If you're looking for an exceptionally clean, comfortable and well-maintained one-owner, late-model family sedan loaded with safety features, take a look at this beautiful blue 2009 Volvo S240.

We bought the car new in Windsor, Canada and pretty much loaded it up -- heated seats, Bluetooth, power everything. The car sold for over $35,000 new. It has NEVER been smoked in. The interior is in excellent overall condition with just normal wear.

We've driven it 54,000 kilometers (33,500 miles) mostly locally in the spring, summer and fall in the Windsor and Detroit areas. The miles are low because we have stored the car during the harsh winter months, so it has not been subjected to snow, ice, salt, etc. Just one minor bump that was professionally repaired. So, she's good to go.

The technical details: Economical and peppy 2.4-liter five-cylinder engine, five-speed automatic transmission, disc brakes on all four corners, traction control, anti-lock brakes, etc. Fuel economy around town averages about 25 mpg. Our car always been dealer-maintained and is in excellent mechanical condition.

Recent dealer-performed maintenance includes rear brakes, oil change, etc. The tires are in great shape. There have never been any mechanical issues and the car has always been totally reliable.

This is a Canadian-spec car, but it can be legally imported to the U.S. because it meets U.S. federal emission and safety standards. Documentation will be provided.

With continued good maintenance, the S40 will easily go 150,000+ miles. Clear title. $1,000 Pay Pal deposit required after auction. I can help with shipping. The car is available for inspections. If fly in to Detroit and drive home, full tank of gas included.

If you have any questions, please fire away. Thanks for looking.

Volvo studying test of electric roads in Sweden

Tue, 27 May 2014

Volvo already announced the results of a study of wireless charging using a stationary C30, and now it's embarking on a more ambitious study of wireless charging involving moving city buses. Next year, in conjunction with the Swedish Transport Association, Volvo will build a section of electric road up to 500 meters long that would use inductive charging to refill the batteries while the bus drives over it.
Right now, the company's Hyper Bus diesel hybrid has to stop to plug in and charge at the end of its route. The company is looking for a way to keep buses in service while being able to run on electric power for greater lengths of time. The new line used for the study will be called ElectriCity, and will come online in central Gothenburg sometime in 2015. There's a press release below with more information.

Volvo bringing Chinese-built cars to America beginning next year

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Just because the penetration of the American automotive market by Chinese brands hasn't quite happened yet doesn't mean that Chinese-built cars are far off. According to a new report, we could very soon see long-wheelbase Volvo S60s that were assembled in the People's Republic arriving on US shores.
The report comes from Automotive News China, which cites an anonymous Volvo exec. An official Volvo spokesperson later corroborated ANC's report, although where the original source claimed that we could see the Chinese-built S60L in US dealers at some point in 2015, the company line was that a timeline hadn't been established to begin exports from the world's most populous nation.
According to Volvo, the benefit to exporting from China to the United States rather than from Sweden is the relationship between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan. Overall, it's a less tumultuous issue than the dollar-to-euro situation. By moving vehicles from China to the US, the Chinese-owned company is limiting the degree of risk it's taking with sudden currency swings.

Volvo Cars' May sales rise 13%, boosted by electric vehicles

Wed, Jun 5 2024

STOCKHOLM — Volvo Cars' sales rose to 68,034 cars in May, up 13% from a year earlier, buoyed by a 27% jump in Europe and a strong performance by its fully electric EX30, the group said on Wednesday. Sales of fully electric and plug-in hybrid models rose 37% to account for 48% of group sales globally, Sweden-based Volvo Cars, which is majority-owned by China's Geely Holding, said in a statement. "This month's sales figures are another measure of our progress towards our sales target of at least 15% growth for 2024," it said. However, sales in the United States and China fell by 5% and 1%, respectively. Shares in the company were up 1.9% by 0755 GMT. Volvo Cars aims to have electric vehicles account for half of its sales by volume by mid-decade and hopes to sell only EVs by 2030.
