1990 Texas Volvo 240 Dl Wagon 4-door 2.3l Manual Transmission on 2040-cars
Carrollton, Texas, United States
|
This wagon is a rare find. Originally purchased in California, and driven to Austin, TX to spend the majority of it's life with one owner. It appears to have original paint. The Texas sun doesn't allow for that unless it was always stored in a garage.
The exterior has plenty of shine left. Of course, it is Texas rust free! The interior is the very dark Grey/Blue plush cloth that almost appears black in color. In the pictures I hadn't even vacuumed or cleaned it yet. There are no rips or tears and far less then average wear. The dash has several cracks that can be fixed, or replaced. The drivers seat has many adjustments and is literally as comfortable as my couch. The engine starts with the twist of the key, it burns no oil, has a lot of new parts, and pulls with full power through all the gears. The transmission is smooth. The clutch is strong. It has (4) nearly new Michelin tires. Brakes don't make any noise and stop the car exactly as they should. I would put my grandmother in this car and let her drive cross country.) Did I mention the A/C blows ICE COLD!! The new sony deck with mp3 player plug in sounds great! All the electronics work! Once you drive it you will not believe it has 277k on it! It goes to show you, a properly maintained and driven volvo 240 is far better than a 100k mile 240 that has been ignored. These cars are meant to be driven and maintained. You will not be dissapointed. The only fault with the interior is the spare tire cover in the back. Like most of them, it has rotted out and been replaced with a new plywood template. It just needs to be covered with the matching blue carpet. (or leave it as is). Driven sensibly, 30 mpg should be easily within reach. This was last used as a commuter car for that reason. It cruises the TX highways at 75 mph with ease and comfort. This is a 24 year old car, it is an exceptional example of a classic volvo 240 wagon. It is sold with love but no express or implied warranty of any kind. The car is sold as is, ready to drive home or be shipped anywhere in the country. I am available to help you secure shipping if this is your first time. Thanks for looking! |

The first trailer for Top Gear's 24th season shows a hands-free drag race
Tue, Dec 27 2016In the excitement over Amazon's new motoring show, it's important to remember that there's a certain series from the BBC that's attempting to get its mojo back for a 24th season. Yes, we're talking about Top Gear. Since Chris Evans' departure earlier this year, Top Gear news has been relatively sparse, particularly as The Grand Tour and its hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond seized headlines. But on Christmas, watchers of the series' YouTube channel caught a glimpse of the first scene from the next season. Featuring hosts Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid in what looks like a trio of old, dilapidated cars. We're thinking TG is running a taxi comparison. There's a London black cab and a Mercedes-Benz W210 – a favorite of European cabbies – but we aren't sure where Harris' boxy wagon fits in. Did the Volvo 850 Estate ever serve as a livery vehicle? But it's the basis for this comparison that's weird, because the hosts appear to be having a no-hands drag race. The cars veer off in different directions, traveling across what looks like a snow-covered dirt lot. We're assuming hilarity ensues. And while we don't quite know what they're hoping to accomplish, we are looking forward to watching it go down. Top Gear's 24th season doesn't have an official air date, and the video ends only with a cryptic "Coming Soon." Expect to hear more in the next few months.
Lexus LC 500 dominates 2016 EyesOn Design Awards
Wed, Jan 13 2016The Lexus LC 500 captured top honors for the best-designed production car and the best interior at the 10th annual EyesOn Design awards at the Detroit Auto Show. The awards are handed out by the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology. The Buick Avista won the concept car category, just as its four-door predecessor, the Avenir, did last year. Other winners this year included the Chrysler Pacifica, which won for the best-designed production "truck" (as crossovers and minivans are sometimes categorized), and the Audi H-Tron Quattro, which won for the best concept truck. The Acura Precision concept was also recognized for its "innovative use of color, graphics, and materials." And the new Volvo S90 was singled out for its human-machine interface. The panel of jurists this year included designers from an array of automakers and art schools. Several past honorees for the organization's LifeTime Design Achievement Award participated in the voting, including GM's Wayne Cherry, BMW DesignworksUSA founder Chuck Pelly, Hyundai's Peter Schreyer, and Jack Telnack (formerly of Ford). Telnack also served on the select panel of chief judges this year, alongside Chris Chapman from Hyundai, Dave Marek from Acura, and Stewart Reed from the Art Center College of Design. Lexus Takes 2 and Buick Wins Best Concept For 2nd Year at EyesOn Design Awards at NAIAS January 12, 2016, Detroit, Michigan.

Volvo joins Australia's V8 Supercars series [w/video]
Mon, 17 Jun 2013It was just a rumor, but now it's official, mates: Volvo will be joining the V8 Supercars series in Australia with an official team for 2014. Volvo is partnering with Garry Rogers Motorsport and its own Polestar tuning firm to create Volvo Polestar Racing.
A V8 engine will be produced by the Swedish arm of the racing effort, and will be supplied to the Garry Rogers team, which will get the whole shebang ready for the track. The outfit will be running two V8 Supercars "based on the production S60 road car." Considering that the S60 uses a range of transversely mounted engines with four, five or six cylinders (powering either the front or all four wheels) while the new race car will employ a V8 sending about 650 horsepower to the rear wheels, make that very loosely based on the production S60...
Volvo claims this is the first factory-backed entry in the V8 Supercars series from a luxury brand. We should note, though, that Mercedes-Benz is represented in the series with an E-Class sedan, but that outfit isn't quite an official entry from the car's German parents. In any case, you're encouraged to watch the teaser video and read the press release below for all the details.
