1990 Texas Volvo 240 Dl Wagon 4-door 2.3l Manual Transmission on 2040-cars
Carrollton, Texas, United States
|
This wagon is a rare find. Originally purchased in California, and driven to Austin, TX to spend the majority of it's life with one owner. It appears to have original paint. The Texas sun doesn't allow for that unless it was always stored in a garage.
The exterior has plenty of shine left. Of course, it is Texas rust free! The interior is the very dark Grey/Blue plush cloth that almost appears black in color. In the pictures I hadn't even vacuumed or cleaned it yet. There are no rips or tears and far less then average wear. The dash has several cracks that can be fixed, or replaced. The drivers seat has many adjustments and is literally as comfortable as my couch. The engine starts with the twist of the key, it burns no oil, has a lot of new parts, and pulls with full power through all the gears. The transmission is smooth. The clutch is strong. It has (4) nearly new Michelin tires. Brakes don't make any noise and stop the car exactly as they should. I would put my grandmother in this car and let her drive cross country.) Did I mention the A/C blows ICE COLD!! The new sony deck with mp3 player plug in sounds great! All the electronics work! Once you drive it you will not believe it has 277k on it! It goes to show you, a properly maintained and driven volvo 240 is far better than a 100k mile 240 that has been ignored. These cars are meant to be driven and maintained. You will not be dissapointed. The only fault with the interior is the spare tire cover in the back. Like most of them, it has rotted out and been replaced with a new plywood template. It just needs to be covered with the matching blue carpet. (or leave it as is). Driven sensibly, 30 mpg should be easily within reach. This was last used as a commuter car for that reason. It cruises the TX highways at 75 mph with ease and comfort. This is a 24 year old car, it is an exceptional example of a classic volvo 240 wagon. It is sold with love but no express or implied warranty of any kind. The car is sold as is, ready to drive home or be shipped anywhere in the country. I am available to help you secure shipping if this is your first time. Thanks for looking! |

These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
Volvo launches XC90 configurator site
Tue, 18 Nov 2014In many ways the 2016 Volvo XC90 defines the future of the Swedish brand. The SUV is the introduction of the company's Scalable Product Architecture modular platform that should underpin most of its future models. It's also the first big chance to see whether consumers accept a model like this that's only available with four-cylinder power, granted a mill that is both turbocharged and supercharged. The configurator for this Swedish hopeful is just hitting the Web giving customers a chance to see what they think.
The only available powertrain on the XC90 at the moment is the 2.0-liter Drive-E with 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The base price starts at $48,900, plus $925 for destination, but that number can balloon quite quickly. Upgrading to the R-Design package tacks on $4,000 or the even plusher Inscription package adds $5,600.
Furthermore, there are several option packages to add some extra tech and comfort to the SUV. The Vision Package with a backup cam is an extra $1,600, two versions of the Climate package to keep occupants warm come to $1,050 and $1,950, respectively, and the Convenience Package that includes adaptive cruise control adds $2,000. Depending on trim, there are up to 13 colors available in an attractive variety, although all but two add $550 to the price. There are also a wide variety of leather upholsteries to choose from.
Volvo XC90 prototype spied for the first time ever
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Despite its advanced age, the Volvo XC90 remains a highly competent luxury SUV. The design has aged nicely, and it's clear from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety naming the big Volvo a Top Safety Pick + that the safety-minded Swedes behind it knew what they were doing. Still, even the finest cars need replacing, especially after nearly 12 years on sale.
Here we have the first spy shots of the next-generation XC90, under development somewhere cold (at this rate, it could be anywhere from Arvidsjaur to Atlanta). Now, as our spy photogs point out, this is the real deal, judging by all that camo over the vehicle. There's a production body under there, rather than this being a mule with the old vehicle's skin on top of it.
It's difficult to make out much because of all the camo, although there are some similarities to both the Concept XC Coupe from the Detroit Auto Show and a batch of teaser images we showed you earlier this year. We can see the greenhouse retains a shape similar to the current XC90, although the beltline climbs rather aggressively once past the C pillar, much like it does on the Concept XC Coupe. In back, Volvo has eschewed tall, vertical lights in favor of more conventional units, which we expect to be similar to what we saw in the teaser images. We'd bargain that there will be a traditional rectangular grille, like what you can see on the concept. The headlights, meanwhile, should wear T-shaped LED elements, like the teaser images.
