![]()
Gorgeous ALL ORIGINAL, 2 Owner Volvo in Rare Color Combo
Here is a beautiful 1978 Volvo 245DL Wagon in awesome condition inside and out. This car is very special in
several ways. It is a two female owner car which has always been garaged and well maintained. This low mileage Wagon comes in a beautiful Cherokee Red on red vinyl color scheme which really sets this vehicle off. These cars are few and far in between, especially in this condition. This is your chance to own a truly one of a kind automobile!
The car was bought new on 11-17-78 at Rock Road Motors of St. Louis, MO by Loretta Kelley and traveled only 11,000 miles while in her ownership, and was purchased out of her estate around 2001 by its second owners who retired to Tucson AZ around 2008 and brought Old Red with them. The previous
owner took extensive care of the car and always garaged it over their 13 year love affair with this beauty. This car was her
pride and joy and always received the best care and service at authorized Volvo
shops. Don't miss your chance to own a very clean and solid '78 245DL.
The following is a list of options as
this 245DL is currently equipped:
-Original 2.0L 4CYL Engine
-Optional 4 Speed Automatic Transmission
-Rare Ice Cold A/C
-Optional Roof Rack
-Original Volvo AM/FM Radio
-All 5 Matching Like New Bridgestone Tires
-Original Steel
Wheels
The body on the car is in very good condition and was extremely well
maintained. The paint on the car is finished in striking Cherokee Red and is in
beautiful show condition. The paint is virtually perfect with only a
few small chips as to be expected on a car that is meant to be driven. The car
has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a
rock as any well cared for garaged car should be, and has never been in any
accidents. The car is riding on original steel Volvo wheels and chrome trim
rings with like new Bridgestone tires. All chrome trim is gorgeous, glass is all original, and rubber seals are in great shape.
The interior is all original condition all around. The dash is free of any cracks or fading. The rest of the
interior is very nice condition with absolutely no cracks or damage. The supple red seats are all in very good condition and look like they have been
very well preserved
original examples. The carpets are all very nice are not worn or damaged and
appear original. All dials and controls function as they should; all windows
and rear hatch also are fully functional. All lights, gauges switches, and
accessories work as they should. The trunk compartment is very clean and does
have the original jack, the new matching spare tire and wheel which appear to
never have touched the pavement! Also included is the original, complete, set
of tools in bag!
Mechanically, this 245DL runs GREAT! The car starts right up and shifts
smooth as silk. The 2.0L engine is very quick and responsive. It is reliable,
easy to fix, and parts are readily available.The internal fuel pump was recently replaced along with the idle valve, in addition to a fresh radiator a couple years ago. The suspension is very tight and
feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 70mph. The front rotors and brakes have been replaced followed by an alignment. The car was always regularly
serviced and was indicated by the huge pile of receipts. The car just had the A/C
serviced and had a tune-up!
The car also has manuals, service books, tool kit, and original Arizona copper plates!
All in all, this is one of the neatest Volvos that I have had the
privilege of being associated with. It has been professionally maintained and
truly loved by its previous owners. This 245DL is a fantastic car for the
price. This is your chance to get a classic Volvo, which will only go up in
value. The car also has a clean Arizona Title. Any further questions please
call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.

Do you want to be perceived as rich and cuddly? Of course you do. Then you need to buy this car. We know it makes no sense, but that pretty much sums up our take on the video you'll see below, in which a man by the name of Christoffer Castor, from Scania County in Southern Sweden, attempts to convince any and all who watch to buy his car. The car in question is a 1993 Volvo 240 wagon, in red with a black fabric interior. We have quite a bit of respect for the old boxy Volvo wagons here at Autoblog, and, despite the presence of some unsightly rust on the tailgate, would gladly bum about in this particular 240. We especially appreciate the five-speed manual gearbox and that it's from the car's final year in production.

Truth be told, if we were to compare the all-new 2019 Acura RDX with those compact luxury crossover SUVs it would most likely be cross-shopped against, you'd be looking at a different list. Even Acura admits that Lexus and Infiniti are the most likely bogies, but with the 2019 RDX, Honda's luxury brand is attempting to attract those customers who think as much with their hearts as with their heads. And for the most part, those folks have been buying from German brands: the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. So, to show how the new RDX compares to them, Acura actually provided examples of each during the recent press drive along with a Volvo XC60. All were determined to have greater emotional appeal than the last RDX, and we would certainly agree. For, as much as the previous-generation RDX made sense on paper, it was really hard to get excited about it. And when you're paying extra for a luxury vehicle, shouldn't you get a little excited? Well, as luck would have it, Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski and I were on hand in Whistler, British Columbia, for the press launch. We didn't have an abundance of time in each RDX competitor, but in conjunction with our usual comparison chart, our impressions should provide a good first taste of how the new RDX compares. Performance and fuel economy Contributing Editor James Riswick: On paper at least, the RDX is gutsier than its comparably powered European rivals. It also weighs the same or less, which logically should mean it'll be the quickest in a straight line. During my brief drives, though, I'm not sure it really stood taller than the three Germans. It at least matches them for smoothness, which is something that can't be said about the Volvo. Fuel economy is lower than them all when you consider all but the Mercedes come standard with all-wheel drive. It's also worth noting that all the competitors are available with engine upgrades, and unless Acura's forthcoming resurrection of Type S models includes the RDX, it should stay that way. Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: Line 'em all up in a drag race, and I have a feeling the Acura would squirt away to victory. A good bit of that, though, would be due to its 10-speed automatic transmission, which offers a huge spread of ratios and fires off extremely quick shifts. In the real world, I'd guess fuel economy will be similar across the board, so I'm willing to call that category a draw.

UPDATE: An earlier version of this post indicated that the larger of the conventional diesel engines was a five-cylinder. However all three powertrains announced for the upcoming new XC90 are actually four-cylinder engines. The text has been updated accordingly. Volvo rolled in to new territory when it introduced the original XC90 back in 2002, creating its first SUV and one of its top-selling models. But that was 12 years ago. In the meantime it's followed up with the smaller XC60, but what the brand faithful and the industry at large have been looking forward to most is the arrival of the new XC90. Previewed by the Concept XC Coupe at the Detroit Auto Show, the new XC90 is set to arrive later this year, but to keep us on our toes, the Swedish automaker has been steadily trickling out a stream of information and photos. Two months ago it gave us a glimpse inside the cabin, and last month it revealed its new infotainment system, but now Volvo has released details on the upcoming new XC90's powertrain.
