Japan Used Volvo 240 for Sale

The Volvo 200 series was a range of executive cars manufactured by Volvo Cars from 1974 to 1993. Like the Volvo 140, it was designed by Jan Wilsgaard. It overlapped production of the Volvo 700 series introduced in 1982. As the Volvo 240 remained popular, only the 260 was displaced by the 700 series which Volvo marketed alongside the 240 for another decade. The 700 series was replaced a year before the 240 was discontinued. The Volvo 240 and 260 series was introduced in the autumn of 1974 and were initially available as six variations of the 240 Series (242L, 242DL, 242GT, 244DL, 244GL, 245L and 245DL) and two variations of the 260 Series (264DL and 264GL).

The 240 Series was available in sedan (with two or four doors) or station wagon, however, the 260 Series was available as a coupe, four-door sedan, or station wagon. Most 240s were equipped with Volvo's own red block, 2.0-2.3 litre four-cylinder engines. Both overhead valve and overhead cam versions of the red block engines were installed in 240s. V6 engines were also available, first in the 260-models, but also later in the GLE- and GLT-versions of 240. Known as the PRV family, they were developed in a three-way partnership among Volvo, Peugeot and Renault, 240 diesel models are powered by diesel engines purchased from Volkswagen. The transmission is 4-speed M45/M46 manual, 5-speed M47 manual, 3-speed BW35/BW55 automatic, 4-speed AW70/AW71 automatic available.
