If you have been looking for the right 240 daily driver; this is it. Owned by a Volvo enthusiast: 1992 Volvo 240 Base Wagon. 162K miles. I looked for a long time for a great example and then did all the things to it that are needed to make these a dependable car for the second half of its life. This car has no rust, no cracks in the dash, clean title, good paint and it's been well cared for all its life. I hate to see this car go.
Not a repair but renewed because these are areas that 240s need attention: - suspension bushes in front. - crankcase oil breather box and plumbing - rear camshaft seal and IPD seal retainer kit - down pipe -- rest of exhaust was fine - rear shocks -- fronts fine - engine mounts - fuel filter and fuel pump - lambda sensor - hoses - belts - extra fuel pump relay - paint clayed, polished and sealed - The paint was in great shape to start with. This will make it last. - turn signal and brake light assemblies The following I did as a repair: - alternator - cam cover gasket Options on car: - fairly new OEM mud mats front, back and cargo - factory folding third row seat What the car needs now and in future as far as I can tell: - the battery is getting a little tired but is still tests good - power steering pump is also getting a little tired but not ready for replacement - radio antenna (full assembly) easy install and $63.40 from ipdusa.com - stereo speakers front and rear Defects: Door ding on driver's door. Scrape on back of front driver's side wheel well edge. See side image. Small tear on top of back seat. See image of cargo area. Various little things you find on a well cared for 22 year old car. Price is $6200. These go for $500 (junk but drives 300K+ miles) to $14,000 (perfect time machine <50K miles). It's hard to put value on these via blue book. I paid $5,500, after looking around a lot, and put about $3000 worth of work in it. These cars easily go 300K and I've taken care of the normal issues that may come up. This is my third Volvo wagon. The first two, I drove more than 300K miles and maintained them myself. Call me with any questions 530-598-9244.

Geely to sell $1.3 billion of Volvo Truck shares
Sat, Apr 20 2024China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group is selling the entirety of its Class B shares in truckmaker Volvo AB that were worth 14.46 billion Swedish krona ($1.32 billion) at the close of trading in Stockholm. In a statement, Geely said the divestment is “in accordance with its long-term strategy” and that it will remain VolvoÂ’s second-largest investor with 88.5 million A shares. “Geely HoldingÂ’s strategic adjustment and inclusion of AB Volvo in its automotive manufacturing and investment portfolio is part of the groupÂ’s risk management and diversified investment strategy,” the company said.  Geely is offering the 49.5 million shares through BofA Securities, Goldman Sachs Bank Europe and Barclays, according to a term sheet. The Sweden-based holding company that owns GeelyÂ’s stock guided that itÂ’s selling for SEK285.9 a share, a more than 2% discount from its closing price. Volvo reported first-quarter operating profit that beat analystsÂ’ expectations on Wednesday, as the truckmaker offset waning orders by charging higher prices. The company has been reducing production as demand returns to more typical levels following a post-pandemic recovery period. Its shares have advanced 12% this year. Geely pared its stake in Volvo in January and also sold some of its holding in Volvo Car AB in November. The holding company behind one of ChinaÂ’s most prominent carmakers early this year had to bail out Polestar, the struggling electric-vehicle manufacturer it started along with Volvo Car.  Earnings/Financials Volvo Truck Commercial Vehicles volvo trucks
Greetings from Trollhattan. I'm Emily, but I'm not a Saab.
Sat, Apr 29 2023What’s Swedish for “never give up”? Saab, apparently. The fondly-remembered car company formerly called just that — and now named NEVS — is only a shell, employing just a limited crew in the land of trolls. But itÂ’s got something to sell, and that something seems like it's really something. ItÂ’s called Emily. The Emily GT exists as six prototype electric cars, according to NEVS, with a combined horsepower rating (per car) of 484 powered by an enormous 175-kilowatt lithium-ion battery thatÂ’s good for 600 miles of range. In development almost since Saab's demise — the company, once owned by General Motors, was closed down in 2010 — the Emily is a very real product and needs a real sponsor, according to NEVS CEO Nina Selander, speaking to Carup. “It is for sale, it is also a joy to be able to show it. It should be allowed to live on, itÂ’s too nice, too good and too modern a car for nothing to come of it. Interested parties are welcome,” she said. Photos of the car show a modern, forward-thrust profile with handsome lines, a look similar to the last Saab 9-5 and VolvoÂ’s S60 (must be a Swedish thing) and a fashionable, sci-fi-ish interior. A hopeful engineer on the project estimates that the car is less than two years away from some kind of series production, but according to the modest NEVS website, the company is currently in “hibernation” even as it continues to solicit buyers for the Emilys. Said Peter Dahl, the Emily project manager, “Many have asked us what we have been doing for 10 years. We have developed 13 different car projects, this is one of them.” Related video: Volvo Saab Automotive History Electric Future Vehicles Classics
Polestar says goodbye to Volvo C30 in video tribute
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The Volvo C30 was put to its eternal bed a few months ago, but the tuners at Polestar have a little more eulogizing to do. The Swedish house of speed that has raced and reworked the little hatch since its introduction in 2006 wants the world to know what they've been through together, so it has encapsulated seven years of around-the-world action into three minutes and 28 seconds of track footage and champagne.
We're still waiting on word of a replacement for the funny little hatch, and while we lament what could have been, the video below proves that the C30 provided plenty of thrills for those outside of the US. And as you can read in our recent review of the Polestar-enhanced road-going C30, it provided a decent amount of fun for those of us in the States, as well.
