This is one of the last 1600 Volvo 240's ever made - special edition, and I am the original owner. Title free and clear. No reserve!

AS IS! Well, it WAS running when I parked it in our driveway two or so years ago, but it no longer runs (no big surprise), and the tires are flat. I stopped driving it because I just couldn't afford to bring her up to snuff for inspection. I'm hoping that there is a Volvo enthusiast out there who would be willing to give her some TLC, and bring this very special last of 1600 classic back to her former glory.

I know nothing about cars, but will run through what I do know about this one:

- the odometer stopped working 149K

- there is a small dent right above the right front passenger light (as you can see in the photos)

- carfax erroneously has a report of an accident in 2006 claiming damage to the right side involving a guardrail and another car - NEVER HAPPENED! Absolutely no damage to the right side at all. Here is what did happen (which carfax doesn't show!): in December of 1997, my husband hit another car at a right turn on red stop light wherein he thought the car in front of him had started to turn, but it hadn't, so he hit the rear of the car at low speed. It caused cosmetic damage to the hood, grill and bumper all of which was repaired for $725 (I have the original estimate). You can actually see where the repair took place because the older paint has faded, but the repair paint has not. Absolutely no structural damage.

- the right rear passenger side light needs to be replaced

- the right rear driver side light has a small crack

- the front lights are really cloudy ( don't know if that was always like that - just an observation)

- the stripping on one window in coming loose

- the glove box lock is broken, and we used duck tape to hold it in place

- some of the stripping along the exterior sides has come off, but the pieces are in the car

- there is a plastic piece in the boot, but I don't know what it's from - some where under the car

- normal wear of interior and exterior associated with a 21 year old car

- in 1998 we moved to a county that does not require emissions inspection, so I don't know about that, but since it's a classic (I terms of age not last year made), that may not matter

Oh, and the cassette player doesn't work (for those of you that have that ginormous cassette collection). My daughter, now a senior at VT, put pennies or bologna in it - I can't remember which honestly (it was one of the two), but it hasn't worked in years - so how did she manage to get into VT? Just saying.

That is everything that I could see upon a visual inspection.

I do have all the original books, etc., but the owners manual got wet. I also have a lot of the original repair/work receipts - not all I'm sure, but a lot of them. It seems to me I replaced a heck of a lot of tires!

I will try to answer any questions, but like I said, I can only answer to my seriously limited knowledge of cars.

Look within a few hours, I have many watchers, AND QUESTIONS. You could cannibalize this car for over a thousand AT LEAST. As a limited edition, it has the original wood trim on the interior and super whatever hubcaps. Just updating.

Volvo Concept Estate gets official [w/video]

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

The final chapter of Volvo's concept car trilogy has arrived after a few teasers earlier this week, as well as some recently leaked images, and as we so astutely summarized previously, it's a brown shooting brake. Really, we couldn't think of a better type of vehicle to follow up the Concept Coupe from the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Concept XC Coupe from the Detroit Auto Show and complete the Swedish trinity of concepts.
It's best to think of the Concept Estate as the hipper, classier cousin to the Concept Coupe. The two are virtually identical below the beltline, featuring front fascias that are indistinguishable from each other (except one is, you know, brown). Both cars wear wide, rectangular grilles inspired by classic Volvo models and T-shaped headlights Where the Concept Estate differs, obviously, is with its more functional rear end and longer roof.
That rear is accented by the Estate's wide haunches and slim, angular taillights, which borrow heavily from the units shown on the Concept XC Coupe. These two features work in tandem to present a wide, squat appearance from the rear. The profile, meanwhile, shows off that spacious greenhouse, which is made even airier by a glass roof.

Volvo considering offering V60 wagon in the US

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

For the 2014 model year, the Volvo product line is shrinking to just five models in the United States: the S60, S80, XC60, XC70 and XC90. This comes following the death of the C30 hatchback and C70 convertible, which are being discontinued after the 2013 model year. The S40 sedan and V50 wagon were axed two years ago, as was the larger V70.
That may not be the case, however. According to Automotive News, Volvo is rethinking its decision to not sell the V60 wagon, pictured, in the United States. The automaker had originally decided to not offer the V60 in our market due to declining American wagon sales. A decision is expected to be made sometime in the next quarter, and if approved, sales of the V60 could begin in the US within the next year.
At the Geneva Motor Show last week, Volvo showed off refreshed versions of nearly every vehicle in its lineup. In the US, these will be the only changes coming to the Volvo brand over the next two years. The next big product launch in the States will be the all-new XC90 crossover, developed under new parent company Geely. The range-topping SUV will ride on the company's new flexible SPA platform, which will also underpin the next-generation versions of the S60, S80 and XC60.

European new car sales drop nearly 8% in first half of 2019

Thu, Jul 18 2019

PARIS — European car sales dropped 7.9% in June, led by bigger declines for Nissan, Volvo and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), according to industry data published on Wednesday. Registrations fell to 1.49 million cars last month from 1.62 million a year earlier across the European Union and EFTA countries, the Brussels-based Association of European Carmakers said in a statement. Calendar effects resulted in two fewer sales days in most markets, accentuating the decline. Registrations for the first half closed 3.1% lower, ACEA said. For European carmakers, weakening demand at home compounds the pressure from a sharper contraction in China and emerging markets that may yet bring more profit warnings. NissanÂ’s aging model lineup contributed to a 26.6% June sales slump while Volvo Cars, owned by ChinaÂ’s Geely, saw deliveries tumble 21.7%. Registrations also fell 13.5% last month at FCA, 10.1% at BMW, 9.6% at Volkswagen Group and 8.2% for both Mercedes parent Daimler and FranceÂ’s PSA Group. The Peugeot makerÂ’s domestic rival Renault suffered less, posting a 3.9% decline. By the Numbers BMW Chrysler Fiat Nissan Volkswagen Volvo Peugeot Renault
