1991 Volvo 240 Station Wagon. The little station wagon runs very well, it handles great, drives straight, tight and solid like it should. Very well maintained by an owner with vehicular OCD! lol 139600 original miles showing on a working odometer. 4 Cylinder engine with Automatic transmission that shifts smoothly. Power windows (All work) Cold A/C (Brand new evaporator core, newer compressor and dryer, Repair total was $1800.00) AM/FM/CD aftermarket system. The clock in the dash works and keeps time! Timing belt replaced about 2 years ago. Newer brakes. Disc brakes all around. Tuned up about 6 months ago, plugs, wires, belts, hoses etc. New ECU ($500.00) also about 6 months ago. When replaced, I opted for one with a 5 year warranty rather than a 2 year for an extra $200.00 bucks. Goodyear tires with probably 90% of their tread remaining (matching set). Paint is in very nice condition, I had the hood and roof painted about a year ago as they were starting to fade. Overall, there are a few hard to locate scratches on the car, and the tailgate has a two small dings (pictured), other than that, the old girl looks like a car that is 1/10 her age. Always a Florida car. Privacy tinted rear windows. All lights work, including the rear third tailgate brake light. Interior (original navy Blue) is in really nice condition, seats show some wear, but not much, door panels are excellent as are the door map pockets, dash is nice, seats both front and rear are in good shape. Carpet which has been protected by the Volvo all weather floor mats is in really nice condition. There is also an all weather mat for the rear cargo area carpet as well (not pictured, it was in the garage when I did the cars photo shoot). Rear cargo roll up cover, it doesn’t retract well. Headliner is good. And
for the cons: Both
horn and cruise control work intermittently, the horn issue is recent, the
cruise hasn’t worked in the 4+ years I’ve had the wagon. I’d
replaced the center console between the front seats and it never fit quite
right. Outer
rubber door window seals are showing their age and have some cracking
(pictured). Stereo
speakers aren’t all that great. Either the ones in the front doors don’t work,
or I’ve got the fade and balance on the radio adjusted incorrectly. The
“burned out bulb warning light” on the dash illuminates on and off when the
lights are on. I’ve found no burned out bulbs, I’ve replaced all the bulbs in
an effort to fix this issue, but to no avail. Any questions, feel free to shoot me an email.
If you are local (or even if you’re not) and would like to inspect the car prior to bidding, let me know and we can certainly make arrangements for you to do so. Thanks. |

Volvo's next-generation cars will feature gaming-derived graphics
Fri, Jun 3 2022Volvo joined forces with Epic Games, the company that created the Fortnite franchise, to give its next-generation cars a faster infotainment system with vastly improved graphics. Using technology gleaned from the world of gaming promises to unlock a long list of new features. Don't expect to see a Fortnite-themed display in the XC90's replacement; the partnership isn't going that far. Volvo explained that it will use the Unreal Engine, a real-time 3D creation tool developed for industries outside of the gaming world, to develop the digital interface it will program into future additions to its range. This technology will allow it to deliver richer colors, sharper renderings and new 3D animations. Good graphics aren't worth much if the software is annoying to use, so Volvo will power its next infotainment system with the third-generation Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms designed by Qualcomm. We're told that the end result is a system that's over twice as fast as the one Volvo currently uses, and whose graphic generation and processing capacities are up to 10 times faster. Volvo hasn't released a video of the software in action yet, but we won't have to wait long to see it: the feature will debut in a new flagship model due out by the end of 2022. This isn't the first time that Volvo has enlisted the help of a technology company to design an infotainment system. Its current cars (like the C40 Recharge) are fitted with Google's Android Automotive OS infotainment system. And, the worlds of gaming and in-car technology have collided before: Nissan notably asked Polyphony Digital, the company behind the Gran Turismo franchise, to design the GT-R's display.

Volvo Car partners with Northvolt to develop and produce batteries
Mon, Jun 21 2021STOCKHOLM — Volvo Car Group, owned by China's Geely Holding, announced plans on Monday for a joint venture with Swedish battery maker Northvolt to develop sustainable batteries for its electric cars and set up a factory for production. The companies aim to set up a research and development center in Sweden to begin operations in 2022 and start a factory in Europe with a potential capacity to produce up to 50 gigawatt hours (GWh) per year in 2026. "Working closely with Northvolt will also allow us to strengthen our in-house development capabilities," said Hakan Samuelsson, chief executive at Volvo Car Group. Northvolt will become Volvo Cars' exclusive battery cell production partner in Europe. The factory will be powered by clean energy and is expected to employ around 3,000 people. The location of the plant has yet to be decided. Northvolt raised $2.75 billion in equity this month to expand capacity at the factory it is building in northern Sweden, and Volvo plans to source battery cells from that battery plant starting in 2024. German carmaker Volkswagen is Northvolt's biggest shareholder, and the battery maker has also got contracts worth billions from the likes of BMW and Scania. Battery makers are scrambling to keep up with demand as carmakers switch to electric in order to reduce planet-warming carbon emissions. Volvo Cars aims to sell 50% pure electric cars by the middle of this decade, and by 2030 it aims to sell only fully electric cars. Electric successor to Volvo's XC60 model will be the first car to feature battery cells developed through the joint venture.
Volvo unveils all-new user interface destined for next-gen XC90 [w/video]
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Take a close look at the cabin of the Volvo Concept Estate shown above. One of the big features on the fancy, brown shooting brake is an all-new user interface called, well, it doesn't really have a name, at least not one Volvo is revealing.
The refreshingly nameless system looks seriously impressive based on the short video that accompany's the system's press release. The jewel of the whole interface is a sizable touchscreen that manages most every in-car function save for a few vital functions like volume, hazard lights and other systems that still demand a more tactile interface.
"The basic idea is to organize controls and information in a perfectly intuitive and user- friendly way. Everything is exactly where you expect it to be, making the drive more enjoyable, efficient, and safe," Thomas Ingenlath, Volvo's Senior Vice President of Design, said in a statement.
