Clean Volvo 242 on 2040-cars
Troutdale, Oregon, United States
|
Up for sale is my 242. Ive owned this car for about 4 years and I'm about ready to move on to another car. Over the 4 years, I've done a ton of maintenance and service, as well as a few upgrades. These include: timing belt and v belts with all new oem seals, new water pump, alternator and voltage regulator, completly rebuilt wiring harness, clutch, practically every fuel injection component has been replaced, all tune up parts, everything. The motor runs great and the transmission shifts smooth. The car handles very well, and the suspension has been upgraded with coil overs, poly bushings, ipd adjustable torque rods and panard rod, and the little stuff like ball joints and tie rod ends have been replaced. For wheels, it has Eiker e1's in 17x7.5 in good shape with no curbing with brand new tires in 215/45/17 with warrantees. The interior is in very good shape as well, its blue cloth and vinyl trim and its all intact. The stereo is in the lower position by the shifter, and it has vdo vision gauges in the upper spot by the gauge cluster. Everything works as it should and the car drives well. I get compliments on it all the time and it's even won a couple awards. 242's are getting hard to find in this good of shape. Im pretty firm on the price. $6500 With wheels $5500 without thanks for looking! Willing to take some parts off to negotiate price any questions just message me |

Volvo bringing Chinese-built cars to America beginning next year
Wed, 18 Jun 2014Just because the penetration of the American automotive market by Chinese brands hasn't quite happened yet doesn't mean that Chinese-built cars are far off. According to a new report, we could very soon see long-wheelbase Volvo S60s that were assembled in the People's Republic arriving on US shores.
The report comes from Automotive News China, which cites an anonymous Volvo exec. An official Volvo spokesperson later corroborated ANC's report, although where the original source claimed that we could see the Chinese-built S60L in US dealers at some point in 2015, the company line was that a timeline hadn't been established to begin exports from the world's most populous nation.
According to Volvo, the benefit to exporting from China to the United States rather than from Sweden is the relationship between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan. Overall, it's a less tumultuous issue than the dollar-to-euro situation. By moving vehicles from China to the US, the Chinese-owned company is limiting the degree of risk it's taking with sudden currency swings.
2015.5 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar [w/video]
Thu, 01 May 2014Polestar Performance has been around since 1996, but until recently, it only did two things: manage Volvo motorsports operations and run a specialist consumer-facing side that built concept cars and boosted Volvo's turbocharged production cars by 15 to 60 horsepower. Five years ago, it fulfilled its long-held desire to engineer an actual production car, first creating the C30 Polestar Performance Concept, a showcar that led to the C30 Polestar Limited Edition.
That foray led to the berserker, 508-horsepower 2013 S60 Polestar Concept that Auto Motor und Sport called "a hard slap in the face to the Germans," and that model led to the limited-edition S60 Polestar production car just for Australia, a car reviewers swooned for, with one comparing its chassis finesse to the Ferrari 458 Italia.
All of which is to say, Polestar has a good start for a motorsports and tuning company to make good on its production car dreams. The 2015 Volvo S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar keep that momentum going, and beautifully at that.
Watch this video, then buy this 1993 Volvo wagon
Mon, 12 May 2014Do you want to be perceived as rich and cuddly? Of course you do. Then you need to buy this car.
We know it makes no sense, but that pretty much sums up our take on the video you'll see below, in which a man by the name of Christoffer Castor, from Scania County in Southern Sweden, attempts to convince any and all who watch to buy his car. The car in question is a 1993 Volvo 240 wagon, in red with a black fabric interior.
We have quite a bit of respect for the old boxy Volvo wagons here at Autoblog, and, despite the presence of some unsightly rust on the tailgate, would gladly bum about in this particular 240. We especially appreciate the five-speed manual gearbox and that it's from the car's final year in production.
