1990 Volvo 240 Dl Wagon 4-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
West Palm Beach, Florida, United States
1990
Volvo 240 DL Station Wagon. 184000
miles showing on the non-working odometer. I
have two of these little 240 wagons, the first is also here on eBay and figured
I’d let this one go as well. This one runs well, but it is showing its age of
now 24. 4 Cylinder engine that runs very well with Automatic transmission that shifts smoothly.
The car drives straight and handles well. Power
windows (All work) AM/FM/CD
aftermarket system. Recent
tune up. Kelly
tires with probably 80% of their tread remaining (matching set). Volvo
240 Turbo Virgo wheels. Paint
is nice on the sides, roof and hood need to be painted. Always
a Florida car. Interior
(original tan) is in decent condition. Front cloth seats are nice, rear seat
shows age, door panels are decent, no map
pockets, dash is nice. Overall, the interior is showing the typical Volvo age. Car
originally had a roof rack, I didn’t get it with the car, but got those other roof
racks that are in one of the photos. They are included with the car when sold. The
car does have some negative points, I’ll list them below. Overall It’s still a
solid little good running car that I felt was worth the time and effort to make
nice once again, but I just have way too many other things going on. Rear
hatch needs new lift supports. It’s a head banger if you’re not paying
attention. Outer
rubber door window seals are showing their age and have some cracking
(pictured). I
think that the power steering pump is on its way out, its stiff to turn when
cold. There
are a few spots of rust on the car by where the roof rack used to bolt down. But
it appears to be just on the surface. Carpet
is faded. Rear cargo carpet is faded and soiled. A/C
is not cold. Was charged last summer and worked for some months, but slowly
began to get warmer. That’s everything I can think of at
the moment, if I missed anything, it was by no means intentional. You can have this little car for $1650.00. I know it's less than most any other one on eBay is selling for, but I figured that this price reflects the amount of things that it will need to be a really nice car again. Any
questions, feel free to shoot me an email. If you are local (or even if you’re not) and would like to inspect the car prior to bidding, let me know and we can certainly make arrangements for you to do so.
The car is in Royal Palm Beach FL, 33411 Thanks.

Top 10 small cars with the longest total driving range
Thu, Mar 19 2015Editor's Note: Since this article was originally posted in the spring of 2015, much has changed in the automotive landscape, especially among those shopping for small car economy. With thanks to Volkswagen for their blatant cheating – and subsequent cover-up – on diesel emissions, the largest player in the diesel passenger car segment isn't playing – they're paying; billions are going for both car buybacks and federally-imposed penalties. And for a few VW execs there exists the very real possibility of jail. With the absence of a big player and the abrupt entrance – via Chevy's new Bolt – of an affordable EV with 200+ miles of range, we've limited the diesel listings to Jaguar's new XE. And for those wanting an updated look at efficiency and range, Autoblog has it – or the EPA has it. Long before electric vehicles were part of the mainstream conversation, car lovers and skinflints alike would boast about the total range of their vehicles. There's something about getting farther down the road on one tank of gas that inflames the competitive spirit, almost as much as horsepower output or top speed. Of course, the vehicles with the very best range on today's market are almost all big trucks and SUVs; virtually all have the ability to carry massive reserves of fuel. Top up a standard Chevy Suburban and you can expect to travel almost 700 miles (you'll need to stop before the Suburban stops...), while a diesel-fed Jeep Grand Cherokee manages almost as many. But what about vehicles that are smaller? The EPA has, essentially, three classifications for 'small' vehicles: Minicompact, Subcompact and Compact. All three are measured based on interior volume, meaning that some cars with rather large exterior dimensions and engines slot in next to traditional small cars. But even though impressive GT coupes from Porsche, Bentley and Mercedes-Benz may have much larger gas tanks to feed their powerful engines, that capacity is offset by higher rates of consumption... in most cases. We used the EPA's Fuel Economy Guide for model year 2017 cars as a start, calculating the official highway miles per gallon rating with each vehicle's tank capacity. The resulting numbers aren't necessarily real world, but they do offer a spectrum for total theoretical range. The eventual top ten surprised me on a few occasions, and comprised quite a varied list of vehicles. 10.
Tesla poaches Volvo interior engineering boss Anders Bell
Tue, Dec 20 2016Tesla is the belle of both the eco-friendly and luxury balls. The company's Model S and Model X are status symbols, and benchmarks for the ability to blend both green credentials with performance and a luxury driving experience. That said, their cabins aren't necessarily deserving of those credentials. That's why this little news nugget is such a big deal for the California brand. Electrek reports that Tesla has poached Anders Bell from Volvo. Bell confirmed the move via his LinkedIn page. The (now former) head of interior engineering and senior director of engineering was responsible for the Swedish brand's raft of high-quality, beautifully crafted cabins. Doubtless Tesla wants a piece of the critical acclaim Volvo's received for the interior design and quality on its 90-series models – XC90, S90, and V90. The move is, at least based on Electrek's stalking of Bell's LinkedIn profile, a big loss for Volvo. Bell joined the Swedish brand fresh out of Halmstad College's engineering program in 1998 and has spent his entire career working for Gothenburg and its various owners. That included a nearly four-year stint in China after Geely bought Volvo from Ford, assisting with the Chinese launch of the XC60. Bell's listed his final project with his previous employer as "development, design, and release of Volvo interiors to be launched 2017-2018 and concept definitions of interiors 2019 and beyond." That means that while Bell started at Palo Alto this month, his impact at Volvo won't fade for several more years.

How does a massive Volvo truck compare to a Koenigsegg on a track?
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Volvo Trucks thinks that its latest FH semi truck has a little sports car DNA mixed in with the ability to haul heavy loads thanks to its novel dual-clutch gearbox. And the company's marketing department certainly has an intriguing strategy to get the word out about the big rig's sporty traits. First, it staged a prank on an unsuspecting valet on the Italian Riviera, and now the FH has lined up a track battle around the Knutstorp racetrack against Sweden's ultimate supercar - a Koenigsegg One:1.
Fifth Gear host Tiff Needell takes the reins of the big Volvo and spends a little bit of time talking up its I-Shift Dual Clutch gearbox. However, the real fun is seeing the FH taking on the One:1. Of course, a head-to-head battle would hardly be fair against these extremely mismatched opponents. Instead, the challenge is for the 1,360-horsepower Koenigsegg to lap the track twice in the same time or less than the semi can do it once.
You just have to watch the video to see how if the big rig rises to the challenge. Also, scroll down to read Volvo Truck's press release touting the new gearbox, and check out the company's YouTube channel for more views of the race and a behind-the-scenes look.
