1989 - One Owner, 160,0000 Miles, Always Garaged And Maintained By Volvo Dealer on 2040-cars
Powell, Ohio, United States
|
1989 Volvo – 160,000 actual miles! One Owner! Non Smoker. Rust free. Near mint condition and to the best of my knowledge, mechanically sound - inside and out.* It just breaks my heart to put it on the market. The miles are documented, the radio, cassette player and speakers work great. The Michelin rubber on all four wheels is in great shape. There is a small pin prick in the glass and a couple of very small interior surface cracks – which are barely noticeable. The heat blows hot and the AC works – but could use a charge. The seats and carpet look new – but are original. The engine compartment looks like its been detailed – but it hasnt – just immaculate and without any known leaks. The car runs smooth at 80mph without breaking a sweat and is a fantastic example of Volvo engineering! As you can see from the pictures, I have a treasure trove of Volvo memorabilia, literature and even have the original bill of sale and the original window sticker. To many new/replacement items to mention but has new belts, (including Timing), Tires, Radiator, Exhaust to name a few. Car is leak free. The detailed documentation – shows that the oil was changed every 5,000 miles and that all of the manufacturers’ recommended maintenance work was performed on schedule by the local Volvo dealer. The vehicle has always been garaged and literally driven about 4,000 miles a year. Records show that the dealer regularly washed and waxed the car– so the paint looks brand new! *Unfortunately, the car was recently side-swiped on the interstate. The title is clear (not salvage) but sadly, the left quarter panel was damaged and the bumper torn (and ultimately removed). Since the impact wasnt direct, the frame appears to be solid and true (see the attached pictures) and the car drives without any pull or sway – the same way it has for the last 25 years! Our pearl white 240 is being sold as is – but you are welcome to inspect it in advance of placing your bid – but if not, you will need to pay close attention to the photos. If you are the winning bidder - payment is due within 24 hours. Vehicle needs to be picked up within 7 days. Storage for up to 30 days is available at $15.00 per day – but arrangements will need to be made in advance. With such a low reserve, this is clearly one of the best dollar for dollar 240 values on Ebay. We live in Dublin, which is a suburb outside of Columbus, Ohio. After making a few calls, I can confirm that bumpers are available in the Midwest for between $100 and $150 with quarter panels also readily available. After this baby is put back together – it will once again be a spectacular show car and will hopefully provide its new owner with many happy miles of driving. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions and happy bidding! |

Volvo previews Concept XC Coupe ahead of Detroit reveal [w/video]
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Volvo is in the midst of a three-stage design revolution. The first stage came with the reveal of the Concept Coupe in Frankfurt just this past September. What you see here is our first glimpse at the second stage.
The Volvo Concept XC Coupe previewed here will be unveiled in full on January 8 in advance of the Detroit Auto Show. While the previous concept was all sleek, the Concept XC Coupe takes a more rugged, utilitarian approach with a hatchback roofline, higher ride height, knobbier tires, lower body cladding and a rooftop box. From what we can see, it looks like a cross between the previous concept and an XC70 wagon that could preview a soft-road replacement for the C30 hatchback.
That's about all there is to say at this point, but you can scope out the press release along with the video below and the trio of teaser images in the gallery above.
Volvo leads and Mini fails in JD Power's Tech Experience Index
Wed, Aug 19 2020New cars are basically rolling computers. Everything from the engine to the infotainment runs on a series of ones and zeros, and a lot of that technology requires input from the driver. So it's no surprise that JD Power has a study designed specifically to discern which bits of tech drivers love and which bits they loathe. "New technology continues to be a primary factor in the vehicle purchase decision," says JD Power's Kristin Kolodge, executive director of driver interaction & human machine interface research. "However, it’s critical for automakers to offer features that owners find intuitive and reliable. The user experience plays a major role in whether an owner will use the technology on a regular basis or abandon it and feel like they wasted their money." The J.D. Power 2020 U.S. Tech Experience Index (TXI) Study found that Volvo owners are happiest with the technology packed inside their vehicles, followed by BMW and Cadillac, all brands that JD Power classifies as premium. The highest-rated mainstream brand is Hyundai, followed by Subaru and Kia. As was the case with the organization's Initial Quality and APEAL studies, Tesla's numbers aren't officially included because they are the only automaker that has not granted JD Power approval to contact its owners in states that require it. Tesla's projected score of 593 would have put it in second place, right behind Volvo's score of 617. The lowest-ranked brand in the TXI Study is Mini, with Porsche right behind. Diving a little bit deeper, JD Power's findings suggest that the technologies new car buyers care most about are related to helping them see their surroundings better. Camera systems, including rear-view mirror cameras and ground-view cameras, scored highest in five of the six satisfaction attributes measured in the study. The technology that owners could really do without? Gesture controls. Owners who answered JD Power's survey say they don't use gesture controls much at all after initially trying them, and they don't really care if their next vehicle has them. We have to wonder if those responses might be what kept BMW out of the top spot. The TXI Study also found that owners are split on automated driving helpers, like lane-keeping assist and automatic emergency braking. JD Power suggests that owners may need more training on those systems before they learn to trust them. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Volvo updates Inscription packages for 2015 XC60, S80
Tue, 01 Apr 2014Volvo is improving the luxury offered by the XC60 and S80 with upgrades to both models' Inscription packages for 2015. It is also making all of its models (other than the soon-to-be-replaced XC90) available with its new Drive-E engine family and Sensus infotainment system.
The Inscription package was previously available on both the XC60 and S80, but new upgrades include Sovereign Hide leather throughout their interiors, including on their instrument panels, seatbacks, center armrests and headrests. Inscription also adds wood inlaid trim and new floor mats. On the outside, the package is offered in Crystal White Pearl, Electric Silver and - exclusively for the S80 - Ember Black. The XC60 comes with 20-inch, ten-spoke wheels, and the S80 receives 19-inch wheels of the same design.
As part of its sponsorship of a yacht race, Volvo is also bringing the XC60 Ocean Race Edition to the US. Buyers will get their choice of black or blonde leather seats with orange stitching, a map of the race route on the rear load cover and the event's logo around the car.
