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!

Volvo's latest export from Sweden: paid parental leave

Tue, Mar 30 2021

STOCKHOLM — Volvo Cars will offer all its employees worldwide 24 weeks paid parental leave in a bid to support female executives and equal parenting. The carmaker, which is based in Sweden but owned by China's Geely Holding, has over 40,000 employees. From next month, all staff who have worked in Volvo plants and offices for at least a year will be entitled to the leave each time they have a child and will receive 80% of their base pay during the period, the company said on Tuesday. Sweden is one of few countries that already offers leave by law for either parent. "Some countries do not offer any paid leave to new parents, or exclude certain groups of parents – the latter is particularly true for fathers," the company, which previously did not have a global policy but adapted to local regulations, said in a statement. Around a third of Volvo's senior managers are currently female. The company aims to raise that share to 50%, a spokeswoman said, adding that Volvo's new policy will improve conditions for staff on parental leave not least in China and the United States. "When parents are supported to balance the demands of work and family, it helps to close the gender gap and allows everyone to excel in their careers," said Volvo Cars CEO Hakan Samuelsson. The global policy applies to either parent and the leave can be taken anytime within the first three years of parenthood. In Sweden, new parents are in general entitled by law to around a year of parental leave on up to 80% pay.  

Recharge Wrap-up: 10-year sentence for biodiesel fraudsters, overhead fast charging EV buses in Luxembourg

Thu, Nov 10 2016

Toyota will use addressable TV advertising to target potential Prius Prime customers. By choosing to advertise in households with specific attributes, Toyota hopes to grab the attention of buyers who "see their vehicle as an extension of their consumption of advanced technology," according to Toyota Motors Sales media manager Lisa McQueen. The ad depicts a person who is skeptical of various inventions throughout history until he finds himself inside the Prius Prime. Hyundai has also used addressable TV ads for its Genesis brand.

Thomas Davanzo and Robert Fedyna of Gen-X Energy Group and its subsidiary Southern Resources and Commodities were convicted of buying fuel that had already been sold with Renewable Identification Numbers, then fraudulently claiming more credits on that fuel. The scheme raked in more than $46 million, mostly in selling the fraudulent credits. Critics of the Renewable Fuel Standard point to incidents like this as a reason to oppose the program.

Public transport operator Sales-Lentz has ordered three of the Heliox systems that will charge the buses using pantograph (overhead wire) contacts. The chargers will be placed at end-of-route stops for opportunistic charging of the transport agency's four Volvo 7900 electric buses. The 450-kW, Wi-Fi-enabled OppCharge system automatically connects the charger to contact plates on the roofs of the vehicles, charging them in three to six minutes. Read more at Green Car Congress.

Volvo recommits to Sweden with development of next-gen platform and engines

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

Taking into account the facts that Volvo is now owned by China's Geely and how poorly the European automotive market has been recently, we would have definitely understood if Volvo moved production of its products out of its home market. And yet, the automaker has confirmed that it will be investing billions of dollars into new platforms and engines that will be made in Sweden. On a global scale, Volvo is making roughly $11 billion of investments, and close to half of that is being earmarked for Sweden for plant expansion and upgrades.
The new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform will be the used as the basis for most future Volvo products starting with the next-generation XC90 that will be debuting at the end of 2014. SPA will be used to make up two-thirds of Volvo's sales, and gives Volvo a quicker and easier break from Ford-derived platforms. As for the Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) family of engines, there are really no details about this mill except that it will be a four-cylinder that is more fuel efficient than current engines.
