I have my 1992 Volvo 240 Wagon up for Auction. Please feel free to ask any questions. There is a low reserve on the car and this car is worth every penny. Okay, a little about my Brick:
1992 Volvo 240 Wagon with just over 320,xxx miles on the odometer (yes, the odometer does work). Does not have any warning lights on the dash (yes, they work as well). Just Passed the Emissions PA Sticker Test, Good Til 4/15. I am a classic Volvo enthusiast and have taken meticulous care of my brick. It originally came with cloth seats in which the bottom cushions where really worn out, so I replaced the seats with tan leather seats from a 1990 240. Some of the Maintenance and work that has been on this car is: Normal Maintenance: Every 3 Months Changed Oil with Pennzoil Platinum, Check Flame Trap and Replace (if needed). Brake Pads Replaced Every 6 Months with PBR Brake Pads and new hardware from IpdUSA. This Spring: Replaced Hood Hinge and Alternator (Reconditioned Bosch). Last summer: Replaced Timing Belt, Head Gasket, Water Pump, Belts, K&N Air Filter, Spark Plugs, Distributor Cap/Rotor, Plug Wires and Drive shaft support bearing. Last Spring: Replaced Tires and redid front-end (Struts, Rear Shocks, Ball Joints, Inner/Outer Tie Rods, Driver Side A-Arm, Sway Bar End Links and Bushings - Polyurethane, and replaced all the other bushings as well but with rubber.) Also Got it Aligned. Last Winter: Replaced Catalytic Converter and O2 Sensor (Bosch OEM Fit). I have records from the previous owners as well, which included replacing the Transmission with a reconditioned transmission from a volvo 740 turbo, so it has a little more get up than a regular 240. Condition of the car: Engine - When I had the head off last summer, it did not have a single wear ring or mark. Engine Does NOT LEAK! Runs very smooth and has never let me down. It does need a new motor mount soon though. Transmission - Shifts very smooth and Natural. Has No Issues In Any Gear, Including Overdrive. Body - Paint is very glossy and shiny. No issues what-so-ever with peeling or overcoat issues. Saying that, there is some surface rust spots on the hood and tailgate. Nothing too major. Exhaust - Gaskets have all been replaced lately, cat was replaced last winter and IS VERY QUITE Tires - Over 85% of life left. Good to go! Brakes - About 50-60% life left in this set of pads. Lights - All Work, occasionally going over railroad tracks a bulb would get jarred lose, but that is the only issue I have had. Interior - Tan Leather Seats, Rear Facing 3rd Row of Seats In Back, Back Hatch Area is Tinted, Clean Extra's - Comes with spare tire and volvo tool bag...plus service records. Negatives: Will Need Motor Mount Eventually, Back Side Was Bumped Into By Semi Truck but I painted over it and it is good to go (See picture), Driver side door trim came off this winter but I still have it, Rear Window Wiper Does Not Work, Has Tape Player That Doesn't Work...Speakers Do Work Though. This car will get you from point A to B, and in style. Very Reliable and Extremely Safe for Families or Young Drivers (No Blind Spots in this Car!). The only reason why I am selling it is because I have 3 classic volvos and can only drive one. I would love this to go another Volvo-Crazy Family. I have a Buy-It Now for $2500 (It is worth every penny of that price) also have a low reserve. I am not a dealer, therefore I will not place a warranty on this car. I can say that it is driven on a daily basis and does not let me down. Thanks! On Apr-17-14 at 06:17:10 PDT, seller added the following information: I have my 1992 Volvo 240 Wagon up for Auction.

Volvo studying test of electric roads in Sweden
Tue, 27 May 2014Volvo already announced the results of a study of wireless charging using a stationary C30, and now it's embarking on a more ambitious study of wireless charging involving moving city buses. Next year, in conjunction with the Swedish Transport Association, Volvo will build a section of electric road up to 500 meters long that would use inductive charging to refill the batteries while the bus drives over it.
Right now, the company's Hyper Bus diesel hybrid has to stop to plug in and charge at the end of its route. The company is looking for a way to keep buses in service while being able to run on electric power for greater lengths of time. The new line used for the study will be called ElectriCity, and will come online in central Gothenburg sometime in 2015. There's a press release below with more information.
Volvo developing new three-cylinder engine family
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Pop the hood on a Volvo of recent vintage and you'll find four-, five-, six- and even eight-cylinder engines. But the Swedish automaker is downsizing its engines over the coming years. The new XC90, set to be revealed later this week, will use a new family of four-cylinder engines (like the one pictured above). But that's not even the end of it as emerging reports speak of a new three-cylinder engine family in the works.
The new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine will, according to reports, help Volvo further cut its carbon emissions in line with constricting regulations in markets like Europe and Australia. There won't be quite as many versions as the four-cylinder range, which will include gasoline and diesel versions in varying states of tune, but the three-pot motor is tipped to be employed in vehicles as large as the S60 and its stablemates. Larger than that, however, and the three-cylinder engine apparently just doesn't have the necessary torque.
Expect the new three-cylinder engine to be introduced sometime later this decade, after the four-cylinder's introduction in 2016. The three-cylinder engine is also set to form the building block of an even more efficient hybrid propulsion system in the future, enabling this new engine family to stay relevant through 2025.
Volvo to finally replace XC90 in 2014
Wed, 16 Jan 2013There's not a whole lot of life left in the current Volvo XC90, but it seems a replacement is on the way. According to What Car?, Volvo will launch its new flagship crossover sometime in 2014, riding on an all new platform that will eventually underpin several models in the company's range.
According to Volvo boss Hakan Samuelsson, this new architecture will eventually underpin the next-generation S60, V70, S80 and XC60, all of which will be getting mid-cycle enhancements over the next year. In speaking to What Car?, Samuelsson said that Volvo would not try to follow the paths set by BMW and Mercedes-Benz, instead focusing on "safety, elegant design and user-friendly functionality" for its next round of new cars.
The new XC90 will remain a seven-passenger vehicle and will be powered by a range of four-cylinder engines. Volvo will soon be dropping the five- and six-cylinder powertrains from its lineup.
