1982 Volvo 240 Sedan California Car Until 2012 on 2040-cars
Newtown, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I am selling this vintage Volvo 240 as my son has left for college and does not need a car anymore. We purchased this car on EBAY two years ago from a car mechanic in Ohio who owned it for a few months after buying it from a person who drove it to Ohio from California. The body is very solid with one dime side rust spot on the driver's side floor panel. This does not affect the structure. There is surface rust on the fender due to my son sliding against a fence on the way to school on a rainy day. There is no frame damage, I banged out the fender and bumper which was bent. However, the bumper has a crack underneath and some of the rubber molding is loose.. The right person can make it look brand new.
The center console is missing due to the plastic getting brittle which is common for these cars. The air conditioning is not currently working. The upholstery on the driver's side has a number of rips with very minor rips on the passenger and back seat. Recently,the car started to vibrate which needs to be attended to, it happens when you go above 40 mph. I am just too busy to tackle it at the moment. I suspect it could be mountings but I am not sure. Tire threads are at 60%. Overall a solid rugged car that needs some TLC to be brought back to its former glory. Car currently has PA. valid state inspection through June 2015. Again, this car is being sold AS IS and has no warranty. Please look at the pictures, they tell the story, but if you need anymore information about this car please feel free to call me at 215-970-4818. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. The vehicle history report is showing that the vehicle was towed from the accident, that is not the case, the vehicle was driven home and has been driven ever since. I have listed this car with a very reasonable reserve. This vehicle is also listed locally, so I reserve the right to end the listing early. Happy Bidding! |

Volvo building new AstaZero safety proving ground in Sweden
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Volvo is an automaker committed to vehicle safety, setting an ambitious target for itself: by 2020, the Swedish automaker envisions that no one will be killed or seriously injured in one of its cars. In order to achieve that goal, Volvo has announced a new proving ground designed specifically to test safety solutions.
Called AstaZero, the new facility near the company's headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, is the result of a $70 million investment. It will cover some 500 acres, with over 60 acres of pavement, four city blocks and three and a half miles of highway. The Active Safety Test Area (the ASTA in AstaZero) will enable Volvo and its partners (including Scania trucks as well as government bodies and university development programs) to simulate city streets, highways, rural roads, roundabouts, T-junctions and more, combining traffic from cars, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, trucks and even animals in order to account for all manner of potential hazards.
The facility will enable Volvo to test active safety systems and autonomous vehicle operations, and even allow robots to test its prototypes in an adaptive environment that aims to be more flexible than existing proving grounds. Read more about Volvo's commitment to safety in the press release below.
Next Polestar Volvo sounds great, whatever it is
Fri, 15 Nov 2013Something - we don't know what yet - is coming from Polestar. While we'll be recovering from next week's LA Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show (and starting to slack off ahead of an extended Thanksgiving weekend), the official tuner of Volvo products has announced plans to unveil its latest creation in less than two weeks.
Based on this video teaser, we can only imagine (and hope) that it's the souped-up Volvo V60 recently caught testing by our spy shooters. The idea of a high-performance Volvo wagon was already enough to get us giddy last month, but the exhaust note in this video is downright captivating. Scroll down to watch the teaser for yourself, and be prepared for some bright blue wagony goodness to be revealed on November 26.
Volvo readying stretched next-gen S80 in lieu of 7 Series rival?
Fri, 13 Sep 2013The debate about what direction to take perennially struggling Volvo has been raging for years. Should the Swedish marque go upscale and try to chase other European luxury brands, or should it stick to its safety-minded knitting? Should it adopt flashy new styling and a more overt performance bent, or keep it Scandinavian clean and responsible? Chinese parent brand Geely apparently has designs on making Volvo a full-fledged BMW rival - particularly in its homeland - including pushing for a range-topping 7 Series competitor. However, Volvo execs have been repeatedly pushing back on the idea. In fact, it's understood that this philosophical crisis contributed mightily to the high-profile departure of Stefan Jacoby, the company's CEO until the middle of 2012 (Jacoby has since rebounded to head international operations for General Motors).
There doesn't seem like any middle path in this debate, but that apparently isn't going to stop Volvo from trying. According to a sprawling Reuters report, Volvo will placate Geely chairman Li Shufu with a stretched and lux'd up version of the next S80. Yet Li still isn't completely satisfied, and he's said to be pushing for "a plusher and bigger model he calls the S100" to rival cars like the Audi A8. For the moment, it is not clear if the larger S80-based model will be a global offering, or just another one of China's many home-market, long-wheelbase specials.
The question of future Volvo styling is up for debate as well. According to Reuters, "Insiders say Li is a big fan of the new styling that design chief Thomas Ingenlath has brought to Volvo" (The latest example, the Concept Coupe from this week's Frankfurt Motor Show, is shown above.) Yet there are those who worry whether the company's new styling strategy is showy enough to appeal to China's wealthy. Chairman Li would still like to see a range-topping sedan for "show-off people," but Volvo's management doesn't want to go down that road. Clearly, this won't be the last we hear about the company's existential boardroom battles.
