I have my 1992 Volvo 240 Wagon up for Auction. Please feel free to ask any questions. There is a low reserve on the car and this car is worth every penny. Okay, a little about my Brick:
1992 Volvo 240 Wagon with just over 320,xxx miles on the odometer (yes, the odometer does work). Does not have any warning lights on the dash (yes, they work as well). Just Passed the Emissions PA Sticker Test, Good Til 4/15. I am a classic Volvo enthusiast and have taken meticulous care of my brick. It originally came with cloth seats in which the bottom cushions where really worn out, so I replaced the seats with tan leather seats from a 1990 240. Some of the Maintenance and work that has been on this car is: Normal Maintenance: Every 3 Months Changed Oil with Pennzoil Platinum, Check Flame Trap and Replace (if needed). Brake Pads Replaced Every 6 Months with PBR Brake Pads and new hardware from IpdUSA. This Spring: Replaced Hood Hinge and Alternator (Reconditioned Bosch). Last summer: Replaced Timing Belt, Head Gasket, Water Pump, Belts, K&N Air Filter, Spark Plugs, Distributor Cap/Rotor, Plug Wires and Drive shaft support bearing. Last Spring: Replaced Tires and redid front-end (Struts, Rear Shocks, Ball Joints, Inner/Outer Tie Rods, Driver Side A-Arm, Sway Bar End Links and Bushings - Polyurethane, and replaced all the other bushings as well but with rubber.) Also Got it Aligned. Last Winter: Replaced Catalytic Converter and O2 Sensor (Bosch OEM Fit). I have records from the previous owners as well, which included replacing the Transmission with a reconditioned transmission from a volvo 740 turbo, so it has a little more get up than a regular 240. Condition of the car: Engine - When I had the head off last summer, it did not have a single wear ring or mark. Engine Does NOT LEAK! Runs very smooth and has never let me down. It does need a new motor mount soon though. Transmission - Shifts very smooth and Natural. Has No Issues In Any Gear, Including Overdrive. Body - Paint is very glossy and shiny. No issues what-so-ever with peeling or overcoat issues. Saying that, there is some surface rust spots on the hood and tailgate. Nothing too major. Exhaust - Gaskets have all been replaced lately, cat was replaced last winter and IS VERY QUITE Tires - Over 85% of life left. Good to go! Brakes - About 50-60% life left in this set of pads. Lights - All Work, occasionally going over railroad tracks a bulb would get jarred lose, but that is the only issue I have had. Interior - Tan Leather Seats, Rear Facing 3rd Row of Seats In Back, Back Hatch Area is Tinted, Clean Extra's - Comes with spare tire and volvo tool bag...plus service records. Negatives: Will Need Motor Mount Eventually, Back Side Was Bumped Into By Semi Truck but I painted over it and it is good to go (See picture), Driver side door trim came off this winter but I still have it, Rear Window Wiper Does Not Work, Has Tape Player That Doesn't Work...Speakers Do Work Though. This car will get you from point A to B, and in style. Very Reliable and Extremely Safe for Families or Young Drivers (No Blind Spots in this Car!). The only reason why I am selling it is because I have 3 classic volvos and can only drive one. I would love this to go another Volvo-Crazy Family. I have a Buy-It Now for $2500 (It is worth every penny of that price) also have a low reserve. I am not a dealer, therefore I will not place a warranty on this car. I can say that it is driven on a daily basis and does not let me down. Thanks! On Apr-17-14 at 06:17:10 PDT, seller added the following information: I have my 1992 Volvo 240 Wagon up for Auction.

Geely to release models developed with Volvo in 2015
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Geely and Volvo will finally team up for a jointly developed vehicle, more than three years after the safety-minded Swedish brand was gobbled up by Geely's parent company, according to a report in Automotive News Europe. The story quotes Geely's CEO, Gui Sheng Yue saying, "We have entered into actual research and development stage and I believe we can see the new product in the year after next."
That means 2015, which is a mighty ambitious timetable to bring a vehicle to market. But as Geely's CEO explains, life isn't going to get any easier in the Chinese market, "Competitive pressure on domestic brands in the China market should increase considerably in the coming years as most major international brands are strengthening their presence," he told ANE. Those statements also tell us that we shouldn't expect to see Geely on American shores any time soon. The brand is simply too focused on topping the Chinese market, at least among CDM brands.
Volvo Polestar reveals new V8 Supercars engine
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Volvo may be better known for turbo fives and inline fours, but in 2005 it launched the XC90 with a new eight-cylinder engine built for it by Yamaha. Fast forward to this past June when Volvo announced its intention to enter Australia's V8 Supercars series, where it would compete with the likes of Ford, Holden, Nissan and Mercedes-AMG. This is the engine with which it intends to do so.
Revealed this weekend at the Sydney 500, this competition-spec powerplant is based on the same B8444S that powered the XC90 and S80 (not to mention the Noble M600), but tuned for racing duty to be shoehorned into the new S60 touring car. The 60-degree aluminum block has been bored out from 4.4 liters to 5.0, its compression ratio boosted to 10:1, modified to run on E85 bio-ethanol and its redline increased to 7500 rpm. Volvo also promises a unique engine note from its new racers.
While Volvo and its racing partner Polestar haven't released official output numbers, regulations call for outputs between 620 and 650 horsepower - in any event, a whole lot more than the 311 hp it produces in stock form. (Noble managed to squeeze that much out of the same block, but that required twin turbochargers while this unit remains naturally aspirated.) Scope out the details in the press release below and the photos from the reveal in the gallery above.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
