Location:

Houston, Texas, United States

This is the 240 wagon you have been waiting to buy...this is probably one of the best looked after and cared for available today.
Up for auction is our beloved and extremely well-sorted 1989 Volvo 240 wagon (a.k.a The Brick).  We have owned this fantastic car for the past 17 years, and are only the second owners.  The car is even better in person than the pictures.  We have all service receipts and documentation that you would expect for a car of this quality.  

We have documented receipts of over $1300 in the past year with the following parts replaced:

  • New radiator
  • New belts and hoses (spare set of belts included)
  • Re-manufactured alternator
  • Harmonic balancer
  • New plugs, rotor and cap
  • New window interior and exterior weatherstripping for all 4 window channels
  • AC just recharged, ready for summer and blows cold!
  • New battery
  • Oil and filter change in last 350 miles

Many upgrades are also included: 
  • IPD 25 mm front/rear sway bars
  • PIAA EXTREME WHITE bulbs
  • IPD turbo exhaust
  • Sony am/fm/CD player with Pioneer rear 6x9 and Infinity front door speakers + tweeters with crossover
  • ADS Power Plate amplifier 25 watt
  • Custom black sheepskins for front seats
  • Tinted windows to legal spec for all windows
  • Wheelskins leather steering wheel cover
  • Color coded floor mats front and rear
  • All turn signal lenses front and rear are new in last two years 
Outside of the typical driver seat stitching that separated at the seams, the interior is nearly perfect given the car is 25 years old.  The carpets are not faded and in excellent condition.  The headliner is intact and unblemished.  Small details like visor clips and glove box door all operate as new.

In short, if you are looking for the best example with the history and documentation, then bid on it knowing the owners have a 100% rating on eBay.  The car has virtually no rust, only two very small spots that are barely visible at the rear wiper and the luggage rack. Both areas are documented in pictures and smaller than a house key in width. The car has never been wrecked, there is no bondo or filler anywhere.  Purchased in Kansas and a Texas car the past 17 years, it has many years of life ahead for the new owner.

Please feel free to inspect the car in person or arrange for a pre-purchase inspection at your expense.  The car is being sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied.  Thank you for looking and hope the winning bid goes to a home that will take the same great care that we have!  Good luck...

Volvo celebrates 20 years of sleeper wagons with 850 T-5R and V60 Polestar

Mon, 10 Nov 2014

I must have been around Bar Mitzvah age when I was in the back of my parents' car on the highway as we passed a truck full of Volvo 850 T-5R wagons - half of them in black, half in banana yellow. It was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen: a whole gaggle of sleeper power wagons that were infinitely cooler than whatever minivan we were riding in. Hard to believe that was 20 years ago, but it was. And Polestar is understandably keen to mark the anniversary of the first overt Volvo performance wagon.
While Volvo's racing partner hasn't released some commemorative edition to celebrate that prototypical sleeper, it has shot a special batch of photos of the T-5R (based on the 850 wagon internally known as the 855 for its five doors) alongside its modern successor, the V60 Polestar. The images shot in Huntington Beach, CA, only go to show how much has changed in the two decades that separate them.
Whereas this front-drive T-5R packed a turbocharged inline-five driving 240 horsepower through a four-speed automatic propel the yellow box to 62 in 7.0 seconds, the turbo six in the svelter, Rebel Blue-clad 2015 V60 Polestar churns out 350 hp to all four wheels through a six-speed auto for a 4.9-second sprint. That's the kind of progress we can get behind. In fact, it's the sort of progress that everyone can get behind, really, because chances are whatever you're driving will probably have a hard time keeping up.

Volvo working on ultra-lux four-seat XC90 for China?

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

In China, it's all about being driven. That's why we've seen so many automakers stretch their most popular models to appeal to buyers in the Chinese market. Volvo is certainly no stranger to this, and according to Autocar, the company is already working on a super-lux, four-seat version of its recently launched XC90 crossover.
Volvo won't stretch the XC90 and just increase second-row legroom, however. Instead, the company will reportedly remove both the standard XC90's second and third row benches, and install a duplicate set of front seats in the rear compartment, featuring the same electric adjustment features, including massage. These more luxurious thrones will be placed further back in the vehicle, allowing for "exceptional" legroom, Autocar reports, without needing to stretch the wheelbase.
Mum's the word on when we can expect to see the high-zoot Volvo arrive, though the magazine estimates that it surface later this year.
