1985 Volvo 240dl Low Miles on 2040-cars
Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States
|
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 C30 Polestar Concept hits the 'Ring
Mon, 05 Aug 2013It's been over three years since the Volvo C30 Polestar Concept was unveiled, driven by journalists and, as it turns out, lapped around the Nürburgring with Scandinavian Touring Car Championship driver Robert Dahlgren behind the wheel. For whatever reason, the video of the 'Ring track session was only published by the tuning company yesterday. (Another discrepancy: Did Polestar's C30 lose 46 horsepower somewhere along the line? Because the video states that it has 405 hp, while the company's website quotes 451 hp...)
Whatever the case, the tuned Volvo is a beast, much more so than the similar-looking, 250-hp 2013 Volvo C30 Polestar Limited Edition that was sold last year. With 451 hp (sounds better than 405 hp, doesn't it?), all-wheel drive, limited-slip differentials front and rear and Öhlins dampers, the Polestar Concept checks all of the right boxes for us.
For some reason, the video, which you can watch below, seems a bit vanilla to us. Perhaps the overly dramatic music takes away from the action and the beautiful sounds of the turbocharged five-cylinder engine?
Next-generation Volvo XC90 interior revealed
Tue, 27 May 2014Volvo has officially kicked off the slow burn that will lead to the eventual unveiling of the next-generation XC90, in August. Its initial foray into the public eye will be with these, a series of 20 images of the new three-row SUVs interior, which is very, very Swedish (there are even the most adorable little Swedish flags on the seats).
In all, it looks like a positively sumptuous place to sit, with sharp looking woods and a crystal shifter, crafted by Orrefors Glassworks in Sweden. It's a clean, minimalist design that we imagine will age quite nicely.
Featured quite prominently - and the main part of the cabin that doesn't strike us as minimalist - is the very large touchscreen. Aligned in a portrait layout, which hasn't been done by too many automakers, it will be home to a new type of infotainment system that will make its debut in Volvo's flagship SUV. It also looks like we can expect digital gauges when the XC90 finally arrives.
Volvo details new drive assist features for next XC90 and future models [w/video]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Volvo wants us to know what kinds of new technology will be under the sheetmetal of the offerings that will sit on its Scalable Platform Architecture, the first of which will be included on the 2015 Volvo XC90 arriving at the end of next year. The silicon-chip onslaught starts with detection and auto braking for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and large animals. The company's animal detection tech now works at night thanks to better cameras and exposure controls.
Also due for the high-riding wagon are road edge and barrier detection with steer assist, a setup that identifies the edge of the road - even ones without markings. The system can steer the car back into its lane if it detects the driver is about to leave the road or collide with a barrier. Adaptive cruise control with steer assist allows the car to not only follow the flow of traffic on a straight road, but steer itself automatically.
Beyond that, the company is planning on other safety advances, but these will rely on automaker cooperation and infrastructure upgrades. Volvo has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Car 2 Car Communication Consortium on the subject of standards for communication between cars and wants to have it implemented by 2016. Sensors in traffic lights will enable Green Light Optimum Speed Advisory, which tells a driver how fast to go on a give stretch of road so as not to hit a red light. Weather, road condition, road works and emergency vehicle warnings will also inform drivers of new developments on the road. And autonomous parking, which Volvo has already demonstrated, stands to put a lot of valets out of work since it allows the car to find its own parking space without a driver inside.
