1989 Volvo Dl 245 Wagon on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
|
This is the 240 wagon you have been waiting to buy...this is probably one of the best looked after and cared for available today.
Up for auction is our beloved and extremely well-sorted 1989 Volvo 240 wagon (a.k.a The Brick). We have owned this fantastic car for the past 17 years, and are only the second owners. The car is even better in person than the pictures. We have all service receipts and documentation that you would expect for a car of this quality. We have documented receipts of over $1300 in the past year with the following parts replaced:
Many upgrades are also included:
Outside of the typical driver seat stitching that separated at the seams, the interior is nearly perfect given the car is 25 years old. The carpets are not faded and in excellent condition. The headliner is intact and unblemished. Small details like visor clips and glove box door all operate as new. In short, if you are looking for the best example with the history and documentation, then bid on it knowing the owners have a 100% rating on eBay. The car has virtually no rust, only two very small spots that are barely visible at the rear wiper and the luggage rack. Both areas are documented in pictures and smaller than a house key in width. The car has never been wrecked, there is no bondo or filler anywhere. Purchased in Kansas and a Texas car the past 17 years, it has many years of life ahead for the new owner. Please feel free to inspect the car in person or arrange for a pre-purchase inspection at your expense. The car is being sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Thank you for looking and hope the winning bid goes to a home that will take the same great care that we have! Good luck... |

Volvos will brake for bicyclists with new detection technology
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Anyone who pedals a bicycle knows that one of the biggest dangers to riders is a motorized vehicle - Volvo estimates that nearly 50 percent of all cyclists killed in European traffic have collided with a car. In the United States alone, 618 riders lost their lives in bicycle/motor vehicle crashes in 2010, and the number of injuries surpassed 52,000.
To help drop those numbers, Volvo has just announced Cyclist Detection with full auto brake - a technology that detects and automatically applies a vehicle's brakes when a cyclist swerves in front of a moving car. The basic components of the system include a radar unit integrated into the front grille, a camera fitted in front of the interior rear-view mirror and a central control unit. The radar is tasked with seeing obstacles in front of the vehicle and calculating distance, while the camera is responsible to determine what the object is. The central control unit, with rapid processing capabilities, monitors and evaluates the situation.
The technology, which will be sold bundled with its Pedestrian Detection and called Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection, will automatically apply full braking when both the radar and camera confirm a pedestrian or cyclist are in the immediate path of the vehicle. According to the automaker, the technology will be offered on the Volvo V40, S60, V60, XC60, V70, XC70 and S80 models from mid-May in 2013.
Volvo XC90 R-Design adds a dash of sport
Thu, 18 Sep 2014The 2015 Volvo XC90 is a huge leap forward for the Swedish automaker as its first all-new model since leaving Ford ownership. There's a lot riding on the crossover's success, too, because its platform is supposed to underpin Volvo vehicles for years to come. The latest move for the new CUV is adding a little aggressiveness to the look with the R-Design trim for buyers desiring a sportier-looking Swede.
The R-Design joins the already announced Momentum and Inscription trims. Mechanically it doesn't change anything, but ticking the box for the R-Design adds a slightly different grille with horizontal slats, a redesigned lower air dam, new window trim, matte silver side-mirror covers and rectangular exhaust nestled in an altered lower rear bumper. The sportier XC90 comes standard with 20-inch wheels, but a 22-inch design is optional, as well.
The meaner look is carried inside with sport seats covered in Nubuck and Nappa leather, a perforated leather steering wheel and R-Design trim for the gearshift, pedals, floor mats and illuminated tread plates. The touchscreen infotainment system also gets an R-Design theme.
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.
