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

Gimp Pimp and Aqua Volvo at 24 Hours of LeMons | Car Club USA
Tue, Mar 22 2016Car Club USA heads to Sonoma, CA where the Gimp Pimp Cadillac and Aqua Volvo will take on all the crazy, sub-$500 competition at the 24 Hours of LeMons endurance race. "Over the last 30 years, car racing has gotten extremely serious and extremely expensive and it just seemed like there was a real need to make it accessible again," said LeMons founder Jay Lamm. The result is a series of endurance races across the US and Australia where all you need to join the fun is a junky car and some basic safety equipment. "It's just fun, compared to pro racing," said Wendy Epstein, driver of a 1979 Volvo 242 in bright "Aqua Volvo" livery. "24 Hours of LeMons is a form of racing that is designed to be cheap and easy, and anybody can do it," said Bill Manfroy, driver of the Gimp Pimp, a 1996 Cadillac SLS with some important modifications. "Part of what makes the Gimp Pimp Cadillac so special is that it does have hand controls, so it gives access to people like me that ordinarily get to race." "Which makes it perfect for LeMons." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.

Volvo dealers pushing for V40 in America [w/poll]
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Not too long ago, Volvo effectively replaced three models with one. Those were the C30, S40 and V50, and their replacement came in the form of the V40. While its predecessors were available (at some point, anyway) in North America, the V40 isn't. And that's something that Volvo's players in the US would like to change.
According to Automotive News, both Volvo Cars of North America and its dealers are pressing the factory to reverse its decision and prepare the V40 for an American assault on the likes of the Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3. It's a game they won before with the current V60, which hasn't been available here, but is set to make the transatlantic voyage come the start of the new year.
This time, though, Volvo Cars of North America may have a bigger fight on its hands, because the V40 wasn't designed to meet US regulations. Getting it up to spec, then, may be a bigger challenge than it's worth. But if the American importer and dealer network makes its voice heard, the V40's replacement could be designed with US regulations in mind.
Volvo and Starbucks to put charging stations at coffee shops
Tue, Mar 15 2022Volvo and Starbucks are joining forces to give electric vehicle owners a more pleasant charging experience. The two companies have announced a plan to install EV charging stations at Starbucks coffee shops across several U.S. states as part of a pilot program to study the project's scalability. About 60 chargers will be installed at 15 Starbucks locations along a 1,350-mile route between Denver and Seattle, which is home to the coffee giant. Volvo told Autoblog that the chargers will be a mix of ChargePoint DC chargers comprised of Express 250 units, capable of delivering 62.5 kW, and Express Plus units, capable of delivering up to 350 kW. All chargers will have both CHAdeMO and CCS plugs. Placed about 100 miles apart, the charger-equipped Starbucks fall within the range of most EVs, and their relative proximity should limit the amount of advanced planning one would have to do during an EV road trip. The companies plan to offer them to any drivers of electric cars. Charging fees will apply, but Volvo vehicles will get to use them either free of charge or at a discount. The locations of these chargers will show up in ChargePoint's smartphone app, or with an in-dash app on Google-equipped Volvo models. Jokes about latte-sipping Volvo drivers aside, the program opens a world of new opportunities for charging. A Volvo C40 Recharge takes about 40 minutes to replenish its batteries from 20% to 90%. Other electric cars are comparable. A coffee shop is a much more pleasant place to wait that out than a Kroger or Walmart, and as we discovered last week, EV chargers and businesses like Starbucks are banned from interstate rest areas by federal law. Add the availability of wifi and clean-ish bathrooms at most Starbucks locations, and it makes for an ideal pit stop opportunity. Besides, on a long road trip, drivers must replenish their caffeine just as cars must replenish their fuel tanks or batteries. The solution — chargers at coffee shops — is so glaringly obvious, it's a wonder why it's taken so long for a partnership like this to happen.
