This is one of the last 1600 Volvo 240's ever made - special edition, and I am the original owner. Title free and clear. No reserve!

AS IS!  Well, it WAS running when I parked it in our driveway two or so years ago, but it no longer runs (no big surprise), and the tires are flat. I stopped driving it because I just couldn't afford to bring her up to snuff for inspection.  I'm hoping that there is a Volvo enthusiast out there who would be willing to give her some TLC, and bring this very special last of 1600 classic back to her former glory. 

I know nothing about cars, but will run through what I do know about this one:
- the odometer stopped working 149K
- there is a small dent right above the right front passenger light (as you can see in the photos)
- carfax erroneously has a report of an accident in 2006 claiming damage to the right side involving a guardrail and another car - NEVER HAPPENED! Absolutely no damage to the right side at all. Here is what did happen (which carfax doesn't show!): in December of 1997, my husband hit another car at a right turn on red stop light wherein he thought the car in front of him had started to turn, but it hadn't, so he hit the rear of the car at low speed. It caused cosmetic damage to the hood, grill and bumper all of which was repaired for $725 (I have the original estimate). You can actually see where the repair took place because the older paint has faded, but the repair paint has not. Absolutely no structural damage. 
- the right rear passenger side light needs to be replaced
- the right rear driver side light has a small crack
- the front lights are really cloudy ( don't know if that was always like that - just an observation)
- the stripping on one window in coming loose
- the glove box lock is broken, and we used duck tape to hold it in place
- some of the stripping along the exterior sides has come off, but the pieces are in the car
- there is a plastic piece in the boot, but I don't know what it's from - some where under the car
- normal wear of interior and exterior associated with a 21 year old car
- in 1998 we moved to a county that does not require emissions inspection, so I don't know about that, but since it's a classic (I terms of age not last year made), that may not matter

Oh, and the cassette player doesn't work (for those of you that have that ginormous cassette collection).  My daughter, now a senior at VT, put pennies or bologna in it - I can't remember which honestly (it was one of the two), but it hasn't worked in years - so how did she manage to get into VT?  Just saying.  

That is everything that I could see upon a visual inspection.  

I do have all the original books, etc., but the owners manual got wet. I also have a lot of the original repair/work receipts - not all I'm sure, but a lot of them.  It seems to me I replaced a heck of a lot of tires!

I will try to answer any questions, but like I said, I can only answer to my seriously limited knowledge of cars. 

Look within a few hours, I have many watchers, AND QUESTIONS. You could cannibalize this car for over a thousand AT LEAST.  As a limited edition, it has the original wood trim on the interior and super whatever hubcaps. Just updating.

Volvo dealers pushing for V40 in America [w/poll]

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Not too long ago, Volvo effectively replaced three models with one. Those were the C30, S40 and V50, and their replacement came in the form of the V40. While its predecessors were available (at some point, anyway) in North America, the V40 isn't. And that's something that Volvo's players in the US would like to change.
According to Automotive News, both Volvo Cars of North America and its dealers are pressing the factory to reverse its decision and prepare the V40 for an American assault on the likes of the Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3. It's a game they won before with the current V60, which hasn't been available here, but is set to make the transatlantic voyage come the start of the new year.
This time, though, Volvo Cars of North America may have a bigger fight on its hands, because the V40 wasn't designed to meet US regulations. Getting it up to spec, then, may be a bigger challenge than it's worth. But if the American importer and dealer network makes its voice heard, the V40's replacement could be designed with US regulations in mind.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]

Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show

Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines

Sat, 23 Feb 2013


It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.
