1989 - One Owner, 160,0000 Miles, Always Garaged And Maintained By Volvo Dealer on 2040-cars

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.
