GOTTA MAKE ROOM IN THE DRIVEWAY. I've got 7 cars. One other is for sale. I will keep the one that doesn't sell.

Becoming more and more rare, this 1986 Volvo 245 is in excellent condition for it's age. It does have 255K miles but runs strong. You could drive this car anywhere. It will easily go another 200K miles if taken care of. It is very clean. Minor surface rust here and there but very minor and no rust through or rot.

It is a 4 speed w/overdrive manual which adds to the fun of this car.

CHECK OUT THAT CUP HOLDER!

I will probably forget what has been done to it but here are some:

Timing Belt and water pump at 253K miles. New Radiator. All belts replaced at the same time.

Recent tune up plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, air filter, synthetic oil, filter, Sea foamed.

New A/C condenser, R134 conversion. Blows decently cold for a Volvo.

Decent but not perfect paint job a couple of years ago. I rate the paint/body at 8/10

Tinted windows.

IPD sways, newer shocks and struts, rear bushings.

High quality seat covers.

High quality all weather mats.

Aftermarket radio w/iPod and Pandora control.

Aftermarket keyless entry.

HID Euro Style "E" code headlights and front turn signals (a $400 conversion) Fog lights (dash switch conversion to operate when rear fog switch is turned on).

Side Markers, Daytime running light conversion, Third brake light flasher modification, extra brake light modification.

All interior trim and plastics in great condition. Dash cap on dash plus dash cover.

All interior lights work including cluster and console. Under hood mercury switch light even works.

Tailgate wiring harnesses replaced: everything works; defroster, wiper, washer. Both washer motors replaced.

I am always tinkering with the car since these old Volvos require that, so I may have made other improvements/mods/repairs that I can't think of. Just ask. No the clutch hasn't been changed since I owned her about 6 months. Probably will need bushings in the front soon. Very tight driving but sometimes there is a clunk that sounds like a worn bushing. Doesn't affect drivability and I do not hesitate to take her anywhere.

This car is solid, clean, rare, looks great, runs great. Perfect for a collector, high school kid who wants a cool car, perfect surfer dude car if only we lived near the beach!

I would entertain offers with the stock wheels and generic hubcaps if the price seems too high.

12-year-old golfer wins Volvo for hole-in-one [w/video]

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Some people just have all of the luck. Natasha Oon, a 12-year-old girl in Malaysia, was recently attending the 40th RSGC Ladies Amateur Open Championship at the Royal Selangor Golf Club with her parents. On a whim, she teed up a shot with her eight iron and scored a hole-in-one. That would have been impressive for a girl her age by any standards, but she didn't see the sign that said making the shot also won her a new Volvo XC60 T5. Not a bad prize for a tween who won't be allowed to drive for at least a few years.
So what does any good 12-year-old do with a CUV? Give it to her parents of course. According to website Paultan, she plans on giving the crossover to her mom and told her, "this is the car that you will use to drive me to school every day." Scroll down to watch video of Oon receiving the oversized key to the Volvo with her family and a brief interview with her about what she was thinking when she found out she won a car for sinking a fantastic shot.

Volvo offers up more details on 2015 XC90 and its new infotainment system

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

We have more details on the 2015 Volvo XC90 and the all-new, touch-heavy infotainment system that will debut with it. An expansion of the Sensus system, as we've shown you before, we now know the new system won't only sport a large, vertically oriented touchscreen, but a head-up display and the ability to manage the systems via wheel-mounted buttons.
Key to the entire experience are the large, portrait-oriented touchscreen, a head-up display and the thumb controls you can see on the face of the steering wheel in the image above. Volvo is claiming that this combination will be easier to use and, fittingly for the Swedish manufacturer, safer.
"Using the screen is so logical that it will become part of your muscle memory very quickly," said Dr. Peter Mertens, Volvo's senior vice president of research and development. "Information, navigation and media are high up and easy to check. The phone controls, application icons and climate controls are located low, comfortable to reach and touch. All of this logic is based on extensive usability and user experience research and the latest technology."
