- Volvo rear sunshade
- Volvo heavy duty floor trays
- New map pockets recently
- Hella Fog Lights mounted below the front bumper
- Tinted side and rear glass
- Car includes an alarm system with keyless remotes, but always seemed too sensitive, so we turned off the hidden kill switch. It's new buyer can switch it back on and mess with the sensitivity :)
- Also includes a hard-to-find Thule "rain gutter clamp style" rooftop Bike rack, with front wind break.
- Includes a really cool purple valve cover on the engine. Your mechanic will love it. :)
- We JUST replaced the battery. Texas weather is brutal on batteries. The old one let go last month.
- The driver seat grid and/or lower seat foam is failing. This is actually a VERY common issue on the 240's. The upholstery is fine, but the outside of the lower cushion is "leaning" a little because the cushion foam is dried out. There is a company called Wagonmeister dot com that has an excellent (better than OEM) fix for the cushion and grid issue.
- The A/C was working last summer, but has stopped working recently. All the fans blow, and the switch seems to work, but the compressor clutch doesn't seem to switch on. I'll have our mechanic look at it next week to determine the cause. If it's something stupid like a wire, relay or fuse - I will get it fixed. One of the lines going into the firewall is pinched (it's highlighted in one of the photos), but it was that way last year and still worked fine (abet slightly less than a perfectly working AC).
- The power window switches on the driver's door are working fine, but the driver's side window switch recently "dropped" a little in the array. It still works, but should probably be changed soon. I'm sure it's a cheap fix.
- The factory Volvo cruise control is not currently working, but this sale DOES include the part (new stalk/switches) to get it working again.
- There is a small crack in the dash, where the instrument "cover" meets the flat part of the dash. We've always has a dash cover on it (included) so didn't even notice the small crack until we photographed it for this sale. The rest of the interior is in remarkable condition of any car, much less a 200k survivor!

Volvo S60 Polestar Concept finally spotted in the flesh
Wed, 28 Nov 2012The Volvo S60 Polestar Concept has graced the pages of Autoblog numerous times in recent memory, but we've never actually seen it in person. That is, until now.
We caught up with the blazing blue sedan sitting on the floor of the LA Auto Show, and it looks even better up close. As a refresher, the four-door is fitted with a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine (3.0-liter) generating an impressive 508 horsepower. Its close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox sends power to all four wheels through a fourth-generation Haldex XWD system. With a decent driver behind the steering wheel, the Polestar can crack the 60 mph benchmark in about 3.7 seconds as it rushes towards a top speed in excess of 186 mph.
Volvo has said that this Polestar-modified S60 was built for a specific client who paid upwards of $300,000 for the pleasure of owning it. But as they say, if there is market demand for more...
Lotus could be sold to Chinese automaker Geely
Mon, Feb 20 2017Two things are constant throughout the history of Lotus Cars: amazing vehicles, and financial struggles. Frequent changes in both ownership and leadership have left the company's future up in the air. And while the new management has improved quality and set a new product plan in place, its seems that Lotus could have a new parent company soon. Despite comments to the contrary, Chinese automaker Geely is rumored to be interested in acquiring Lotus Cars. The British automaker has been owned by Proton since 1996, but after Proton was sold to DRB-Hicom in 2012 investors suggested selling off Lotus. The Star Online reports that PSA in France is rumored to be looking at purchasing Proton cars from DRB-Hicom. In turn, Geely, the parent company of Volvo, is interested in purchasing Lotus from Proton. The report states that Geely has no interest in mass-market vehicles from Proton, while crossover-focus PSA, owner of Peugeot and Citroen, has no interest in a sports car manufacturer like Lotus. China has been encouraging its native automakers to purchase and acquire technology it lacks. Buying Lotus looks like it would benefit both companies. Lotus needs an influx of cash while Geely, looking to compete further on the global stage, would gain a great deal of technical and engineering knowledge from Lotus. Geely's stewardship of Volvo has been mostly hands-off, while giving the Swedish company enough money to invest in new platforms and technologies. If the same were to happen to Lotus, Colin Chapman's company could have its best years ahead of it.

Irv Gordon's Volvo P1800 has reached 3 million miles
Wed, 18 Sep 2013While we were seated at our desks like good worker bees yesterday, Irv Gordon was continuing his assault on the record books. Gordon, if you recall, is the original owner of a red 1966 Volvo P1800 (owner and car shown above), and yesterday, Volvo says the coupe's odometer clocked its three-millionth mile. The miracle mile occurred on the Seward Highway in Alaska, one of only two states that Gordon had never visited.
It took the New York native more than 20 years to hit his first million miles in 1987 and another 15 years to achieve two million miles in 2002, but a road trip to Alaska will further cement his place in the record books as the car surpasses three million miles. Gordon has almost doubled the 1.69-million mile distance that helped him win a Guinness Book of World Records title for the most miles logged on an originally owned car, and this new momentous distance proves the durability of both man and machine. For more information on Gordon's feat, scroll down for a Volvo press release or check out a website set up to celebrate his latest milestone.
