Volvo 245 Wagon 169k Miles, Incredible Condition A/t, No Accidents, R134a on 2040-cars
Middletown, New York, United States
This is a survivor car. It is in really nice condition, with no body damage and no evidence of any accidents. The paint appears to be original, as well as all the trim. Only the windshield has been replaced and is not original. Their is a bit of surface rust in a few areas, and one small spot with a bit more that I tried to capture with the camera.
The car does have an upgraded radio, but surprisingly enough, still has the original tool kit including the Italian manufactured vice grip, which people almost always keep when they sell the car. This car also has the 3rd row seat which is in excellent condition; and the optional plastic Volvo floor mats in all locations, including the rear cargo section. This kept the carpet in extremely good condition. The A/C was converted to R134a in 2010 by a certified shop, whose sticker appears under the hood. In the past 40,000 miles the following repairs and maintenance have been done: Exhaust from cat back, radiator, trans fluid, oil changes( many), front pads, rear pads and rotors, head gasket and water pump, timing belt, Wires ,cap, rotor, and plugs, and airbox cleaned, motor mount, rear shocks.These were all done by the same repair shop. Drivers side trim is loose at the front fender. it is held on with double sided tape. Had I kept the car, I would have ordered the proper clips for it. I am the fourth owner and recently purchased it since I had been looking for one in this condition for a long time; and finally found this one. A week ago I agreed to buy another car and now I can't believe I am selling this one, but I am. A $500 deposit is required at the end of the auction by PayPal, Balance cashiers check or cash. I am located in Orange County NY and can arrange for airport pickup at Steward International Airport (SWF) if required. I can be contacted with questions at 845-239-2368 |

Apple CarPlay drawing early safety concerns [w/video]
Sun, 09 Mar 2014Apple's CarPlay infotainment system hasn't made it into a single vehicle yet, and it's already drawing criticism for distracting drivers among safety advocates. The new tech unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show pairs users' iPhones with the car's dashboard display to make calls, dictate messages and listen to music. Some automakers, like Volvo, also let users interact with the HVAC system from the screen.
"The idea that people want to be on their phones, and therefore let's give them a way to do that -- that's not putting safety first, that's putting convenience and the desire to be in touch first," said Bruce Hamilton, manager of research and communications at the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, to CNN Money.
Distracted driving is a huge concern on modern roads with more vehicles allowing drivers to use their smartphones through Bluetooth and infotainment systems. A Texas A&M study found that drivers' reaction time doubled while dictating text messages, according to CNN Money. The new tech is certainly not making drivers pay more attention.
2014 Volvo V60 to start at $35,300*
Tue, 31 Dec 2013When Volvo announced US pricing for its updated 2014 model line, it left one vital model out of the equation: that would be the V60, the long-roofed version of the S60 sedan and the long-awaited replacement for the V70 wagon that left our shores nearly four years ago. But if you look at the V60's product page now, you'll see a starting MSRP listed at $35,300. That represents a $2,900 premium over the S60 and an $800 premium over the larger (but older) XC70 softroader.
Delve further into the online configuration tool and you'll see that the price is applied, naturally, to the base turbocharged five-cylinder, front-drive model. Go for the Premier or Platinum trims and the price begins to climb, as it does with the addition of all-wheel drive, the turbo six engine and the R-Design spec. You'll also need to account for the *$915 destination charge. Tick all the boxes and you'll soon be looking at a price tag of over $50,000. Order books open with the start of the new year.
Polestar says goodbye to Volvo C30 in video tribute
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The Volvo C30 was put to its eternal bed a few months ago, but the tuners at Polestar have a little more eulogizing to do. The Swedish house of speed that has raced and reworked the little hatch since its introduction in 2006 wants the world to know what they've been through together, so it has encapsulated seven years of around-the-world action into three minutes and 28 seconds of track footage and champagne.
We're still waiting on word of a replacement for the funny little hatch, and while we lament what could have been, the video below proves that the C30 provided plenty of thrills for those outside of the US. And as you can read in our recent review of the Polestar-enhanced road-going C30, it provided a decent amount of fun for those of us in the States, as well.
