Vehicle Detail

Born to Run A Jersey Classic Here is a '93 Volvo 240 Classic Wagon for sale. 5 Speed Manual 2.3L 4 cyl Bulletproof B230F. PS, PB, PW, & A/C blows cold. This is the final production year for The Brick and has the most refinement including airbag and anti lock brakes. This car has been well cared for and everything works as it should on this car. Odometer, blower motor, seat heats, power mirrors and defrosters, rear wiper, cruise control, etc. If you'd like to learn more about the Classic Editions, check out The Volvo Club of America at VSAdotOrg This one is #1324 of the final 1600 produced. According to the official Volvo 240 Classic Registry, there are very few known 5 speed manual Classics still in existence. I've been trying to confirm with the VCOA the exact number of 5 speeds made but the 1993 production numbers are frustratingly elusive. But it is safe to say a stick Classic wagons are very, very rare. I was told by a VCOA member that this may be one of less than ten green Classic manual wagons still on the road today. Seriously. Mechanical 242,900 miles on a working odometer and running strong. Carfax shows this vehicle lived in a Southern state for most of it's life and it shows ZERO rust. None on the rockers, not the panels, drip guards, tail gate, underneath, wheel wells, leading edges or anywhere. Carfax also shows the odometer was broken & repaired at a very young age and assumed accurate ever since. NO mechanical issues at all here. It purrs like a cat and the soft highway ride is very nice. The A/C blows normally with a strong heater blower motor as well. Working cruise control and no indicator or check engine lights on the dash panel row. There are NO oil or transmission leaks on this vehicle. I just spent $1000+ on a tune up for you, oil change, new flame trap, rear trans seal & bearings, both new motor mounts plus a new trans mount. The vehicle has also recently been thoroughly inspected by a highly qualified local Volvo technician. Clean bill of health. Within the last 35,000 miles this car has a new timing belt, new mass air flow sensor, new fuel pump, new thermostat, plus the recent seals, oil change and tune up. It recently passed tough NJ emissions & inspection with no problems. I have never had an ounce of worry about driving this car long distances. It's made to gobble up highway miles. Interior Overall the inside is in very good to excellent shape with just 1 small dashboard crack. The recently replaced tan cloth seats (front & rear) are in very good condition. The center console was recently replaced including 2 brand new OEM heater switches & mirror controls. Everything looks brand new & functions as it should. In the rear, the pull-over leather cargo area cover is included and completely functional. Headliner is in decent shape but has 2 very small holes over the rear doors (where an old clothes rack might've gone across?). Rear seats fold down nicely for a huge storage area. More than almost every SUV! Exterior There is some average wear on this vehicle. A few very minor dings and small scratches abound but no clear coat paint fading at all. It was obviously garaged for many years. But only the roof rack shows some paint fading. There is 1 scrape area confined to the left rear quarter panel area. I'm not an auto body guy but the panel looks completely savable. If not, I have a line on a brand new primered panel. It's minor damage. The custom 14" rims are in really good shape with minor rash & wear. They're mounted on 4 brand new (less than 2,000 miles) nitrogen filled all weather Michelin tires. It's a damn shame it's gotta go. The wife has absolutely had enough of my #@$% car projects. I'd like to stay married for now so this vehicle sadly must go. Very soon. To finish the 100% complete refurbishment of this Classic you will need to complete the final 3 steps: 1. Repair scrape on left rear quarter panel area. 2. Prep the few minor dings and paint. 3. Find the nearest classic car show. It's almost there. Just promise to send me some pictures when it's finished. I welcome you to come test drive it or bring your mechanic for inspection before auction end. I am completely reachable by email and glad to promptly answer any of your questions. Please remember this is a used car being sold AS IS and by bidding you are committing to purchasing this vehicle. No auction winning tire kickers or wire transfer games please. I hold the clear title in-hand and will not release it to you without complete payment confirmation. The car is located in Robbinsville, NJ 08691. Very easy to get to from anywhere. I'm close to I-95, Route 1, NJ Turnpike, Route 295 & 130. All are all less than 10 mins away. I can also pick you up at a train station. It's a short train ride from either NYC or Philly. Amtrak service stops in Trenton (10 mins away). NJ Transit trains stop at Hamilton Station (5 mins away) on the Northeast Corridor line. If you'd like to fly in, I can probably arrange my schedule to pick you up with notice. Both Newark & Philadelphia airports are equally 1 hour drive away. I will also offer to deliver this car for a non negotiable fee of $2.25/mile using the shortest route on Google maps. I'll figure out how to get back home. I will consider shipping this vehicle but all the shipping details and arrangements are completely at your time and expense. Please, I cannot store this vehicle for more than 7 days after auction end. I have been as truthful as possible in all descriptions and pictures. Because I would expect the same from you. Please note this car is also advertised locally and on CL too. I reserve the absolute right to end this auction. I'll also listen to your reasonable offer. This car will guide you safely through the Badlands or just Drive All Night down Thunder Road. It will always get you back home safely. Thanks for viewing & Good Luck!

There is one single dime sized rust spot on this entire vehicle. One. It is just below the VIN sticker on the drivers door jamb. It can surely be corrected very easily. -J
