This is a white 1990 Volvo Wagon with undetermined mileage (the odometer didn't work when we purchased it). It is estimated to be 175,000-200,000. We purchased the car in Cottonwood, Arizona about two years ago from a private seller who informed us that he got it in Phoenix (having spent it's entire life there). There is a dent on the right passenger side from a minor accident. We had the car mechanically inspected before we bought it and was told it was all cosmetic. Before we left Arizona, we purchased a used, but straight passenger-side door and fender from a dealer in Tucson. These are included but will need to be painted to match. There is no rust except for a tiny spot on the hood which occurred due to tree sap.
The wagon runs fine, however there are engine oil and automatic transmission fluid leaks. The car has had no problem passing Ohio e-check. The A/C does not work. The fan squeals on the two lower speeds. Tires are still good. The rear fog/wiper/washer wires have been clipped before we bought it. It has new front struts. The cruise control does not function. We upgraded the stereo with a Sony CD/Bluetooth unit. Heated seats appear to be unplugged (again, before we got it). Seats are in good shape with a only a small cigarette burn? on the passenger side. The car does not smell like smoke whatsoever. Neither us or the previous owners were smokers. There's cracks in the plastic around the rear pillars, but the rear seats and carpeting in the back and the cargo area are very good. The third stoplight/rear reverse lights are not functioning. We purchased blue thermoplastic OEM Volvo mats that are included. Power windows work, interior lights are mostly perfect.
Overall, this 240 runs well and has a lot of life left in her. My parents have owned quite a few Volvo 240's over the years and they don't sell this car easily. They've recently retired and just want something more modern. Considering there's no rust (except for the spot on the hood), this wagon is really an excellent value. More pictures available upon request. Car is for sale locally, so auction may end early if no bids are received. $2500

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

Volvo unveils all-new user interface destined for next-gen XC90 [w/video]
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Take a close look at the cabin of the Volvo Concept Estate shown above. One of the big features on the fancy, brown shooting brake is an all-new user interface called, well, it doesn't really have a name, at least not one Volvo is revealing.
The refreshingly nameless system looks seriously impressive based on the short video that accompany's the system's press release. The jewel of the whole interface is a sizable touchscreen that manages most every in-car function save for a few vital functions like volume, hazard lights and other systems that still demand a more tactile interface.
"The basic idea is to organize controls and information in a perfectly intuitive and user- friendly way. Everything is exactly where you expect it to be, making the drive more enjoyable, efficient, and safe," Thomas Ingenlath, Volvo's Senior Vice President of Design, said in a statement.
