1989 Volvo Dl 245 Wagon on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
This is the 240 wagon you have been waiting to buy...this is probably one of the best looked after and cared for available today.
Up for auction is our beloved and extremely well-sorted 1989 Volvo 240 wagon (a.k.a The Brick). We have owned this fantastic car for the past 17 years, and are only the second owners. The car is even better in person than the pictures. We have all service receipts and documentation that you would expect for a car of this quality. We have documented receipts of over $1300 in the past year with the following parts replaced:
Many upgrades are also included:
Outside of the typical driver seat stitching that separated at the seams, the interior is nearly perfect given the car is 25 years old. The carpets are not faded and in excellent condition. The headliner is intact and unblemished. Small details like visor clips and glove box door all operate as new. In short, if you are looking for the best example with the history and documentation, then bid on it knowing the owners have a 100% rating on eBay. The car has virtually no rust, only two very small spots that are barely visible at the rear wiper and the luggage rack. Both areas are documented in pictures and smaller than a house key in width. The car has never been wrecked, there is no bondo or filler anywhere. Purchased in Kansas and a Texas car the past 17 years, it has many years of life ahead for the new owner. Please feel free to inspect the car in person or arrange for a pre-purchase inspection at your expense. The car is being sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Thank you for looking and hope the winning bid goes to a home that will take the same great care that we have! Good luck... |

Volvo to complete concept car trilogy in Geneva
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volvo went through some doldrums around the same time it was bought by Geely, but it proved that it was back when it unveiled the P1800-inpsired Concept Coupe last August at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It followed up with the sleek Concept XC Coupe crossover (pictured above) in Detroit that echoed the next-generation XC90. Now, the Swede is readying one more concept to bring the trilogy to an end, and act as the centerpiece of its display at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
There are no images of the new concept yet, not even a teaser, but Volvo says that like the other two, it's designed by Thomas Ingenlath and shares common design elements. Since it has already imagined a future coupe and crossover, maybe the concept is a sedan. Volvo has confirmed that it rides on the modular Scalable Product Architecture platform that is being used on multiple future production models and uses its new Drive-E four-cylinder engine family.
The Concept Coupe and Concept XC Coupe will be on display with the new concept in Geneva so that visitors can get a complete idea of Volvo's future. Hopefully, the company has finally righted the course and is ready to compete on the world stage again. Scroll down to read Volvo's few details about the new concept.
Volvo uncovers widespread cheating by its Chinese dealers
Tue, 26 Mar 2013According to a report in Reuters, the findings of an internal investigation conducted by Geely-owned Volvo is that its Chinese dealers vastly overreported their sales numbers in 2011, then even more vastly underreported their 2012 sales figures. About "half the dealers" out of the 151 total outlets gamed the system in order to get incentives for reaching volume objectives, falsely recording about 7,000 more units sold than was actually the case. Instead of 47,140 cars sold in China in 2011, the real number should have been 39,871.
Volvo corporate books a sale once it ships a car to a dealer, so that meant there were 7,000 more cars in inventory than there should have been. To restore the balance, the dealers underreported their 2012 sales while they unloaded those extra cars since, naturally, they couldn't claim the sale again. That made it look like sales declined by 11 percent in 2012, even though they actually increased year-on-year. The adjusted sales number for 2012 totalled 45,896.
Volvo has met with its dealers and told them to stop the deceitful practice. The discrepancies weren't so great that the company plans to restate its historic numbers, but from now on, it apparently plans to occasionally check inventory to make sure the numbers match and that it has a true picture of how individual models are selling.
Volvo to use Oz as test bed for more Polestar models?
Tue, 25 Jun 2013We've already told you about the slightly more awesome version of the Volvo S60 that our friends Down Under can now get their hands on. And according to Aussie site Drive.com.au, Volvo may look to the land of Oz for future testing of new, Polestar-tuned, high-performance models.
Volvo has reportedly confirmed that this S60 Polestar run will be an exercise in testing the acceptance of the Swedish tuner's presence as a proper competitor for things like BMW's M division or Mercedes-Benz's AMG. (A tall order, for sure.) "The world is watching this exercise with much interest," Volvo Cars Australia boss, Matt Braid, told Drive.com.au.
Hans Baath, Polestar Managing Director, reportedly hinted that the tuning house had already begun work on a hotter version of the V40 hatchback, but the project was scrapped in order to get the S60 program rolling. If there's success to be found here, this smaller hot hatch could be revisited, as well as a more powerful version of the XC60 crossover.
