The vehicle has about 390k on it but it has been very well maintained.  A mechanical restoration was done about 5 years ago at about 340K miles.  The engine was replaced with one from a 93 240 and now has about 175K on it and runs great. The gearbox was completely rebuilt about two years ago (30K ago). At that time the clutch, throw out bearing and pilot bearing were replaced. In addition, a new timing belt and water pump were installed. 

The car has many upgrades including:

IPD sway bars front and rear, 
Glass Euro head lights, 
Custom turbo grille and fog lights, 
93 dashboard, 
Leather shift cover, sport steering wheel, 
Heated seats, heated remote mirrors (not currently working) 
Working A/C, which was converted to R134 and includes a new condenser, the larger 93 evaporator, electronics, switching and condenser fan.  It blows cold.  
Large tach, oil pressure and volt gauges, 
Sony stereo with USB port for Ipod, 6x9 coaxial rear speakers, with Pioneer coax front speakers, 
Original plastic floor trays and head-rest covers that match the seats. 
Black '93 trim around the windows, side running lights and newer tail lights. 
All of the plastic trim was removed for a cleaner look. 
Professionally restored Virgo wheels with newer Bridgestone tires. 

At about 340K the following was done:
New suspension bushings all around, new gas struts front and rear, new strut bearings, new wiring harness, new blower motor, heater core and heater valve, newer style power steering pump with integral reservoir. New rear axle bearings, new u-joints. New poly accessory bushings.

Last year:
New turbo type exhaust system, new voltage regulator, tune up with IPD ignition wires, coolant change and flush. New front calipers and brakes. Car has ceramic brakes in the rear and drilled rotors all around. New fuel filter and fuel line.  New fan clutch

Defects:
No rust except two smaller bubbles at the top and bottom of windshield on passenger side as shown in the pictures.  The windshield is cracked, but will be replaced before buyer pics up the car.

Small dent in driver's side fender near the front; noticeable, but not terribly unsightly. Small ripple in top surface of driver's door.  The paint is original except for the trunk lid, which was repainted.
Small oil leak from rear main seal,
Front seals are ready to be replaced; seals drive belts and timing belt will go with the car. 

Summary:
A great looking, good running, very well maintained car. Engine runs great, transmission shifts smoothly with no unusual noises or vibrations.  Car handles extremely well with the lighter wheels, performance tires and IPD suspension hardware.  

Since changing the engine, I've used Mobil 1 and Mann filters for all oil changes at every 4K miles. Redline Synthetic fluid in gearbox, synthetic fluid in rear end. 

Car is available for inspection upon request. 

$200 non refundable deposit due within 2 days of the end of auction. Full payment due before car is delivered

Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines

Sat, 23 Feb 2013


It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.

Jeremy Lin's new Volvo has him working out with the XC60

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Jeremy Lin rose to prominence as a point guard for the New York Knicks in February of 2012 when he came out of nowhere to lead the team to a string of victories. Volvo was quick to notice and signed him as the company's US spokesperson that March. Since then, he has starred in several Volvo advertisements, and his latest ad shows just how he uses his Volvo XC60 to train for the court. The highlight is Lin shooting free throws out of the sunroof.
Since leaving the Knicks, Lin has lost some of the visibility and hype that attracted Volvo to him in the first place. Still, commercials must be made, so check out Lin's latest below.

Volvo Concept Estate gets official [w/video]

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

The final chapter of Volvo's concept car trilogy has arrived after a few teasers earlier this week, as well as some recently leaked images, and as we so astutely summarized previously, it's a brown shooting brake. Really, we couldn't think of a better type of vehicle to follow up the Concept Coupe from the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Concept XC Coupe from the Detroit Auto Show and complete the Swedish trinity of concepts.
It's best to think of the Concept Estate as the hipper, classier cousin to the Concept Coupe. The two are virtually identical below the beltline, featuring front fascias that are indistinguishable from each other (except one is, you know, brown). Both cars wear wide, rectangular grilles inspired by classic Volvo models and T-shaped headlights Where the Concept Estate differs, obviously, is with its more functional rear end and longer roof.
That rear is accented by the Estate's wide haunches and slim, angular taillights, which borrow heavily from the units shown on the Concept XC Coupe. These two features work in tandem to present a wide, squat appearance from the rear. The profile, meanwhile, shows off that spacious greenhouse, which is made even airier by a glass roof.
