1993 Volvo 240 Wagon, Third Seat, Security System, 151k Mi Clean! on 2040-cars
Norwalk, Connecticut, United States

THE BEST OF THE LAST THIS
240 Wagon exemplifies why these very collectible daily drivers have become so
desirable. This 2 owner exceptionally clean car in and out has only been driven
9,500 miles in the past ten years by a well-respected Metro North Boston repair
facilities owner/tech’s wife. As you can imagine the previous owner kept this
one in excellent mechanical condition using only original factory Volvo
replacement parts. The timing belt and water pump were replaced 4,000 miles ago
@ 146,220 miles. Everything is operational on this car such as the odometer and
fuel gauge, also the blower motor/fan has a strong 4 speed heating/defrost
delivery system to work along with the A/C system (Volvo R134) to give real
comfort in the coldest winters and the worst of the summer heat... Both map
pockets on front door doors have just been replaced. The center console that
houses the power mirror controls and heated seat switches are also in great
condition. The center arm rest (rare) only 93 models is mint with drink
holders. Due to fading over the last 20 years I elected to change all the
lenses front and rear (head lights, tail lights, and both directional lenses).
This 240 has every possible option from heated seats, power mirrors, power
windows, and door locks, remote start, key less entry, two sets (key fob), 3rd
row seating, roof rack, complete set of factory floor mats (equiv. to weather
tech)... Clean Ma. Title and all service records. We just had it checked out by our trusted Volvo Mechanic who gave it a thumbs up! No work needed on the vehicle. |

Volvo to test 100 self-driving cars on Swedish roads [w/video]
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Autonomous vehicles are increasingly being tested on public roads around the globe, including Nissan in Japan and Google here in the US, and now Volvo is preparing to test its own self-driving cars on the streets of Sweden. In conjunction with the state government, Volvo's Drive Me project kicks off next year, starting with the development of customer research and infrastructure technology before setting 100 self-driving cars loose on the streets of Gothenburg in 2017.
These 100 cars will be in the hands of customers, and the tests will help Volvo and the Swedish government track varying aspects of self-driving cars including economic benefits, consumer confidence, traffic flow and passenger safety. The technology being developed by Volvo uses not only on-board radar and sensors but also map data gathered from the cloud, and it controls all driving systems including the brakes, throttle and steering. Drivers can engage and disengage the car's autonomous drive mode by pushing a button on the steering wheel, and the technology will also allow for a self-parking feature.
While the cars shown in this demo are S60 models, the test vehicles will be based on Volvo's upcoming Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), which underpins future models like the next-gen Volvo XC90. Scroll down for a video and press release marking the announcement.

Volvo to finally replace XC90 in 2014
Wed, 16 Jan 2013There's not a whole lot of life left in the current Volvo XC90, but it seems a replacement is on the way. According to What Car?, Volvo will launch its new flagship crossover sometime in 2014, riding on an all new platform that will eventually underpin several models in the company's range.
According to Volvo boss Hakan Samuelsson, this new architecture will eventually underpin the next-generation S60, V70, S80 and XC60, all of which will be getting mid-cycle enhancements over the next year. In speaking to What Car?, Samuelsson said that Volvo would not try to follow the paths set by BMW and Mercedes-Benz, instead focusing on "safety, elegant design and user-friendly functionality" for its next round of new cars.
The new XC90 will remain a seven-passenger vehicle and will be powered by a range of four-cylinder engines. Volvo will soon be dropping the five- and six-cylinder powertrains from its lineup.
