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. $2200

Lotus' new position: Much improved, if Volvo's experience is a guide
Wed, May 24 2017Out today is the news that Geely Holding will acquire controlling interest in British sports car maker Lotus Cars. While some 20 years ago the Chinese acquisition of a British automaker might have inspired grumbling from aggrieved Brits (and the handful of Lotus enthusiasts), the world has moved on. And so – thankfully – can Lotus. To suggest Lotus' business history has been checkered is to broaden the definition of "checkered." With its beginnings in the early '50s as a maker of component cars for competition, Lotus founder Colin Chapman – in a manner not unlike his postwar contemporary, Enzo Ferrari – was always hustling, living a hand-to-mouth existence in the production of road cars to support a racing program. Regrettably, Chapman never found a Fiat, as Ferrari did toward the end of the 1960s. Lotus had Ford in its corner for racing and as a resource for powertrains, and later benefited from the corporate support of both GM and Toyota for relatively short periods. Lotus Cars, however, never enjoyed the corporate buy-in that would have allowed Chapman to race and let someone else build the cars. Regardless of what Consumer Reports or Kelley Blue Book might have thought (if they had ...) about those early Lotus cars, a great many are now regarded as classics. My first knowledge of a production Lotus was when Tom McCahill, the 'dean' of automotive journalists in the US, tested an early Elan for Mechanix Illustrated. While we're still not sure, some 50 years later, how McCahill's XXL frame fit into the tiny roadster, he had nothing but praise for the Elan's athletic chassis and now-timeless design. In today's Lotus portfolio, the Elise and Exige continue that light, athletic tradition, while the larger Evora seems to strike wide – literally and figuratively – of the "less is more" ideal. With the Toyota-powered Evora, more is more. But in an eco-sensitive era demanding more of the original Chapman mantra – add lightness – there's little reason that Lotus can't regain relevance if given the financial resources. Geely's acquisition of Volvo, the fruits of which appear regularly not only in the news but on the streets, suggests the Chinese investment will provide strategic vision (along with money) while allowing Lotus talent to do what it does best: Create an exciting product. And while at various periods in its history the product has been worthy, Lotus in the US has been ill-served by a flailing dealer network.
Turn up your speakers for this Shelby-powered Sunbeam Tiger and friends
Wed, 18 Jun 2014Most of us are never going to be like Jay Leno and drive a new car every day. However, it's possibly affordable to collect a handful of vintage rides, especially if you look a touch off the beaten path. In recent video, Petrolicious highlights Hans Abrahams, who is doing just that. He has three 1960s, European classics that love to be driven.
The absolute star of the trio is a 1966 Sunbeam Tiger. In the cabin, it has the meaty growl of a muscle car, but outside it has a little of the raspiness of period European cars. Abrahams says its mostly original except for its Ford 289-cubic-inch (4.7-liter) V8 with Shelby parts, producing around 273 horsepower. He says it's a bit difficult to maintain and hard to keep cool, but when you hear it, you know the trouble is worth it.
Next up, is Abrahams' 1965 MGB that is a bit of a monster in its own right. It lacks the Tiger's oomph under the hood, but it's loud enough to blow out Petrolicious' microphone. It's still a very cool little roadster.
2014 Volvo V60 to start at $35,300*
Tue, 31 Dec 2013When Volvo announced US pricing for its updated 2014 model line, it left one vital model out of the equation: that would be the V60, the long-roofed version of the S60 sedan and the long-awaited replacement for the V70 wagon that left our shores nearly four years ago. But if you look at the V60's product page now, you'll see a starting MSRP listed at $35,300. That represents a $2,900 premium over the S60 and an $800 premium over the larger (but older) XC70 softroader.
Delve further into the online configuration tool and you'll see that the price is applied, naturally, to the base turbocharged five-cylinder, front-drive model. Go for the Premier or Platinum trims and the price begins to climb, as it does with the addition of all-wheel drive, the turbo six engine and the R-Design spec. You'll also need to account for the *$915 destination charge. Tick all the boxes and you'll soon be looking at a price tag of over $50,000. Order books open with the start of the new year.
