. Volvo says that these new “extended range” models are the ones shipping to dealers now, not the older model. This is definitely something to be aware of in later years should you find a used 2022 XC60. So, how has Volvo found this much extra range? The big difference is in the battery pack, going from an 11.6-kilowatt-hour pack to an 18.8-kWh pack. Volvo managed to package a third layer of cells into the pack that it didnÂ’t have before, and it did so in the same space as before — it continues to run along the carÂ’s spine in the center tunnel area. Volvo claims that this more energy-dense battery pack will take 5-8 hours to charge when hooked up to a 240V power source, so you should easily get a full charge by leaving it plugged in overnight, assuming you have the applicable charging hardware.  This new battery pack is paired with a totally revamped powertrain setup. The layout is the same as before. That means there is an electric motor positioned on the rear axle that drives the rear wheels and a gasoline engine in front that exclusively powers the front wheels, thereby giving the XC60 Recharge all-wheel drive. To our delight, both the electric motor and the gasoline engine are new this year. The new rear electric motor represents a big power boost, with 143 horsepower greatly surpassing the old motorÂ’s 87 horsepower. Ultimately, this means that the XC60 Recharge is now significantly more enjoyable to drive in its purely electric mode (aptly named “Pure”).

Volvo promises new direct-injected diesels, 8-speed auto

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

As a part of eliminating its dependence on Ford platforms and powertrains, Volvo has previously announced information about its Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) and Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA), but now we're finally getting some details about what will power some of the Swedish automaker's next-generation products.
The biggest key to VEA on the diesel engines is a new technology Volvo calls i-ART. This system uses unique injectors at each cylinder capable of monitoring fuel pressure and adjusting accordingly to maximize fuel economy and performance and reduce emissions. Looking ahead, Volvo says its four-cylinder engines will be able to offer the power of a six-cylinder and eventually, mixed with some sort of electrification, will be able to rival the performance of a V8 and "turn V8s into dinosaurs."
More details about the new diesel injection technology is posted in the press release below.

Watch this video, then buy this 1993 Volvo wagon

Mon, 12 May 2014

Do you want to be perceived as rich and cuddly? Of course you do. Then you need to buy this car.
We know it makes no sense, but that pretty much sums up our take on the video you'll see below, in which a man by the name of Christoffer Castor, from Scania County in Southern Sweden, attempts to convince any and all who watch to buy his car. The car in question is a 1993 Volvo 240 wagon, in red with a black fabric interior.
We have quite a bit of respect for the old boxy Volvo wagons here at Autoblog, and, despite the presence of some unsightly rust on the tailgate, would gladly bum about in this particular 240. We especially appreciate the five-speed manual gearbox and that it's from the car's final year in production.
