Attention Volvo Collectors Well Preserved 1983 Volvo 244 Gl Sedan 4-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
Ocean City, Maryland, United States
|
This 1983 Volvo 244 GL is very well preserved with a some imperfections. See Pictures. It will NOT start. When it does start it runs very well. It has low mileage of 139,000. The exterior and interior are very well preserved and the car must have been garaged for most of its life. The dash is pretty cracked up. The sunroof works and it has a very good sony cd stereo. I would hope someone wants it to get going and not for parts. I really do not want to let it go but it is time. Recent work done includes a new master cylinder for the brake system, new brake line junction box, brake lines flushed with new fluid added, tune up with new plugs, wires, coil, distributor, distributor cap, rotor. It also had the entire wiring harness replaced by Volvo at 127,000 at a cost of $1400. The tires have no mileage or wear on them but would probably have to be replaced due to age. I would guess that there is something simple wrong with it but I am tired of trying to figure it out. It also might just be a tank of bad gas. I am starting the price at the price the junk man will give for it. I'm sure that someone who knows these cars can get it going with no trouble at all and it would be a very good driver. In the vehicle history report it is stated that the odometer has passed mechanical limits. This is because it has over 100,000 miles. The mileage on the car is 139,000 original miles. This vehicle will definitely need some repairs, but I do not think any major repairs, to make a daily driver and is being sold as-is. It would be a good project for a Volvo lover with some time to work on it.

Volvos will brake for bicyclists with new detection technology
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Anyone who pedals a bicycle knows that one of the biggest dangers to riders is a motorized vehicle - Volvo estimates that nearly 50 percent of all cyclists killed in European traffic have collided with a car. In the United States alone, 618 riders lost their lives in bicycle/motor vehicle crashes in 2010, and the number of injuries surpassed 52,000.
To help drop those numbers, Volvo has just announced Cyclist Detection with full auto brake - a technology that detects and automatically applies a vehicle's brakes when a cyclist swerves in front of a moving car. The basic components of the system include a radar unit integrated into the front grille, a camera fitted in front of the interior rear-view mirror and a central control unit. The radar is tasked with seeing obstacles in front of the vehicle and calculating distance, while the camera is responsible to determine what the object is. The central control unit, with rapid processing capabilities, monitors and evaluates the situation.
The technology, which will be sold bundled with its Pedestrian Detection and called Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection, will automatically apply full braking when both the radar and camera confirm a pedestrian or cyclist are in the immediate path of the vehicle. According to the automaker, the technology will be offered on the Volvo V40, S60, V60, XC60, V70, XC70 and S80 models from mid-May in 2013.
These are the top luxury cars bought by people entering the segment for the first time
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Let's say you just got a big promotion at work or the kids are moving out of the house, and you finally have some extra money. You decide to blow it all at once and treat yourself by upgrading your ride. Naturally, you look to a luxury automaker. What do you choose?
Models like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class may be tailor-made to introduce buyers to the premium segment, but a new study finds that they don't garner the highest rates of non-luxury customer conquests. It turns out that a Volvo leads among folks moving up to a premium brand, and it isn't even one that's made anymore, at that.
A recent study by Polk and IHS Automotive looked at what models had the highest rates of buyers upgrading from a non-luxury segment. The information comes from its new vehicle registration data through April 2014. All ten top models boasted conquest rates of over 50 percent, but the Volvo C70 led the field with 68.01 percent of its customers coming from non-premium brands.
Volvo working on ultra-lux four-seat XC90 for China?
Tue, 09 Sep 2014In China, it's all about being driven. That's why we've seen so many automakers stretch their most popular models to appeal to buyers in the Chinese market. Volvo is certainly no stranger to this, and according to Autocar, the company is already working on a super-lux, four-seat version of its recently launched XC90 crossover.
Volvo won't stretch the XC90 and just increase second-row legroom, however. Instead, the company will reportedly remove both the standard XC90's second and third row benches, and install a duplicate set of front seats in the rear compartment, featuring the same electric adjustment features, including massage. These more luxurious thrones will be placed further back in the vehicle, allowing for "exceptional" legroom, Autocar reports, without needing to stretch the wheelbase.
Mum's the word on when we can expect to see the high-zoot Volvo arrive, though the magazine estimates that it surface later this year.
