1989 - One Owner, 160,0000 Miles, Always Garaged And Maintained By Volvo Dealer on 2040-cars
Powell, Ohio, United States
|
1989 Volvo – 160,000 actual miles! One Owner! Non Smoker. Rust free. Near mint condition and to the best of my knowledge, mechanically sound - inside and out.* It just breaks my heart to put it on the market. The miles are documented, the radio, cassette player and speakers work great. The Michelin rubber on all four wheels is in great shape. There is a small pin prick in the glass and a couple of very small interior surface cracks – which are barely noticeable. The heat blows hot and the AC works – but could use a charge. The seats and carpet look new – but are original. The engine compartment looks like its been detailed – but it hasnt – just immaculate and without any known leaks. The car runs smooth at 80mph without breaking a sweat and is a fantastic example of Volvo engineering! As you can see from the pictures, I have a treasure trove of Volvo memorabilia, literature and even have the original bill of sale and the original window sticker. To many new/replacement items to mention but has new belts, (including Timing), Tires, Radiator, Exhaust to name a few. Car is leak free. The detailed documentation – shows that the oil was changed every 5,000 miles and that all of the manufacturers’ recommended maintenance work was performed on schedule by the local Volvo dealer. The vehicle has always been garaged and literally driven about 4,000 miles a year. Records show that the dealer regularly washed and waxed the car– so the paint looks brand new! *Unfortunately, the car was recently side-swiped on the interstate. The title is clear (not salvage) but sadly, the left quarter panel was damaged and the bumper torn (and ultimately removed). Since the impact wasnt direct, the frame appears to be solid and true (see the attached pictures) and the car drives without any pull or sway – the same way it has for the last 25 years! Our pearl white 240 is being sold as is – but you are welcome to inspect it in advance of placing your bid – but if not, you will need to pay close attention to the photos. If you are the winning bidder - payment is due within 24 hours. Vehicle needs to be picked up within 7 days. Storage for up to 30 days is available at $15.00 per day – but arrangements will need to be made in advance. With such a low reserve, this is clearly one of the best dollar for dollar 240 values on Ebay. We live in Dublin, which is a suburb outside of Columbus, Ohio. After making a few calls, I can confirm that bumpers are available in the Midwest for between $100 and $150 with quarter panels also readily available. After this baby is put back together – it will once again be a spectacular show car and will hopefully provide its new owner with many happy miles of driving. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions and happy bidding! |

Volvo considering offering V60 wagon in the US
Tue, 12 Mar 2013For the 2014 model year, the Volvo product line is shrinking to just five models in the United States: the S60, S80, XC60, XC70 and XC90. This comes following the death of the C30 hatchback and C70 convertible, which are being discontinued after the 2013 model year. The S40 sedan and V50 wagon were axed two years ago, as was the larger V70.
That may not be the case, however. According to Automotive News, Volvo is rethinking its decision to not sell the V60 wagon, pictured, in the United States. The automaker had originally decided to not offer the V60 in our market due to declining American wagon sales. A decision is expected to be made sometime in the next quarter, and if approved, sales of the V60 could begin in the US within the next year.
At the Geneva Motor Show last week, Volvo showed off refreshed versions of nearly every vehicle in its lineup. In the US, these will be the only changes coming to the Volvo brand over the next two years. The next big product launch in the States will be the all-new XC90 crossover, developed under new parent company Geely. The range-topping SUV will ride on the company's new flexible SPA platform, which will also underpin the next-generation versions of the S60, S80 and XC60.
Volvo V60 Polestar speeds into view
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Send us photos of a new wagon out testing, and you've got our attention. Send us photos of a fast wagon lapping the Nürburgring and, well, we're just as giddy as can be. Our spy shooters just blessed our inbox with some fresh shots of Volvo's new V60 wagon out testing in Polestar guise, sporting the same Rebel Blue paint job as the thunder-from-Down-Under limited-edition S60 Polestar, as well as an aggressive front fascia, huge wheels, Brembo brakes, a rear diffuser panel and a roof spoiler. Hello there, hot stuff.
Like its sedan counterpart, the V60 Polestar is expected to use a boosted version of Volvo's 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, pumping out something like 350 horsepower. To keep everything in check, that force will almost certainly be sent to the ground via all-wheel drive.
It's unclear if Volvo will sell the V60 Polestar as a limited-edition affair for our friends in Australia, or if this longroof hot-hauler will be offered in other markets this time. After all, Volvo is bringing the V60 over to American soil early next year, so consider our fingers - and toes - crossed.
Man convicted of spying on truck maker Scania for the Russians
Wed, Sep 15 2021STOCKHOLM — A Swedish court on Wednesday sentenced a 47-year-old man to three years in prison for spying for Russia, which involved selling secret information from truck maker Scania. The court said it had found the man guilty of acquiring and selling the secret information from the truck maker to a Russian embassy official. The court acquitted the man of similar espionage charges at Geely-owned carmaker Volvo Cars. "To be convicted of espionage, it is required that Sweden's security can be damaged if the information benefits foreign powers," the court said in a statement. "The district court has ruled that this is the case with regard to the information that the man obtained from Scania, while it has not been proven that this is the case with regard to the information from Volvo." The court statement said the man regularly received cash at his meetings with the Russian embassy official, which it considered was compensation for the information provided. The man, who has denied wrongdoing, was apprehended whilst meeting the diplomat in a restaurant, having just received 27,800 Swedish krona ($3,242). He worked as a consultant for Volvo Cars in 2016 and 2017 and for Scania in 2018 and 2019, until he was arrested. The man's lawyer said he would appeal. Scania is owned by truck maker Traton.
