Hi,

You are bidding on a piece of Swedish history in this 1982 Volvo 240 Wagon. When I purchased the vehicle 5 years ago, the plan was to restore and make whole again unfortunately advances in technology, and my limited time to dedicate to this project has ended this journey. The body is in very good condition minus fading paint and some rust bubbles on the roof and side quarter panel other than that its pretty solid for its age. The interior is in pretty good condition other than needing a new carpet and repair the tear in the front driver's seat. This old bird doesn't have air conditioning but the heat is "devil's fire."  The majority of the work on the vehicle has been basic upgrades to its age like new belts, tires, tune ups, front and rear shocks, cd player and speakers. I also can include work records to the winning bidder. The car has been sitting for about six months, I found out that it needed a new fuel distributor system and after taking to a couple of mechanics no one could or wanted to put the time in repairing the matter. Basically, the car would start and then just cut off or you could be driving and it would just cut off. We experimented with adjusting the idle and replacing mostly all of the fuel system components to no avail. Also the car needs a new exhaust system from the catalytic converter on back and finally it needs new rear tag lights. The shock absorbers for the rear hatch also are in need of repair as the rear gate can slam loudly. Like any good owner, I would like for the car to go a true volvo enthusiast that could revive her back to new. The odometer is reading at about 160,000 however we had a stint when the odometer froze so the mileage is not accurate but not too far off. Based on the title I think I am the third owner and the car was very well taken car of. I'm asking $1500 or best offer but please only serious bidders please don't insult me with unrealistic offers. Shipping costs are not included in the price and its the winning bidders responsibility to secure transport of the vehicle. I will only accept Paypal bids and the title will be mailed as soon the payment is confirmed. The winning bidder will have 5 days to secure the vehicle once the payment is confirmed. All sales are final and I have done my best to accurately describe the condition of this vehicle. Please email any further questions about the car and I can also attach additional pictures. Thanks for looking!!

Volvo S60 Polestar Concept finally spotted in the flesh

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

The Volvo S60 Polestar Concept has graced the pages of Autoblog numerous times in recent memory, but we've never actually seen it in person. That is, until now.
We caught up with the blazing blue sedan sitting on the floor of the LA Auto Show, and it looks even better up close. As a refresher, the four-door is fitted with a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine (3.0-liter) generating an impressive 508 horsepower. Its close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox sends power to all four wheels through a fourth-generation Haldex XWD system. With a decent driver behind the steering wheel, the Polestar can crack the 60 mph benchmark in about 3.7 seconds as it rushes towards a top speed in excess of 186 mph.
Volvo has said that this Polestar-modified S60 was built for a specific client who paid upwards of $300,000 for the pleasure of owning it. But as they say, if there is market demand for more...

Volvo sets high carbon price to assess sustainability of new projects

Wed, Nov 10 2021

GLASGOW — Swedish automaker Volvo said on Wednesday it had set a price on carbon emissions from its operations of 1,000 Swedish crowns ($116.30) a tonne, part of attempts to ensure all future projects are sustainable. Announcing the move at global climate talks in Scotland as it joined an imitative to phase out fossil fuel cars and vans, the company said it had deliberately set a relatively high price to "future proof" itself. Negotiators at the COP26 talks are trying to finish rules to create an international carbon market. Put simply, it would allow some countries to pay others to cut emissions — with the aim of pushing much-needed cash into green projects around the world. Volvo said it was the first automaker to set such a price across its whole operations, as part of its aim to be a climate neutral company by 2040. The price is double the current cost of carbon in the European Union's carbon trading scheme. Going forward, every new car project would go through a "sustainability sense-check", with a carbon price assigned throughout the life of the vehicle, to ensure it would be profitable even under a much higher government-set price. “A global and fair price on CO2 is critical for the world to meet its climate ambitions, and we all need to do more,” Bjorn Annwall, chief financial officer, said in a statement. “We strongly believe progressive companies should take the lead by setting an internal carbon price. By evaluating future cars on their CO2-adjusted profitability, we expect to accelerate actions that will help us identify and reduce carbon emissions already today.” Also on Wednesday, Volvo signed up to the Glasgow Declaration on Zero Emission Cars and Vans, along with peers including Ford and General Motors, aiming to end production of internal combustion engines by 2040.

Daimler and Geely collaborate to develop 'a highly efficient modular engine'

Wed, Nov 18 2020

BERLIN — German car maker Daimler said on Tuesday it will cooperate with China's Geely to build next-generation combustion engines for use in hybrid vehicles. Efforts to share development costs come as the growth potential for combustion engines faces the twin threat of the COVID-19 crisis and stricter fuel-efficiency and emission rules. "The companies plan to develop a highly efficient modular engine," a spokesman for Daimler said, adding that it would be used in hybrid drivetrains and manufactured in Europe and China. Geely declined to comment. The modular engine will be used in cars under different marques at Geely and Daimler, a person familiar with the matter said on condition of anonymity as the companies are still in the early stages of developing the engine. News of the alliance was a surprise to Daimler's works council at its factory in Untertuerkheim, which specializes in electric and gasoline powertrain assembly. "We are speechless. There was not even a discussion about potential alternative manufacturing locations," said Michael Haeberle, the works council chief for Untertuerkheim. "We have the ability to build four-cylinder engines in Untertuerkheim, but there were no talks about it." Daimler said German factories will be retooled gradually to add electric drivetrains production. Most of the next-generation combustion engines will be made in China, business daily Handelsblatt reported. The alliance with Geely, which owns a 9.69% stake in Stuttgart-based Daimler, means that parts of Daimler's existing partnership with Renault could be pared back. A Renault source told Reuters that the Daimler-Geely project does not mean an end of cooperation between Daimler and Renault. Citing Daimler sources, Handelsblatt said the Daimler-Geely pact would save the German carmaker a "triple-digit million sum" — implying an amount above 100 million euros ($119 million) and less than 1 billion euros.
