After seeing the interest that car garnered from those holding a similarly strong affinity for these Volvo wagons, I have decided to find a new home for this one, too. This 240 was parental owned and then given to their two granddaughters. The third has now declared that given her academic proficiency, (achievements that she quickly points out exceeded that of both of her sisters) that she is deserving of a new S40. She has presented a lucid & thorough arguement. These Volvo 240's are considered by some to be among the best Volvos ever made. They are extremely safe & reliable. This car is no exception, it has been purposeful, always faithful and served us well. Go to this link: http://www.kiplinger.com/slideshow/cars_that_wont_die/5.html Therein you will find Kiplingers list of the "Cars That Won't Die", respectfully at the number 5 slot on that list is the venerable Volvo 240 Wagon (...'nuff said) At 20 years of age, the Volvo is still in remarkably good & sound condition. This is attributed to the care it always received regardless of which family member was steward, at the time. The 240 looks, runs and drives well. It is an ideal student or secondary car with many miles still to go...the 2.3 cylinder provides upwards of 30 mpg. The only aesthetic drawback(s) are as follows: the clearcoat on the hood and roof has flaked in spots, it is a light blue/silver metallic paint. It did not hold up nearly as well as the "appliance" white paint did on the 1989. The rest of the vehicle paint still shows a nice finish. There is a small dent on the driver door, difficult to see in the photo. The right rear tail light lens has a crack, a new one and small piece of trim for over the passenger side front directional have been ordered and will be installed prior to the sale. I have honestly and accurately represented the Volvo. I am not a dealer and as stated, this is one of my personal family vehicles. The title is clean, clear and issued in my name. I have had good success on eBay when selling vehicles from my personal collection. Those that have purchased my vehicles have consistantly had their expectations exceeded. My eBay customer satisfaction rating is 100%. The key to a successful eBay experience for both parties is effective communication. You are bidding to buy the Volvo, not to be the first to "look at it". Inspections are welcome, and will be facilitated to the best of my ability prior to the auction concluding. A $500.00 initial payment is due & payable within 24 hours of auction close VIA PayPal. The balance is then due and payable within 7 days thereafter under condition and arrangement made between myself and the buyer. I will accept PayPal for the total amount ONLY if the buyer pays the PayPal fees. I understand that no one is born with feedback, however, if you are new to eBay, have zero or negative feedback, you will need to CALL ME directly PRIOR to placing your bid, otherwise, it will be cancelled. I prefer a legitimate bank to bank wire transfer. It provides a documented record of the transaction for both parties. Transportation and delivery are the sole responsibility of the buyer. I will assist in coordinating with your chosen shipper. I can also recommend a reputable carrier. Trailered delivery is possible in the lower 48 states for $1000.00. (non-negotiable) If you choose to fly in and drive home, I will gladly pick you up from the South West Florida Regional Airport in Ft. Myers, Florida. This is a true "no reserve" auction. Essentially, $19.92 is what it will take to get it started. Bid what you can afford and are willing to pay. If you wish to discuss or present a "buy it now" offer, call me directly on my mobile phone to do so. Feel free to also call with any questions, I answer my phone quicker than I respond to email. If you do not reach me on your initial attempt, I appreciate your patience for in addition to the day to day controlled chaos, holiday preparations are being addressed...I assure you that I will return your call at my earliest opportunity. I have selected photos that best present a concise overview of the car. If you would like any area specific pictures, simply request them. Buyers from the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence. Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid. Jeff 719.492.1234, C 239.549.9908, H
