NO RESERVE

Selling a 1-owner IMMACULATE, low mileage Volvo 240 4 door. I have owned 10 Volvo 240s of all years, and this one is the cleanest and best condition I've come across. This car is a gem, and comes loaded with many dealer features. Here are the features and details of this safe brick of a car:

Garage kept, see pictures to notice the cleanliness of the interior, dashboard and carpets. Owned and loved by a responsible adult Volvo enthusiast, purchased and driven in New Mexico its whole life. Time to sell and drive the S80 instead ;-) Serviced at IVS (formerly Independent Volvo). Could try to get records of work done there over the years on request.

102,026 miles, manual transmission, 4 cylinder, religiously maintained, loaded, strong engine (if you don't know the history and reliability of the Redblock engine, they easily go for several hundreds of thousands of miles. Look it up). I have a copy of the original title from 1984.

Power locks, all light bulbs work, radio (comes with a spare in the trunk), awesome heater, defroster, wipers, oil pressure gauge, oil temperature gauge, ambient air temperature gauge, clock, voltage gauge. Clutch is great, tires are Michelin and great, but show some aging, shocks are great, brakes are amazing (Go Volvo!) comes with spare full size tire and tool kit and jack, NO RUST, no body damage, new wiring harness (old harnesses (pre 1988) were made with biodegradable insulation which withered within 2 decades, see pictures) runs great! Seats are in great shape, a little faded but no rips or tears in stitching, all of the rubber on the car is pliable and not sun-dried, which is also amazing. The doors open and close like a brand new car (again, I have owned many 240s and can compare), battery is good and recently changed.

The bad:
Air conditioning could use a charge, the good news is that it has a special UV dye installed in the system to detect leaks
Overdrive button not working (common and easy fix. Look it up)

Must see to appreciate. Very great, smooth, reliable and SAFE car.

Clean title.

Call or text David at 505-417-0588 for questions and, if you're in Albuquerque, see and test drive.

Volvo Concept Estate to spawn V90 luxury wagon, joining CUV and coupe

Wed, 26 Mar 2014

The Volvo Concept Estate garnered Autoblog's Editors' Choice award as our team's favorite reveal at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show earlier this month for its sleek take on Scandinavian design, and now it looks like we might actually see the sleek wagon in production. Volvo is reportedly considering using the concept as the basis for a replacement for the V70 wagon, dubbing the new model V90.
It's rumored to be part of the Swedish brand's plan to launch a new range of 90-series vehicles. In addition to the more luxury-oriented wagon, the family of models includes the XC90 that is expected to debut later this year. According to MotorAuthority, Volvo is also considering using the same version of its Scalable Product Architecture that underpins the crossover to create a range-topping S90 sedan to replace the S80. Assuming it's a success, a C90 coupe is even a possibility. All of these models would be outfitted with the company's Drive-E four-cylinder engine family, which includes hybrids and plug-in hybrids.
The Swedish automaker is also looking downmarket with help from owner Geely in China with replacement 40-series models. According to MotorAuthority, the duo's rumored small car platform will be used to create an updated V40 wagon, C40 hatchback (a C30 successor), as well as an XC40 compact crossover.

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.

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
