1993 Volvo 240 5-speed Wagon 123k ** No Reserve ** on 2040-cars
Oakham, Massachusetts, United States
** NO RESERVE ** Please read entire description before bidding. Contact me first if you have zero or negative feedback please. I recently bought this car with the plans to freshen it up but also came across another project that now is taking up my garage space. I'd rather not store the 240 this winter. It has lots of positives; - It's the manual 5 speed (which is very rare in a late model 240 wagon) - Low miles 123K - Service book stamped by dealer through 80K miles - Literally every receipt since new (has to be an inch stack of receipts) - Clutch done at 80K - Clean Carfax - no accidents - No CEL or other lights lit - Map pockets intact. - Recent steering rack replacement - Recent timing belt and water pump - Very minimal rust Fairly well optioned - heated seats, power mirrors, power windows - AC that works. It's not without it's flaws tho; - Paintwork below the belt line on passenger side and tailgate - likely due to a scratch down that side of the car. - Needs front tires - Rear brakes squeak/rumble a little - Numerous dings and scratches - AC sweats when running (small water puddle on drivers floor) - Runs fantastic but at idle it has a little sputter (likely just a tune up) - Interior could use a good cleaning - Clock and central locking fuse is out b/c it drains the battery (looks like there is a wire in the hatch hinge that broke - I suspect that it has something to do with that) It was just inspected in MA So it's good for another year (good until the end of August 2015). The garage that inspected it mentioned that a good percentage of these cars fail because of the rust/rot on the rear suspension - he said this car was in excellent shape in that regard. Passed the inspection just fine. Anyway, it's either sell it or store it. I don't want to waste anyone's time - if you are looking for a perfect one - this is not it. If you are looking for one that has low miles and a 5-speed and will probably run another 200K that needs some work while you drive it - this may be it. Sold as-is where-is. Thanks! |

Volvo considering offering V60 wagon in the US
Tue, 12 Mar 2013For the 2014 model year, the Volvo product line is shrinking to just five models in the United States: the S60, S80, XC60, XC70 and XC90. This comes following the death of the C30 hatchback and C70 convertible, which are being discontinued after the 2013 model year. The S40 sedan and V50 wagon were axed two years ago, as was the larger V70.
That may not be the case, however. According to Automotive News, Volvo is rethinking its decision to not sell the V60 wagon, pictured, in the United States. The automaker had originally decided to not offer the V60 in our market due to declining American wagon sales. A decision is expected to be made sometime in the next quarter, and if approved, sales of the V60 could begin in the US within the next year.
At the Geneva Motor Show last week, Volvo showed off refreshed versions of nearly every vehicle in its lineup. In the US, these will be the only changes coming to the Volvo brand over the next two years. The next big product launch in the States will be the all-new XC90 crossover, developed under new parent company Geely. The range-topping SUV will ride on the company's new flexible SPA platform, which will also underpin the next-generation versions of the S60, S80 and XC60.
2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E
Wed, 23 Apr 2014For those not paying attention, Volvo has updated its S60 sedan range for 2015 with a new range of engines under the Drive-E label. Wearing the same T5 and T6 badges to note the relative levels of power under the hood, both engines are 2.0-liter four-cylinders, with the lesser being turbocharged and the greater being both supercharged and turbocharged.
Both Drive-E variants are currently only available in front-wheel-drive flavor, though Volvo will still happily sell you an S60 T5 AWD with the older 2.5-liter turbo five-cylinder, or a top-of-the-line S60 T6 with a turbo'd 3.0-liter six-cylinder and all the wheels turning.
The car I drove for a week is perhaps the most balanced version of the S60 range, with that exotic sounding twin-charged 2.0-liter mill planted happily in the attractively sloping nose. Provided you're not hung up on front-drive dynamics, the T6 Drive-E might be a solid candidate for your next premium small sedan shopping list, as well.
Ford F-Series Super Duty earns Truck of Texas award
Wed, Oct 12 2016Texans love their pickup trucks, which you already knew. That means the Texas Auto Writers Association and its "Truck of Texas" award is a big deal. And the latest trophy goes to the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The pickup truck managed to snag TAWA's award at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. The award marks the 13th time Ford's F-Series has been named the pickup king of the Lone Star State. Roughly 70 journalists converged outside at the Longhorn River Ranch, just outside of Austin, TX, for the 23rd annual Texas Truck Rodeo where a host of Ford's vehicles won awards. In addition to the F-Series Super Duty being named the "Truck of Texas," the 2017 Ford Super Duty won the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck award, while the 2017 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine won the Best Powertrain award. The journalists also awarded Ford for having the "Truck Line of Texas." Ford wasn't the only winner at the Texas Truck Rodeo, as Nissan brought home five awards, including one for the 2017 Titan in the fullsize pickup category and one for the Armada in the SUV segment. Ram also won a few accolades with its trucks. The 2017 Ram 1500 won for being the most luxurious pickup truck, while the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon won the off-road pickup truck award. Last year, TAWA named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the Truck of Texas, but Ford's all-new F-Series Super Duty managed to keep the Japanese automaker's full-size offering at bay. For the 2017 model, Ford placed aluminum body panels into the F-Series Super Duty's body, which not only shed weight, but also make the truck stronger.
