1992 Volvo 240 Base Wagon - Excellent Example - No Rust - Mechanically Sorted on 2040-cars
Sacramento, California, United States
|
If you have been looking for the right 240 daily driver; this is it. Owned by a Volvo enthusiast: 1992 Volvo 240 Base Wagon. 162K miles. I looked for a long time for a great example and then did all the things to it that are needed to make these a dependable car for the second half of its life. This car has no rust, no cracks in the dash, clean title, good paint and it's been well cared for all its life. I hate to see this car go.
Not a repair but renewed because these are areas that 240s need attention: - suspension bushes in front. - crankcase oil breather box and plumbing - rear camshaft seal and IPD seal retainer kit - down pipe -- rest of exhaust was fine - rear shocks -- fronts fine - engine mounts - fuel filter and fuel pump - lambda sensor - hoses - belts - extra fuel pump relay - paint clayed, polished and sealed - The paint was in great shape to start with. This will make it last. - turn signal and brake light assemblies The following I did as a repair: - alternator - cam cover gasket Options on car: - fairly new OEM mud mats front, back and cargo - factory folding third row seat What the car needs now and in future as far as I can tell: - the battery is getting a little tired but is still tests good - power steering pump is also getting a little tired but not ready for replacement - radio antenna (full assembly) easy install and $63.40 from ipdusa.com - stereo speakers front and rear Defects: Door ding on driver's door. Scrape on back of front driver's side wheel well edge. See side image. Small tear on top of back seat. See image of cargo area. Various little things you find on a well cared for 22 year old car. Price is $6200. These go for $500 (junk but drives 300K+ miles) to $14,000 (perfect time machine <50K miles). It's hard to put value on these via blue book. I paid $5,500, after looking around a lot, and put about $3000 worth of work in it. These cars easily go 300K and I've taken care of the normal issues that may come up. This is my third Volvo wagon. The first two, I drove more than 300K miles and maintained them myself. Call me with any questions 530-598-9244.

Volvo S80 nip/tuck spotted in China
Sun, 16 Dec 2012An early look at the new face of the Volvo S80 has made its way to the web. The Chinese site Auto Sina spotted a revised version of the country's S80L out in public and in plain view. Not too long ago, Doug Speck, the global head of marketing and sales for Volvo, said designers were working on a mild facelift for the S60 and S80, and while it is possible the Swedish manufacturer will roll out a different front fascia for the US market, the move seems unlikely.
The S80L seen here boats a tweaked grille and a Passat-inspired lower valance. New wheels and side-view mirrors also appear to be part of the update, as does a modified rear bumper and exhaust outlets. Volvo is set to debut the facelifed S80 next year, and while the manufacturer hasn't delivered an exact time frame, good money is on the vehicle showing up at the Detroit Auto Show in January or the Geneva Motor Show in March. Stay tuned for more information.
Apple announces CarPlay in-car iPhone interface
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Apple, maker of tech items like the iPhone, iPad and Mac line of computers, is extending its reach into the automotive market, making a fairly big announcement ahead of the Geneva Motor Show. No, it hasn't bought Tesla (yet). Instead, Apple has announced CarPlay, an all-new means of controlling an iPhone through your car.
Now, this doesn't strike us as some gimmicky thing. It's become increasingly common for automakers to take advantage of the high-speed data streams its customers enjoy on their smartphones in order to integrate navigation, traffic, audio and other infotainment items into a car's touchscreen interface. The Chevrolet Spark and Sonic are two prime examples of this move, using an iPhone's data stream for Siri integration and data for a third-party navigation app.
Owners will be able to plug in their iPhones to their cars via the USB port and gain control of a number of the device's functions, all through a car's touchscreen.
Next Polestar Volvo sounds great, whatever it is
Fri, 15 Nov 2013Something - we don't know what yet - is coming from Polestar. While we'll be recovering from next week's LA Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show (and starting to slack off ahead of an extended Thanksgiving weekend), the official tuner of Volvo products has announced plans to unveil its latest creation in less than two weeks.
Based on this video teaser, we can only imagine (and hope) that it's the souped-up Volvo V60 recently caught testing by our spy shooters. The idea of a high-performance Volvo wagon was already enough to get us giddy last month, but the exhaust note in this video is downright captivating. Scroll down to watch the teaser for yourself, and be prepared for some bright blue wagony goodness to be revealed on November 26.
