1991 Volvo 240 Base Sedan 4-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
Shortsville, New York, United States
I purchased this Volvo almost 3 years ago from a dealer in Georgia. Other than the past 3 years with me (in Upstate New York) this car had 1 other owner in Southern California. The original owner had this car for over 20 years and took supreme care of it. It has been a fantastic car for me with very few issues. For a 23 year old car it has plenty of get up and go! I have done my best to service it regularly and keep it clean. However... my dog bit the drivers seat in a couple of places which I photographed. The blue leather seats have a lot of wear but I guess that comes with an older car. Again, please look at the photos.
If you are looking at this listing it's probably because you already know the 240 Volvo is a reliable, iconic car. Known for safety and stability. These cars are getting scarce... especially ones without rust and low mileage! Not long after I purchased this Volvo a woman pulled out and hit the front passenger side. The body shop was able to repair the fender without replacing it. Since the car had spent so many years in the California sun the paint was pretty dull so with the extra insurance money I had it re-painted this pretty gorgeous shade of blue. No rust, this car is BEAUTIFUL! I know everyone says this but I do hate to part with this car. However, with car seats and a dog I needed to upgrade to a station wagon. Truthfully, this car deserves better :) Pros : ? Low miles : < 97,625 ? Gorgeous Body ? 2 Owners ? Driven and Maintained ? Ready to Drive! ? No SMOKING ... EVER! ? Few 240's exist in this great condition ? All new brakes last summer ? Extra hub caps! (I found they tend to fall off so I saved the ones from my prior 240) ? Overall reliable and well loved car Cons (I admit there are a few!) : ? Needs new exhaust and muffler from catalytic converter back ? Worn Interior with a holes in the driver seat and cracks on the dashboard ? Radio does not work ? Missing front L corner molding Please write with any questions! Full Payment Due 3 business days after auction end. Pick up / delivery is the responsibility of the buyer. Thanks! Hannah |

Lotus could be sold to Chinese automaker Geely
Mon, Feb 20 2017Two things are constant throughout the history of Lotus Cars: amazing vehicles, and financial struggles. Frequent changes in both ownership and leadership have left the company's future up in the air. And while the new management has improved quality and set a new product plan in place, its seems that Lotus could have a new parent company soon. Despite comments to the contrary, Chinese automaker Geely is rumored to be interested in acquiring Lotus Cars. The British automaker has been owned by Proton since 1996, but after Proton was sold to DRB-Hicom in 2012 investors suggested selling off Lotus. The Star Online reports that PSA in France is rumored to be looking at purchasing Proton cars from DRB-Hicom. In turn, Geely, the parent company of Volvo, is interested in purchasing Lotus from Proton. The report states that Geely has no interest in mass-market vehicles from Proton, while crossover-focus PSA, owner of Peugeot and Citroen, has no interest in a sports car manufacturer like Lotus. China has been encouraging its native automakers to purchase and acquire technology it lacks. Buying Lotus looks like it would benefit both companies. Lotus needs an influx of cash while Geely, looking to compete further on the global stage, would gain a great deal of technical and engineering knowledge from Lotus. Geely's stewardship of Volvo has been mostly hands-off, while giving the Swedish company enough money to invest in new platforms and technologies. If the same were to happen to Lotus, Colin Chapman's company could have its best years ahead of it.

Volvo finds a way to turn body panels into batteries [w/video]
Thu, 17 Oct 2013One of the problems with designing an electric vehicle is figuring out where to fit the battery pack. Volvo - as a part of a European Union research project - is working on a way around this issue by replacing standard parts with lightweight components that double as batteries on both conventional and plug-in vehicles. The image above shows one such piece on a Volvo S80. While looking like nothing more than a carbon fiber plenum cover, the piece is actually a battery pack that can store and supply enough energy for the car's entire 12-volt power system.
The parts are made by sandwiching super capacitors (which can charge faster than standard batteries) in between layers of carbon fiber. They can then be formed to replace numerous body panels such as the decklid, roof or door panels. Volvo says that the replacing the body panels and batteries with these nano batteries can help reduce the vehicle's weight by as much as 15 percent. It has taken more than three years just to design the batteries, so there's no telling when, or if, we'll ever see this technology used on a production vehicle. Scroll down for a video and press release on Volvo's innovative battery technology.
