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

Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.
Volvo PV444 turns 70
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Volvo has made all manner of vehicles over the course of its long history, including coupes, convertibles, hatchbacks, sedans, wagons and SUVs. But the vehicle that started it all was the PV444.
Or rather, we should say, the PV444 is what re-started it all. Because while it wasn't Volvo's first model, it was the first one it produced after the war. Monday, September 1, will mark 70 years since the PV444 first debuted at the Royal Tennis Hall in Stockholm pictured above, where the company received 148,437 visitors.
That presentation there took place shortly before the end of World War II when the vehicle wasn't even finished yet. A team of 40 engineers and designers were still fine-tuning the final version, but were eager to show the public what it would start building after the last bullet was fired and peace would return to Europe.
Volvo to use Oz as test bed for more Polestar models?
Tue, 25 Jun 2013We've already told you about the slightly more awesome version of the Volvo S60 that our friends Down Under can now get their hands on. And according to Aussie site Drive.com.au, Volvo may look to the land of Oz for future testing of new, Polestar-tuned, high-performance models.
Volvo has reportedly confirmed that this S60 Polestar run will be an exercise in testing the acceptance of the Swedish tuner's presence as a proper competitor for things like BMW's M division or Mercedes-Benz's AMG. (A tall order, for sure.) "The world is watching this exercise with much interest," Volvo Cars Australia boss, Matt Braid, told Drive.com.au.
Hans Baath, Polestar Managing Director, reportedly hinted that the tuning house had already begun work on a hotter version of the V40 hatchback, but the project was scrapped in order to get the S60 program rolling. If there's success to be found here, this smaller hot hatch could be revisited, as well as a more powerful version of the XC60 crossover.
