1991 Volvo 740 Base Wagon 4-door 2.3l Daily Driver-lots Of New Parts-runs Great on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
I bought this car last week after selling my 4x4. Although it has plenty of room, runs great and is in great condition, I am not used to sitting down so low! So I am listing it for sale and probably going to buy something that sits up a bit higher!
Runs good, looks good. This is NOT a turbo so it gets good gas mileage. I am including a TomTom GPS because the speedometer does not work and the TomTom shows your speed. Has a nice sound system and speakers with CD player. All leather interior - feels like you are sitting on the couch at home when driving - it is SOOO COMFY! The former owner recently had lots of upkeep and maintenance done to it such as new brakes, new tires, new timing belt, new battery, oil change, tune up, exhaust work. This is from what he told me last week and what he had posted in his ad. It has a newer muffler which sounds like a subaru. I require a $100 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT through PayPay within 24 hours of auction closing. Then I require the balance IN CASH when we meet IN PERSON to deliver the car to you. I am in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I will make a reasonable effort to deliver the car nearby. For example, if you are in Denver and have transportation difficulties, I may deliver it to you and take a bus home BUT this is entirely up to my discretion and work schedule. Most likely, you will need to take a bus to me and drive it home. Everything works and is good on this car except the specifics that are mentioned below: Windshield has crack & will need to be replaced, rear driver side taillight is cracked, small dent next to driver side headlight, scratch on driver side door near bottom. Speedometer & gas gauge do not work - BUT I am including a TomTom GPS which shows your MPH. (Mechanic has suggested that ground wire may be off in dash) A/C may need charge. Sunroof works but needs new seal - has tape sealing it now. I have included photos specifically of these issues. There are no guarantees whatsoever on this car as I have only had it for one week but the prior owner had maintained it well. |

New Volvo ad remembers the joy of rear-facing jump seats
Mon, 19 May 2014With the rise in popularity of first the minivan and later the crossover as the default family vehicle, there have been about 20 years of children who have missed out on the joy of rear-facing jump seats in station wagons. It means kids today don't know the pleasure to be found in making faces or lewd gestures at other drivers while their parents can't see. Plus, they don't know the slightly nauseous feeling of watching the world pass by in reverse. However, a group of filmmakers look back with nostalgia at this increasingly uncommon automotive feature in a new ad for the 2015 Volvo V60.
As part of its sponsorship of the National Film Festival for Talented Youth, Volvo commissions a team each year to create an advertisement to be shown during the festival. This year's shows how the company's buyers have gone from riding in the back to driving the brand's cars. Scroll down to check out the charming ad, along with some wistful looks at classic Volvo wagons, before the jump seat is forgotten.
Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.
Volvo updates Inscription packages for 2015 XC60, S80
Tue, 01 Apr 2014Volvo is improving the luxury offered by the XC60 and S80 with upgrades to both models' Inscription packages for 2015. It is also making all of its models (other than the soon-to-be-replaced XC90) available with its new Drive-E engine family and Sensus infotainment system.
The Inscription package was previously available on both the XC60 and S80, but new upgrades include Sovereign Hide leather throughout their interiors, including on their instrument panels, seatbacks, center armrests and headrests. Inscription also adds wood inlaid trim and new floor mats. On the outside, the package is offered in Crystal White Pearl, Electric Silver and - exclusively for the S80 - Ember Black. The XC60 comes with 20-inch, ten-spoke wheels, and the S80 receives 19-inch wheels of the same design.
As part of its sponsorship of a yacht race, Volvo is also bringing the XC60 Ocean Race Edition to the US. Buyers will get their choice of black or blonde leather seats with orange stitching, a map of the race route on the rear load cover and the event's logo around the car.
