1990 Volvo 240 Dl Sedan 4-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
Oak Ridge, Tennessee, United States
|
This vehicle was purchased as part of an estate sale. The original husband/wife owners from North Carolina kept this vehicle garaged and serviced for approximately 23 years ! This car is in MINT condition for the year. You would be hard-pressed to find a nicer, cleaner and more beautiful 1990 Volvo 240 DL ! The safety & reliability of the Volvo 240 is legendary. This car is a TANK and is in stunning condition. A stack of maintenance paperwork, the original owners manual and 2 sets of keys for this Volvo. This vehicle always starts on the first try and simply floats down the highway -- drives SO good, you would never know the car was almost 25 years old ! We would definitely be keeping this one but we are getting a new Acura and unfortunately the Acura will get the Volvo's spot in the garage. This vehicle has been garaged and protected all of its life and we just don't want it to sit outside (and we don't really have the space for it). The exterior paint is in GORGEOUS condition with no signs of rust anywhere. I cannot even find a door-ding which is amazing for a 25 year old car. The interior is a medium blue color and is in extra good condition. The headliner (white headliner) is nearly PERFECT! Seat upholstery and carpet are incredibly clean. This would be a perfect first car or a car for the Volvo enthusiast. The odometer stopped working at 200,625 miles (this is a very common problem with the Volvo 240's). The odometer can be repaired at a Volvo dealership or you could probably find a mechanic to fix this. On the last trip to get the oil changed, the mechanic said the vehicle probably has approximately 220K miles would be his best guess. He also stated he had never seen a 240 come in to his shop in such great condition. I was told that the air conditioner requires a freon charge every summer/every other summer. This vehicle has all of the original Volvo glass (no cracks, chips, etc). to have original glass all the way around on a car nearly 25 years old is remarkable. We are located close to the Knoxville TN area. If you want the car shipped, you will be responsible for setting all of that up. We have Greyhound Bus Station, MegaBus and an airport all in close proximity. If you have any questions you can contact me at 865.235.4805 (please contact me before 10PM EST). If you would like additional pics, please let me know. Thanks and Happy Bidding ! :)

Watch this Volvo truck drive up a quarry road using hamster-powered steering
Fri, 13 Sep 2013Volvo Trucks has been producing some of the most interesting and thrilling commercials around as of late, and this new one involves a live hamster. While you may wonder how could a hamster and a dump truck could be exciting, just know this ain't a Kia Soul commercial: the Swedish truck company enlists the help of a hamster named Charlie to steer an FMX construction truck up a winding road in Ourence, Spain. From the bottom of a quarry. We are not kidding you.
All we ask is that you watch the commercial below to see how it all goes down. If you like what you see, you can then check out a bonus 'behind the scenes' video and press release for details about how Volvo Trucks prepared for the stunt.
Volvo celebrates 20 years of sleeper wagons with 850 T-5R and V60 Polestar
Mon, 10 Nov 2014I must have been around Bar Mitzvah age when I was in the back of my parents' car on the highway as we passed a truck full of Volvo 850 T-5R wagons - half of them in black, half in banana yellow. It was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen: a whole gaggle of sleeper power wagons that were infinitely cooler than whatever minivan we were riding in. Hard to believe that was 20 years ago, but it was. And Polestar is understandably keen to mark the anniversary of the first overt Volvo performance wagon.
While Volvo's racing partner hasn't released some commemorative edition to celebrate that prototypical sleeper, it has shot a special batch of photos of the T-5R (based on the 850 wagon internally known as the 855 for its five doors) alongside its modern successor, the V60 Polestar. The images shot in Huntington Beach, CA, only go to show how much has changed in the two decades that separate them.
Whereas this front-drive T-5R packed a turbocharged inline-five driving 240 horsepower through a four-speed automatic propel the yellow box to 62 in 7.0 seconds, the turbo six in the svelter, Rebel Blue-clad 2015 V60 Polestar churns out 350 hp to all four wheels through a six-speed auto for a 4.9-second sprint. That's the kind of progress we can get behind. In fact, it's the sort of progress that everyone can get behind, really, because chances are whatever you're driving will probably have a hard time keeping up.
