- TME Sport Springs (Car is lower than factory and looks fantastic)

- Optional Volvo headrest pads for all 4 seats
- 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 Polestar celebrates STCC title with Black R edition S60, V60 and XC60
Sat, 21 Dec 2013The relationship between Volvo and Polestar was forged - and forges deeper still - on the racetrack, where the latter fields the former's tin-top entries in the STCC, WTCC and V8 Supercars. And based on their success together in touring-car racing, Volvo has had Polestar amp up a number of its production road cars. What we have here is the latest.
This year Volvo and Polestar dominated the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship, taking both the drivers' and manufacturers' titles. So to celebrate, Polestar has rolled out a new Black R package for the S60 sedan, V60 wagon and XC60 crossover.
The package includes an upgrade to 329 horsepower for the T6 engine and to 230 hp for the D5, and further enhances with special wheels, a dropped suspension, special sport seats and more. Unfortunately the package is only being offered in Sweden, but you can scope out the details in the press release below and the photos in the gallery above.
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.
Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.
