The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...
The vehicle has about 390k on it but it has been very well maintained. A mechanical restoration was done about 5 years ago at about 340K miles. The engine was replaced with one from a 93 240 and now has about 175K on it and runs great. The gearbox was completely rebuilt about two years ago (30K ago). At that time the clutch, throw out bearing and pilot bearing were replaced. In addition, a new timing belt and water pump were installed.
The car has many upgrades including:
IPD sway bars front and rear,
Glass Euro head lights,
Custom turbo grille and fog lights,
93 dashboard,
Leather shift cover, sport steering wheel,
Heated seats, heated remote mirrors (not currently working)
Working A/C, which was converted to R134 and includes a new condenser, the larger 93 evaporator, electronics, switching and condenser fan. It blows cold.
Large tach, oil pressure and volt gauges,
Sony stereo with USB port for Ipod, 6x9 coaxial rear speakers, with Pioneer coax front speakers,
Original plastic floor trays and head-rest covers that match the seats.
Black '93 trim around the windows, side running lights and newer tail lights.
All of the plastic trim was removed for a cleaner look.
Professionally restored Virgo wheels with newer Bridgestone tires.
At about 340K the following was done:
New suspension bushings all around, new gas struts front and rear, new strut bearings, new wiring harness, new blower motor, heater core and heater valve, newer style power steering pump with integral reservoir. New rear axle bearings, new u-joints. New poly accessory bushings.
Last year:
New turbo type exhaust system, new voltage regulator, tune up with IPD ignition wires, coolant change and flush. New front calipers and brakes. Car has ceramic brakes in the rear and drilled rotors all around. New fuel filter and fuel line. New fan clutch
Defects:
No rust except two smaller bubbles at the top and bottom of windshield on passenger side as shown in the pictures. The windshield is cracked, but will be replaced before buyer pics up the car.
Small dent in driver's side fender near the front; noticeable, but not terribly unsightly. Small ripple in top surface of driver's door. The paint is original except for the trunk lid, which was repainted.
Small oil leak from rear main seal,
Front seals are ready to be replaced; seals drive belts and timing belt will go with the car.
Summary:
A great looking, good running, very well maintained car. Engine runs great, transmission shifts smoothly with no unusual noises or vibrations. Car handles extremely well with the lighter wheels, performance tires and IPD suspension hardware.

Volvo details new drive assist features for next XC90 and future models [w/video]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Volvo wants us to know what kinds of new technology will be under the sheetmetal of the offerings that will sit on its Scalable Platform Architecture, the first of which will be included on the 2015 Volvo XC90 arriving at the end of next year. The silicon-chip onslaught starts with detection and auto braking for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and large animals. The company's animal detection tech now works at night thanks to better cameras and exposure controls.
Also due for the high-riding wagon are road edge and barrier detection with steer assist, a setup that identifies the edge of the road - even ones without markings. The system can steer the car back into its lane if it detects the driver is about to leave the road or collide with a barrier. Adaptive cruise control with steer assist allows the car to not only follow the flow of traffic on a straight road, but steer itself automatically.
Beyond that, the company is planning on other safety advances, but these will rely on automaker cooperation and infrastructure upgrades. Volvo has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Car 2 Car Communication Consortium on the subject of standards for communication between cars and wants to have it implemented by 2016. Sensors in traffic lights will enable Green Light Optimum Speed Advisory, which tells a driver how fast to go on a give stretch of road so as not to hit a red light. Weather, road condition, road works and emergency vehicle warnings will also inform drivers of new developments on the road. And autonomous parking, which Volvo has already demonstrated, stands to put a lot of valets out of work since it allows the car to find its own parking space without a driver inside.
Volvo planning Golf rival, 'breathtaking' C60 coupe
Wed, 01 May 2013Despite just having refreshed nearly its entire portfolio, Volvo is still in the middle of a big product offensive. Vehicles like the C30 hatchback and C70 convertible have been given the axe, but a brand-new platform is being developed in addition to the Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA) that will underpin larger vehicles. According to Automobile, this means some very interesting newcomers may be on tap for the brand.
Volvo, in collaboration with Geely, is said to be working on a new platform about the size of a Volkswagen Golf that will likely spawn both a sedan and hatchback. Automobile reports that while the automaker's new scalable architecture is quite flexible, it cannot be stretched (or rather, shrunk) to accommodate a smaller vehicle.
Instead, SPA will be used for the company's larger offerings, starting with the V40 on the small end. (Though to our eyes, the current V40 looks plenty Golf-sized to us.) A new XC40 is apparently in the works, as is an S90 flagship, and new versions of the XC60, XC90 and S60 will all be coming based on this new flexible architecture.
