1977 Volvo 245 Dl Wagon West Coast Car on 2040-cars
Swansea, Massachusetts, United States
|
We bought this car 6 years ago in Portland Oregon and shipped it to our home in Massachusetts 3 years ago. Its been our only car for 6 years and has never let us down. It has new parts including fuel pump, transmission mount, brake pads. Always has its oil and fluids changed on schedule. Body is in very good condition, with minor surface rust. No major rot except a small patch under the back left fender and the roof also has some clear coat pealing. Floors are solid. Interior is original and well kept. Some small cosmetic issues. Seats are in great shape. Original seat covers, alloy wheels, full spare tire, tools, and vanity mirror. Timing belt was replaced in 2010, and the steering column was repaired a year ago. Speedometer stopped working shortly after and so did the odometer, fuel gauge and instrument console light. Rear, right passenger door handle is broken. Windshield was replaced 3 weeks ago and original trim was not put back on, although it comes with the car. The odometer reads 223k. Has newer 240 turbo exhaust and ipd sway bars. Tires have good tread. All exterior lights, signals, etc work. Starts, runs, drives and stops great. Passed MA inspection a month ago and has valid sticker until 2015. Clean MA title. We're selling it because we bought a camper and are towing it back to Oregon with a van. We really want this car to go to a good home and to someone who loves Volvos like we do. It was recently used as the main car in the film Infinitely Polar Bear with Mark Ruffalo and Zoe Saldana that will be out this spring. Cool, right? NBD.

Volvo opens order books for XC90 First Edition
Wed, 03 Sep 2014The new Volvo XC90 breaks new ground in any number of ways. It's based on a new modular platform, packs new engines, introduces a new design language and incorporates a whole slew of new safety systems. Even in its sales approach, it takes Volvo into new territory.
In what Volvo calls an industry first, the first 1,927 examples of the new XC90 will be sold online. Those First Edition models, whose production numbers honor the year of the company's founding, will come fully equipped in T6 AWD guise with the twin-charged (but not hybrid) 316-horsepower engine, air suspension, Bowers & Wilkins audio system and 21-inch Inscription alloys, decked out in black with a tan Nappa leather interior, all for $65,900.
As you can see from the online store, ordering has officially begun. Get one while they're hot.
Last Volvo XC90 rolls off assembly line in Gothenburg
Mon, 14 Jul 2014It was back in 1998 when Volvo set about developing its first SUV. The brief was to build a seven-seater that wasn't "too large", and several design proposals were considered. Three and a half years later Volvo revealed the XC90 at the 2002 Detroit Auto Show and the rest, as they say, is history.
Volvo initially had an eye towards selling 50,000 units per year. It achieved that and then some, selling around 85,000 examples per year between 2004 and 2007. Now, after 12 years and 636,143 examples made - still over that initial target on average despite its lingering age that see it selling just 11,000 units these past few years - the last Volvo XC90 rolled off the assembly line in Gothenburg.
That final example is heading straight to the Volvo Museum adjacent to the factory. But it won't, strictly speaking, be the last XC90. It is the last of that model to be built in Sweden, but a new model is on its way. And the current model will continue to be built in Daqing, China, to be sold locally as the Volvo XC Classic. So if you want to get your hands on a seven-seat Volvo crossover, you'll have to move there. Otherwise you can wait until the end of January 2015 for the new model to begin production.
Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.
