The Volvo 240 is one of the most reliable cars ever made and that's why you still see them on the road today! Check out this amazing 1989 Volvo 240. 
Great condition - complete with full service and oil records from the first owner up to 90,000 miles provided upon request. I always get looks and questions about this car and I will be sad to see it go. 
This vehicle is sold AS IS.

The Good: 
  • The engine runs strong and gets around 30mpg mainly highway, but I do some city driving too.
  • Has been well maintained and as I said earlier I have the records in the service booklet.  
  • Always local to central Illinois and owners know each other.  (So I know the history and that it was maintained well previously.)
  • Transmission shifts really well and recently replaced the overdrive relay with a OEM unit.  
  • Newer cd player that works.  
  • Very clean interior with great seats and original all weather floor mats.
  • Brakes are in good condition and tires all have good tread on them.  
  • Exhaust system is in good condition as well.  
  • All lights work except the dash lights, but I have LED lights placed there so you can see at night.  

The Bad: 
  • The dash lights that i mentioned earlier, but like I said I have put lights there so it isn't an issue at night (also, they tun on when you turn the headlights on.) 
  • The car has heated seats, but they blow the fuse for them if they are on too long.  Not sure why, but a mechanic said it is a ground issue i think.  
  • The body is not perfect, but the car is 24 years old.  (Look at the photos)
  • A/C does not work, but heat is great.  
  • The suspension doesn't have anything broken, but could use new lower control arm bushings and rear trail arm bushings.  (priced at around $200 for both kits.)
  • All of the dash instruments work, but the odometer and trip stopped working around a year and a half ago.  My best estimate is the car has between 130,000-135,000 miles on it.
I think that is all.  If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me.  I bought a newer Volvo so this one has to go.  I love the car and wish I could keep both, but that would be selfish.  So I hope that whoever wins the auction has many years of enjoyment from the car.

I'm sorry I forgot to mention that the hood is a little higher on the passenger side. This is an issue you see in many 240's because the hinge locks, but these have been oiled so you shouldn't have any issues with the hood.

Apple announces CarPlay in-car iPhone interface

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Apple, maker of tech items like the iPhone, iPad and Mac line of computers, is extending its reach into the automotive market, making a fairly big announcement ahead of the Geneva Motor Show. No, it hasn't bought Tesla (yet). Instead, Apple has announced CarPlay, an all-new means of controlling an iPhone through your car.
Now, this doesn't strike us as some gimmicky thing. It's become increasingly common for automakers to take advantage of the high-speed data streams its customers enjoy on their smartphones in order to integrate navigation, traffic, audio and other infotainment items into a car's touchscreen interface. The Chevrolet Spark and Sonic are two prime examples of this move, using an iPhone's data stream for Siri integration and data for a third-party navigation app.
Owners will be able to plug in their iPhones to their cars via the USB port and gain control of a number of the device's functions, all through a car's touchscreen.
