1995 Volvo 850 Turbo 2.3l *mechanics Special* on 2040-cars
Melbourne, Florida, United States

First the bad news: The car is currently NOT running. It was my daily driver until a heater hose blew out on the highway (heater core was bypassed) and overheated the engine and snapped the timing belt. The cylinder head is warped and the valves are most likely bent. The cylinder head needs to be replaced and or machined and rebuild.
Now for the good news. Other than the engine not running the car is in good cosmetic condition. Paint is fine with a few blemishes, there is a 3/4" x 1.5" area with rust bubbling up under the paint on the side of the roof (see photo). The windows, sunroof, radio, automatic transmission and other electrical components were working fine when the car overheated. The air conditioner did work, however it would only run on full blast, not sure why. The interior is in good shape considering its a '95. The leather seats are worn, however there are no major holes in them, just normal expected wear and tear. With a new cylinder head this would make a great safe and reasonably fuel efficient (21-23mpg) daily driver. I was planning on driving this 850 for many more years, over 300,000 miles, unfortunately, the blown heater hose prevented that. Would also make a good parts car...lots of good parts on this one. 4 speed automatic transmission with sport mode, power sunroof, power windows, tinted windows, 15" alloy wheels, tilt wheel, cruise control, power driver seat, front and side air bags. New front & rear brake pads 900 miles ago, recently replaced motor mount. Keep in mind this car is not running and you will need a trailer to haul it away. I can deliver it to a location in Melbourne, FL & NW or NE Palm Bay, FL for an additional $75. I'm not able to deliver very far from 32901, if you are slightly further out we can discuss a delivery price. Full payment (car and delivery) must be made before delivery. |

Volvo shows glimpses of new Concept C Coupe ahead of Frankfurt [w/video]
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Volvo has released a short teaser video for a concept car that will be unveiled on August 29 ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show. At first glance, it would appear to be nothing more than a few sketches and some words from Volvo design boss Thomas Ingenlath, but at about the 11-second mark, four images are flashed on the screen revealing the true nature of the video - the Volvo Concept C Coupe.
As Inglenlath suggests in the video, this new concept is designed to help bring more excitement to the brand's lineup, and from what we can tell in these strategically captured shots, the company is definitely on to something. While we don't get too much of look from any one angle, the front reveals what appears to be a concave version of Volvo's signature grille and the side shows off a stylish greenhouse. We have to wonder, do these images confirm the identity of the mystery concept car that's been floating around the Internet this week? In either case, our favorite view is perhaps the rear shot giving us a glimpse of the car's name as well as its flat, wide haunches and C-shaped taillights.
Scroll down to watch the whole video, and if you don't have a trigger-quick mouse finger, don't worry. We made a gallery of screen shots showing the four embedded images.
Volvo brings a whole new 2014 showroom for Geneva's approval
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Sometimes it takes smaller automakers a bit longer than the industry average to rotate and freshen their product lineups. Volvo has taken a big swing for the 2014 model year in that regard, and has brought along a full product portfolio of new cars.
In the main, this means that the Swedish brand has fast-tracked facelifts for its already-attractive assemblage of sedans, wagons and crossovers. Volvo mainstays S60 and S80 have both gotten appearance modifications to freshen them for dealer lots, as well as added features inside the car. We're particularly happy to report that the spirited "60 cluster" models - S60, V60, XC60 - can now be had with optional paddle shifters on new, three-spoke steering wheels.
Below you'll find a whole bunch of image galleries of the revised Volvos, live and in person from the show floor in Geneva. For a bit more background on the Volvo updates, feel free to read our original announcement of the news or scroll down to catch the press release.
Volvo recommits to Sweden with development of next-gen platform and engines
Tue, 04 Dec 2012Taking into account the facts that Volvo is now owned by China's Geely and how poorly the European automotive market has been recently, we would have definitely understood if Volvo moved production of its products out of its home market. And yet, the automaker has confirmed that it will be investing billions of dollars into new platforms and engines that will be made in Sweden. On a global scale, Volvo is making roughly $11 billion of investments, and close to half of that is being earmarked for Sweden for plant expansion and upgrades.
The new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform will be the used as the basis for most future Volvo products starting with the next-generation XC90 that will be debuting at the end of 2014. SPA will be used to make up two-thirds of Volvo's sales, and gives Volvo a quicker and easier break from Ford-derived platforms. As for the Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) family of engines, there are really no details about this mill except that it will be a four-cylinder that is more fuel efficient than current engines.
