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.

The disclaimer stuff: Buyer is responsible for pick up or arranging shipping from my residence in Sacramento, CA. Non-refundable deposit of $500 due within 24 hours of purchase; remainder due within five days of purchase AND before taking possession of vehicle. Vehicle is sold as is without warranty for mechanical condition or safety. Buyer is fully responsible for vehicle safety upon taking possession of vehicle. It is highly recommended the buyer have the car reviewed by a certified Volvo mechanic before driving it.

Volvo S60, XC60 caught testing with freshened faces

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Neither the Volvo S60 nor the Volvo XC60 are that old, but the Swedish automaker is wasting no time ensuring that two of its most popular products don't get stagnant on the market, a fate that has befallen some of the other products it offers.
Even though these two models helped usher in a new styling direction for Volvo not too long ago, the modest facelifts on tap for both looks like they will bring both products closer to the styling of the handsome overseas V40 hatchback.
Aside from the pointier front end, the XC60 crossover is also getting a revised rear fascia that now includes integrated dual exhaust outlets. The shots of the S60 show us that the sedan's interior will be getting minor tweaks as well, including reshaped front seats and a new shift lever.

Volvo V70 and XC70 and Ocean Race special editions wash ashore ahead of Geneva

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

Volvo will unveil the third in its series of new concepts to the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it will also bring a flotilla of special editions to the Swiss show. The V70 and XC70 are getting limited-edition models called simply Edition, and the V40, V40 Cross Country, V60 and XC60 will have Volvo Ocean Race Editions.
The Edition models outfit the cars with an extra sprinkling of style. The V70 Edition gets high-gloss black trim on the grille, mirror caps, side window frames and tailgate and rides on silver, 17-inch wheels with high-gloss black 17-inch and 18-inch wheels as options. The XC70 Edition adds some gloss black exterior upgrades too, plus high-gloss black, 18-inch diamond-cut wheels. Both models are swathed in black leather upholstery with cream stitching.
The Volvo Ocean Race Editions celebrate the brand's sponsorship of a 38,739-nautical-mile yacht race that will circumnavigate the world from 2014 to 2015. All of them sport the race logo on the tread plates, front fenders, infotainment display on start-up and special seven-spoke wheels. Inside, there is the choice of black or blonde leather seats with orange stitching. The 60-series cars also sport a map of the race route on the rear load cover.
