This 1989 Volvo 240 is finished in Wine Red over gray cloth and features a fuel-injected 2.3L inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The seller reportedly purchased the car in 2019 from a BMW technician in Salem, Oregon, who is said to have owned the car for 10 years. A timing belt change was reportedly performed 15k miles ago, and additions include Virgo alloy wheels, an updated stereo, and sway and strut tower bars from IPD. This 240 shows 256k miles and is now offered with spare wheels, factory literature, and a clean Oregon title in the seller’s name.
This DL is finished in Wine Red, and no accidents or damage are noted on the accompanying Carfax report. Paint fade is visible on the roof, and other imperfections are detailed in the gallery.
Rolling stock consists of 15″ alloys with Volvo center caps and 205/60 Yokohama tires. Four snow tires mounted on steel wheels with plastic Volvo turbine covers are included in the sale. Drilled and vented brake rotors are visible behind the Virgo spokes.
The interior is upholstered in dark gray fabric, with wear evident on the driver’s seatback and outer bolster. Corrosion is noted in the driver’s door jamb, and additional rubber floor mats are included.
Approximately 256k miles are shown on the six-digit odometer, 1k of which were added by the seller. The temperature gauge does not register accurately. Cracks are visible in the dash, and a Sony radio is installed in place of the stock unit.
Power is from a 2.3-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed M47 manual transmission. The previous owner reportedly replaced the timing belt and serviced the transmission at approximately 240k miles. An oil change was performed prior to the seller’s purchase. The seller notes audible piston slap when the car is cold.
Suspension modifications are said to consist of an IPD rear sway bar as well as a front strut tower reinforcement bar. Additional underside images are provided in the gallery.
The seller is including a shop service manual, owner’s manuals, and period promotional materials.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and reports registration in Oregon back to 9k miles in 1991. Entries in January and March 2019 show higher mileage readings than the seller’s August 2019 photos. A walk-around video is presented below:
