Up for sale is a Silver 1989 Volvo 245DL with blue leatherette interior.  This survivor has 149,014 miles showing on the working odometer.  This vehicle came to my Volvo repair shop in need of some TLC that the former owner was unable to provide.  The poor little car was on its way to the great beyond.  Being a volvo technician for the past 30 years, I could see beyond the maintenance needed and offered to purchase the vehicle.   The owner and I reached a number and the work began to bring this Swedish jewel back to its former self.  The car has been garage kept for most of its life, hence the immaculate paint and no rust to be found.  My staff and I started with a bath and went on from there.  We did all work necessary to make it reliable and safe just as Volvo did.  We replaced any suspect brake component, including front brake pads, rotors, calipers and brake hoses.  Rear brake pads, rotos and calipers.  Brake master cylinder and junction block.  We did a complete tune up including valve adjustment, Spark plugs, distributer cap, rotor, ignition wires, PCV valve, air filter, throttle plate service and adjustment.  We replaced the timing belt, tensioner bearing and front engine seals.  The radiator, water pump, thermostate and coolant flush were done for good measure.  Before buttoning up the front we installed new drive belts.  The rear tail lenses have been replaced and the tailgate got new wiring harnesses.  The suspension bushings are in good shape with plenty of miles left, the rear shock absorbers are recent.  The air conditioning is in excellent working order and blowing nice and cold.  The paint is original and shinny, this car has never been in an accedent, the interior is in fantastic shape with no tears in the seats or carpet.  This is an extremely  stand up 245 ready to give many many more miles of driving pleasure and should need nothing to be a reliable car for its new owner.  Please see list for a complete list of all repairs and maintenance done.

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.

Sweden's Prince Carl Philip to race for Volvo in STCC

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

Prince Carl Philip Bernadotte has it good. He is a member of the Swedish Royal Family, he dates a model and he has been voted by Forbes as one of the "20 Hottest Young Royals." If that were not enough, he is a fairly successful racecar driver. The latter has earned him a spot on the Volvo Polestar racing team for the Swedish Touring Car Championship. The prince will be piloting a race-spec S60 in the 2013 STCC campaign.
Starting in 2008, Prince Carl Philip began competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup, where he placed as high as 11th. In 2010, he finished first in the Porsche GT3 Endurance competition, and most recently, he placed fourth in the 2012 Swedish GT GTB.
As his motorsport career up to this point suggests, the prince is quite serious about racing and the STCC is the next step up. According to Prince Carl Philip, "There is no tougher championship in Sweden and at the same time as I have respect for it, it motivates me greatly." You can read more on Prince Carl Philip's upcoming campaign with Polestar in the press release below.
