I'm selling my 85 Volvo DL that I just bought.  Financial difficulties that arose soon after I bought this car have made selling it necessary.  I looked for a long time before finding the right car and this is it.  As you can see it has less than 83,000 miles and I only found one small rust spot on the car and that was in the driver's side spare tire area inside the trunk.  The top, hood and truck have faded paint but on the sides the paint is in remarkably good shape.  The car runs and drives beautifully and has absolutely no issues with engine, transmision, suspension or brakes.   I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere.  

The original Volvo radio works but the casette and power antenna don't.  The dash has some cracks.  The A/C cools but needs work.  The left tail light has been hard wired and will need some attention.  Except for these items I know of nothing the car needs.  I just changed the oil, putting in Royal Purple 5W30 and a premium filter.  It had a pinhole in the power steering reservoir which I repaired.  

I have figured out most of the history of the car from the books and a Carfax.  The Carfax only begins in 1990 but the owner's  manual (which is included) indicates it was bought in Atlanta at Chris Imports (now Marietta Volvo) on 11/3/1984.  The Volvo Service record book that came with the car was kept up until 8/19/1987 when it was serviced at 30260 miles at Chris.  The Carfax shows it received an emissions inspection in California on 10/9/1992 and had 61,810 miles on it.  A title was issued in Florida in 1997.  It was purchased from an estate in 2012 and sold to the gentleman I bought it from.  I believe I am the fourth owner if you count the person who bought it from the estate to sell.  The Carfax does not indicate any accidents with the car.

  Because I have told you everything I know about the issues the car please don't think it isn't a really a great car, because it is.  It is however a used car and I can't offer any warranties.  I can tell you I would not risk my reputation on Ebay to make a few bucks.  I try to avoid glowing terms that some sellers use knowing the winning bidder will be pleansantly surprised with, not disappointed in. their purchase.

Terms are $500.00 within 48 hours of close of bidding and the balance within five (5) working days by paypal or 7 working day by cash or financial instrument.  Any type of cashier's check or money order will have to clear before the car is released to a shipper.  I have a clear Florida title.  

OTHER:  Complete tuneup including fuel injection service, plugs, wires, and air filter at 70,744 miles on 7/21/2013.  On 6/10/13 it had a "prepump" installed which is the fuel pump in the tank I believe.  It has four matching Michelin tires with plenty of tread as shown in the pictures.

Volvo to create 3,300 jobs at $1.25 billion EV plant in Slovakia

Sat, Jul 2 2022

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia — Swedish luxury vehicle maker Volvo Cars plans to build a new European plant in eastern Slovakia, the countryÂ’s economy minister said Friday. VolvoÂ’s third European plant will be located in Kosice, SlovakiaÂ’s second-largest city, Economy Minister Richard Sulik said. Volvo will receive about 20% of the 1.2 billion euros ($1.25 billion) needed for the project as support from the Slovak government. The plant is expected to produce some 250,000 electric cars a year and to create some 3.300 jobs. Construction is scheduled to begin next year and production to start in 2026.  GermanyÂ’s Volkswagen, FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot Citroen, South KoreaÂ’s Kia Motors Corp. and U.K.-based Jaguar Land Rover already have major plants in Slovakia, a Central European country of 5.5 million people. Volvo's plant will be the fifth there, and will bolster the country's standing as the biggest car producer per capita in the world, with the central European country of 5.4 million producing more than 1 million cars in 2021. For Volvo Cars, it will be its third plant in Europe and will build EVs only, in line with the company's ambition to produce EVs exclusively by the end of this decade. The European Union aims to phase out new fossil fuel car sales by 2035. "Expansion in Europe, our largest sales region, is crucial to our shift to electrification and continued growth," Chief Executive Jim Rowan said in a statement. The area targeted for the plant has long had high unemployment compared with the western part of the country. "I am very pleased that Slovakia succeeded in the competition for this mega investment that will bring development and many jobs to the east of Slovakia," Economy Minister Richard Sulik said in a statement. Volvo Cars' other European plants are in Belgium and Sweden. Its output last year rose by 5.6% to almost 700,000 automobiles, of which 27% were either fully electric or plug-in hybrids. The company, which is majority-owned by China's Geely Holding, listed on Nasdaq Stockholm last October. Includes material from Reuters.
