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 V60 Polestar speeds into view

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Send us photos of a new wagon out testing, and you've got our attention. Send us photos of a fast wagon lapping the Nürburgring and, well, we're just as giddy as can be. Our spy shooters just blessed our inbox with some fresh shots of Volvo's new V60 wagon out testing in Polestar guise, sporting the same Rebel Blue paint job as the thunder-from-Down-Under limited-edition S60 Polestar, as well as an aggressive front fascia, huge wheels, Brembo brakes, a rear diffuser panel and a roof spoiler. Hello there, hot stuff.
Like its sedan counterpart, the V60 Polestar is expected to use a boosted version of Volvo's 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, pumping out something like 350 horsepower. To keep everything in check, that force will almost certainly be sent to the ground via all-wheel drive.
It's unclear if Volvo will sell the V60 Polestar as a limited-edition affair for our friends in Australia, or if this longroof hot-hauler will be offered in other markets this time. After all, Volvo is bringing the V60 over to American soil early next year, so consider our fingers - and toes - crossed.

Volvo XC90 R-Design adds a dash of sport

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

The 2015 Volvo XC90 is a huge leap forward for the Swedish automaker as its first all-new model since leaving Ford ownership. There's a lot riding on the crossover's success, too, because its platform is supposed to underpin Volvo vehicles for years to come. The latest move for the new CUV is adding a little aggressiveness to the look with the R-Design trim for buyers desiring a sportier-looking Swede.
The R-Design joins the already announced Momentum and Inscription trims. Mechanically it doesn't change anything, but ticking the box for the R-Design adds a slightly different grille with horizontal slats, a redesigned lower air dam, new window trim, matte silver side-mirror covers and rectangular exhaust nestled in an altered lower rear bumper. The sportier XC90 comes standard with 20-inch wheels, but a 22-inch design is optional, as well.
The meaner look is carried inside with sport seats covered in Nubuck and Nappa leather, a perforated leather steering wheel and R-Design trim for the gearshift, pedals, floor mats and illuminated tread plates. The touchscreen infotainment system also gets an R-Design theme.

The Swedes Bend Sixes And Fives Into Fours
With government agency pressures mounting, the auto industry's latest engine and powertrain trends invariably include the cobbling of heretofore eight-cylinder models into charged (either turbo- or super-) six-cylinder models, six-cylinders into charged four-cylinders and so on. And then there's the mating of these downsized engines to fuel-saving automatic transmissions with ratio counts previously reserved for bicycles and semi trucks. Volvo can at last follow suit with the best of Germany and Japan thanks in great part to an $11-billion multi-year investment by its Chinese owners, Geely.
After we survived the recent Frankfurt Motor Show marathon of news and reveals (chief among said bits being the stunning Volvo Concept Coupe), we were escorted by the Swedish automaker to the far less frenetic air of southern France to explore the most significant step yet in the company's new life. Volvo's entire movement of new tech is referred to as Drive-E, and it includes these all-new four-cylinder engines we just tested, a new modular architecture called Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) that will first be found under the next-generation XC90, along with a host of other onboard advancements. Think of it as a Scandinavia's version of Mazda Skyactiv, a total-systems approach to developing more efficient yet more sporting new models.
