Hi I am selling my 1993 volvo 240 sedan 134,XXXk miles 5 speed manual trans its in great shape cosmetically and mechanically, its black exterior paint looks great w/ black cloth interior(9 out of 10). It has all the bells and whistles power everything. I am a volvo tech and have maintained and garage kept this 240 and really only drove it every once and awhile around the area not very often kind of a Sunday local car, I really dont want or need to sell this 240 but I have one to many volvos and need to trim down the fleet.(wife wants a spot in driveway) I originally purchased this volvo because it was clean and a five speed w/ the intention to swap the b230 engine w/ a b230ft engine but after driving this volvo for the last couple years I have decided it would be a shame to remove the low mileage engine that runs perfect and strong for another. I rebuilt a b230ft but I would rather put it into a 240 coupe so im keeping my eyes out for a clean one and selling this one. I have done many recent repairs like all new fluids, brakes, battery, clutch and cable, tuneup, timming belt, ball joints, and new tires w/ alignment the only things needed to be done are the rubber upper shock bushings and a/c needs to be recharged. The interior is very clean it includes heated seats, power everthing, dash pad (mint), original radio, rear 6x9 infiniti speakers. The car was involved in a minor accident in a pakinglot on 8/14/06 no frame damage but the drivers door was replaced w/ a oem door and painted paint job looks great cant tell, the floors are in mint shape the only spot of rust is on the inner door rocker panel of the rear drivers side door it can be repaired wich I didnt get to or another panel can be welded in wich I have and will include with the sale probably caused from a bad seal car is originally from PA.I have never drove the car during the winter or salted roads meaning clean car. In the pics it shows guages where the radio is I will put original radio back in its place also on the drivers door the speaker is missing wich I will put back before sale also the plastic piece behind rear liscense plate has cracked and has been removed since pics. Winner will be responsible for shipment of vehicle, I will need (CASH) in hand for the title before releasing the 240.
I could go on forever on how much I love this car because its the most dependable volvo I have owned and its a turn key and go ready. Email me if you have any questions.
Thanks

Last Volvo XC90 rolls off assembly line in Gothenburg
Mon, 14 Jul 2014It was back in 1998 when Volvo set about developing its first SUV. The brief was to build a seven-seater that wasn't "too large", and several design proposals were considered. Three and a half years later Volvo revealed the XC90 at the 2002 Detroit Auto Show and the rest, as they say, is history.
Volvo initially had an eye towards selling 50,000 units per year. It achieved that and then some, selling around 85,000 examples per year between 2004 and 2007. Now, after 12 years and 636,143 examples made - still over that initial target on average despite its lingering age that see it selling just 11,000 units these past few years - the last Volvo XC90 rolled off the assembly line in Gothenburg.
That final example is heading straight to the Volvo Museum adjacent to the factory. But it won't, strictly speaking, be the last XC90. It is the last of that model to be built in Sweden, but a new model is on its way. And the current model will continue to be built in Daqing, China, to be sold locally as the Volvo XC Classic. So if you want to get your hands on a seven-seat Volvo crossover, you'll have to move there. Otherwise you can wait until the end of January 2015 for the new model to begin production.
Volvo joins Australia's V8 Supercars series [w/video]
Mon, 17 Jun 2013It was just a rumor, but now it's official, mates: Volvo will be joining the V8 Supercars series in Australia with an official team for 2014. Volvo is partnering with Garry Rogers Motorsport and its own Polestar tuning firm to create Volvo Polestar Racing.
A V8 engine will be produced by the Swedish arm of the racing effort, and will be supplied to the Garry Rogers team, which will get the whole shebang ready for the track. The outfit will be running two V8 Supercars "based on the production S60 road car." Considering that the S60 uses a range of transversely mounted engines with four, five or six cylinders (powering either the front or all four wheels) while the new race car will employ a V8 sending about 650 horsepower to the rear wheels, make that very loosely based on the production S60...
Volvo claims this is the first factory-backed entry in the V8 Supercars series from a luxury brand. We should note, though, that Mercedes-Benz is represented in the series with an E-Class sedan, but that outfit isn't quite an official entry from the car's German parents. In any case, you're encouraged to watch the teaser video and read the press release below for all the details.
Daimler and Volvo plan hydrogen fuel cell truck production in 2025
Thu, Apr 29 2021LONDON — Daimler's truck unit and Volvo said on Thursday they would start making hydrogen fuel cells in Europe in 2025 via a joint venture, and called for EU policies to help make the zero-emission technology commercially viable. The rival German and Swedish makers of large freight-hauling trucks formed their venture, Cellcentric, in March. They said they would provide more details on large-scale fuel production in 2022, but said Cellcentric was already scaling up prototype output. "Partnerships like Cellcentric are vital to our commitment to decarbonizing road transport," Volvo Chief Executive Martin Lundstedt said in a statement. Aside from the fuel-cell joint venture, the two companies remain competitors. Both hope to test fuel-cell trucks in about three years and start mass producing trucks in the second half of this decade. The European Union has been pushing tighter emission standards, fueling a boom in zero-emission electric cars. But batteries in electric vehicles are very heavy, and hydrogen fuel cells are seen as a potentially more viable zero-emission power systems for long-haul freight in the future. Fuel cells produce electricity from hydrogen, emitting only water. The two truck makers called for the construction of around 300 hydrogen refueling stations suitable for heavy-duty vehicles in Europe by 2025 and about 1,000 stations by 2030. During a video conference with the two firms, European Commissioner for Transport Adina Valean said the commission would this summer propose a revised alternative fuels directive. She said this "will include binding requirements for rolling out hydrogen fueling infrastructure ... and financial support will be available where needed." Automaker Stellantis said this year it would begin deliveries in Europe of its first medium-sized vans powered by hydrogen fuel cells by the end of 2021. Stellantis said at the time that Germany had 90 hydrogen stations and France had 25 — a tiny fraction of the thousands of petrol stations available for fossil-fuel vehicles today. As zero-emission trucks are significantly more expensive than fossil-fuel models, Daimler and Volvo said a "policy framework is needed to ensure demand and affordability." The two companies said policies should include subsidies for "CO2-neutral technologies and a taxation system based on carbon and energy content."
