Please read entire description before bidding.  Contact me first if you have zero or negative feedback please.

I recently bought this car with the plans to freshen it up but also came across another project that now is taking up my garage space.  I'd rather not store the 240 this winter. 

It has lots of positives;

- It's the manual 5 speed (which is very rare in a late model 240 wagon)
- Low miles 123K
- Service book stamped by dealer through 80K miles
- Literally every receipt since new (has to be an inch stack of receipts)
- Clutch done at 80K
- Clean Carfax - no accidents
- No CEL or other lights lit
- Map pockets intact.
- Recent steering rack replacement
- Recent timing belt and water pump
- Very minimal rust

Fairly well optioned - heated seats, power mirrors, power windows - AC that works.

It's not without it's flaws tho;

- Paintwork below the belt line on passenger side and tailgate - likely due to a scratch down that side of the car.
- Needs front tires
- Rear brakes squeak/rumble a little 
- Numerous dings and scratches
- AC sweats when running (small water puddle on drivers floor)
- Runs fantastic but at idle it has a little sputter (likely just a tune up)
- Interior could use a good cleaning
- Clock and central locking fuse is out b/c it drains the battery (looks like there is a wire in the hatch hinge that broke - I suspect that it has something to do with that)

It was just inspected in MA So it's good for another year (good until the end of August 2015). The garage that inspected it mentioned that a good percentage of these cars fail because of the rust/rot on the rear suspension - he said this car was in excellent shape in that regard. Passed the inspection just fine.

Anyway, it's either sell it or store it. 

I don't want to waste anyone's time - if you are looking for a perfect one - this is not it. If you are looking for one that has low miles and a 5-speed and will probably run another 200K that needs some work while you drive it - this may be it.  Sold as-is where-is.  Thanks!

Watch this Volvo truck drive up a quarry road using hamster-powered steering

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

Volvo Trucks has been producing some of the most interesting and thrilling commercials around as of late, and this new one involves a live hamster. While you may wonder how could a hamster and a dump truck could be exciting, just know this ain't a Kia Soul commercial: the Swedish truck company enlists the help of a hamster named Charlie to steer an FMX construction truck up a winding road in Ourence, Spain. From the bottom of a quarry. We are not kidding you.
All we ask is that you watch the commercial below to see how it all goes down. If you like what you see, you can then check out a bonus 'behind the scenes' video and press release for details about how Volvo Trucks prepared for the stunt.

2015 Volvo XC90 proves Sweden's auto industry is alive and well [w/video]

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

The most important new Volvo in quite some time has made its first auto show appearance, with the second-generation XC90 debuting at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
As we discussed in both our original post and Deep Dive feature, the new XC90 remains a three-row crossover for 2015, although it ditches the first-gen model's top-end, turbocharged six-cylinder in favor of a single twin-charged, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. By pairing that with a plug-in-electric powertrain, the king of the XC90 range, the T8 TwinEngine, will offer up 400 horsepower. So yeah, performance should be brisk.
Also appearing on 2015 XC90 will be an entirely new, Apple CarPlay-compatible infotainment system with a big, vertical touchscreen display at its heart. Based on the videos we've seen, the new system looks responsive, feature-laden and quite attractive.

Volvo agrees to transfer tech to new parent Geely

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

Following the acquisition of Volvo by China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group in 2010, we definitely saw this news coming. The two companies have signed an agreement that will give Chinese automaker Geely access to key technologies developed by Volvo, and in turn, the deal could help the Swedish automaker lower its production costs.
As a part of the "technological cooperation agreements" signed by both companies, Automotive News China reports that Geely will be able to tap Volvo for three much-needed technologies, including the use of a midsize platform, Volvo's proven safety innovations and interior air quality systems. The latter two technologies are important to improve the crashworthiness of Geely's cars, along with helping isolate vehicle occupants from China's often severe air pollution. The report says that Volvo tech will likely be used on a premium car brand that Geely is expected to create.
Volvo, on the other hand, is to benefit from the "local market exploration experience and cost control experience" of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, which is technical way of saying that Volvo will be able reduce its costs by tapping into Geely's established supply chain.
