1985 Volvo 240dl Low Miles on 2040-cars
Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States
|
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. |

2015 Volvo XC90 proves Sweden's auto industry is alive and well [w/video]
Fri, 03 Oct 2014The most important new Volvo in quite some time has made its first auto show appearance, with the second-generation XC90 debuting at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
As we discussed in both our original post and Deep Dive feature, the new XC90 remains a three-row crossover for 2015, although it ditches the first-gen model's top-end, turbocharged six-cylinder in favor of a single twin-charged, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. By pairing that with a plug-in-electric powertrain, the king of the XC90 range, the T8 TwinEngine, will offer up 400 horsepower. So yeah, performance should be brisk.
Also appearing on 2015 XC90 will be an entirely new, Apple CarPlay-compatible infotainment system with a big, vertical touchscreen display at its heart. Based on the videos we've seen, the new system looks responsive, feature-laden and quite attractive.
Volvo shows inflatable child seat concept [w/video]
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Volvo is bringing its emphasis on safety and design to the littlest members of the family with its concept for an inflatable, rearward facing child safety seat. The design is meant to help traveling families by offering a lighter and less bulky alternative to traditional car seats.
The design is quite ingenious. The seat is covered in drop-stitched fabric, which fills with air to create the form of the seat. An electric motor in it allows inflation and deflation in less than 40 seconds, according to Volvo. It weighs less than 5 kilograms (11 pounds) and folds small enough when collapsed to fit into a bag. It even has a Bluetooth connection, so parents can begin expanding it remotely.
The inflatable seat in the brainchild of Lawrence Abele, Volvo's design manager at its Monitoring and Concept Center in Los Angeles, CA. "For many, travelling with young children is a challenge; any assistance to simplify the parents' life with young children is a great thing," he said in a statement released by Volvo. The chair remains a concept for now, and the automaker isn't saying whether it's going to put it into production, but it's a clever solution to a common problem. Scroll down for a video showing it in action and to read the release.
Tony Nicolosi named CEO of Volvo Cars North America
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Volvo announced today that it has named Tony Nicolosi, president and CEO of Volvo Car Financial Services VCFS), as the new CEO of Volvo Cars of North America (VCNA). Nicolosi replaces John Maloney, who chose to leave due to family obligations after Volvo offered him a position in Europe.
Volvo says Nicolosi will remain president and CEO of VCFS while he assumes VCNA's top position. The Swedish automaker also says a "permanent successor [to Maloney] as President and CEO will be the subject of a later announcement."
The move comes as part of a management shakeup that's part of a "larger transformation taking place at Volvo," the automaker says.
