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.

Honda, Volvo, Lincoln are North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year

Mon, Jan 15 2018

The Detroit Auto Show has officially kicked off, as it always does, with the announcement of the North American Car, Utility Vehicle and Truck of the Year winners. For 2018, those are the Honda Accord, Volvo XC60 and Lincoln Navigator, respectively. The Honda Accord beat out two other finalists, the Toyota Camry and the new Kia Stinger. The Accord stood out for its styling, drivability and standard equipment. The Volvo XC60 came out ahead of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Honda Odyssey minivan. It was chosen for its luxury, ride and value when equipped well. The Lincoln Navigator, a heavily updated model that remained true to the concept car on which it was based, beat the Ford Expedition, as well as the only pickup in the list, the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 (which was a finalist for Autoblog's own Technology of the Year Award). NACTOY juror Ron Sessions complimented the "more dramatic update" compared to the Expedition. "With its design now aligned with the Continental, the Navigator becomes an even more important image — and the profit-maker for Lincoln," he said. The NACTOY Awards have been around since 1994. A panel of 60 judges, all automotive journalists, whittle the list down to three finalists in each category before announcing the winners in January. The Utility Vehicle category was added for 2017.

Polestar says goodbye to Volvo C30 in video tribute

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

The Volvo C30 was put to its eternal bed a few months ago, but the tuners at Polestar have a little more eulogizing to do. The Swedish house of speed that has raced and reworked the little hatch since its introduction in 2006 wants the world to know what they've been through together, so it has encapsulated seven years of around-the-world action into three minutes and 28 seconds of track footage and champagne.
We're still waiting on word of a replacement for the funny little hatch, and while we lament what could have been, the video below proves that the C30 provided plenty of thrills for those outside of the US. And as you can read in our recent review of the Polestar-enhanced road-going C30, it provided a decent amount of fun for those of us in the States, as well.
