This excellent car was brought here to Maine from Arizona 5 years ago and has only been driven seasonally after renovation. There is absolutely no rust apparent on the body, underneath, in the wheel wells - anywhere. I have individual pictures of all the most rust prone areas on the 240 chassis. The exterior was repainted years ago because of sun damage in Arizona. Likewise, the interior was reupholstered tastefully in cloth. It still look great! Recent mechanical work (with Volvo original parts) include: both ball joints and tie rod ends, one steering rod and front end alignment, repack front wheel bearings, bent wheels replaced with good used, exhaust kit (from cat back), fuse box service, replace headlight relay, pcv service and parts replaced as needed, new timing belt and front engine seals (the correct way to do this job), new fuel distributor!! ($431.34). All fuel injectors and seals, new ignition coil, new air box, wiper blades, tires, steering boot, replaced side molding clips, ignition parts - spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, taillight assembly, all brake flex lines, bleed brakes, rebuild front brake calipers, replace od relay, water pump, thermostat, brake servo (used), front struts, oil change, alternator bushings. Since this car has been East, over $8,500 has been spent on mechanical repairs. It is a great daily driver. A current checkup (Vehicle Maintenance Analysis) is provided. Good luck bidding!

Volvo confirms V60 Sportswagon engine lineup for US
Fri, 13 Sep 2013
In addition to revamping its entire 2014 lineup, Volvo has already promised us that we'll be getting the V60 wagon early next year, but now the Swedish automaker has confirmed that sexy wagon will go on sale in January. If that's not good enough for you diehard station wagon models, there's even better news: An available R-Design model will be the "fastest and most powerful wagon in Volvo history."
The V60 R-Design will have a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine under the hood producing 325 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Other engines available in the wagon will include the company's well-regarded turbo inline-five along with a new turbo inline-four wearing the Drive-E name. Volvo says Drive-E can "offer the opportunity" to add electrification, but there's no word as to whether or not the US will receive a V60 plug-in model. Also not yet released are fuel economy, vehicle specs and pricing. More information about the V60 and its powertrains are available in the official press release posted below.
Volvo PV444 turns 70
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Volvo has made all manner of vehicles over the course of its long history, including coupes, convertibles, hatchbacks, sedans, wagons and SUVs. But the vehicle that started it all was the PV444.
Or rather, we should say, the PV444 is what re-started it all. Because while it wasn't Volvo's first model, it was the first one it produced after the war. Monday, September 1, will mark 70 years since the PV444 first debuted at the Royal Tennis Hall in Stockholm pictured above, where the company received 148,437 visitors.
That presentation there took place shortly before the end of World War II when the vehicle wasn't even finished yet. A team of 40 engineers and designers were still fine-tuning the final version, but were eager to show the public what it would start building after the last bullet was fired and peace would return to Europe.
2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E
Wed, 23 Apr 2014For those not paying attention, Volvo has updated its S60 sedan range for 2015 with a new range of engines under the Drive-E label. Wearing the same T5 and T6 badges to note the relative levels of power under the hood, both engines are 2.0-liter four-cylinders, with the lesser being turbocharged and the greater being both supercharged and turbocharged.
Both Drive-E variants are currently only available in front-wheel-drive flavor, though Volvo will still happily sell you an S60 T5 AWD with the older 2.5-liter turbo five-cylinder, or a top-of-the-line S60 T6 with a turbo'd 3.0-liter six-cylinder and all the wheels turning.
The car I drove for a week is perhaps the most balanced version of the S60 range, with that exotic sounding twin-charged 2.0-liter mill planted happily in the attractively sloping nose. Provided you're not hung up on front-drive dynamics, the T6 Drive-E might be a solid candidate for your next premium small sedan shopping list, as well.
