* 1987 Volvo 240 DL Wagon * Before you and up for bid at NO RESERVE is my 1987 Volvo 240 DL Wagon. The particulars of the Volvo are as follows: * One family owned (military) since purchased new in Florida. * Non-smoker, no pets * After 5 years in Florida, the family and Volvo transferred to Virginia. * In 1997, a European assignment position was offered and the Volvo accompanied the relocation to Germany. Upon assignment conclusion, the Volvo was imported back into the states, and brought to Colorado. * CARFAX certified NO ACCIDENT history. Additionally, the ownership history including the export/import is documented within the CARFAX. (in hand) * Original paint and solid body. The clear coat on the roof is thin as is a small spot on the hood. The body is straight with good doors and panel fit. Beneath the doors and rocker panels look good with no rust. The passenger side front door has a slight scuff along with the rear wheel well, this as a result of a sliding barn door. (see pic) * After years of typical family use, including transporting two daughters through college, the Volvo has been relegated to use as a station car or for when family/friends visit Colorado. It has also proven suitable for the stacking upon of garage stuff. The minimal use no longer justifies keeping it when someone else could benefit from its daily use. * Volvo wagons are venerable for their safety & reliability...you know that. The car is # 5 on Kiplingers list of "The Top Ten Cars That Refuse To Die" article from 2011. * 5 Speed manual transmission, very desirable and difficult to source. Shifts well through all gears, good clutch. * In anticipation of the sale, the follow has just been performed: Full detail including seat removal to shampoo the carpets. New windshield, the one replaced was the factory original. New rear tail lights. New tail gate lift supports Servicing with fresh fluids and in general going through it to make sure all safety features are functional, (horn, wipers, lights, turn signals, etc.) Front alignment * 2.3 liter 4 cylinder engine, holds a smooth idle and runs well. NO annoying oil drips or leaks * Factory AC car, it is not blowing cold. The heater/defroster work fine. * Approximately 146K total miles, I say approximate, for the speedometer stopped working. A replacement cluster was sourced and installed. It indicates 166K. The original will accompany the sale. * Volvo's are not without their inherent quirks, these are usually electrical in nature and manifest in the form of erratic idiot lights displaying or the above referenced cluster/speedo/odometer issues. In the case of my 240, the rear wiper does not always return to the down position, the seat belt indicator light will remain on when belts are fastened, the emergency brake light light will also occasionally display when the brake is not set. The clock tells the correct time...twice daily. * Upgraded factory Volvo alloy wheels with matching Falken tires, good tread wear remaining. The doughnut spare has never been on the ground. Original jack, tool pouch and tire tool. * Power locks * Power steering, power brakes * There is no radio and the top of the dash has cracks typical of these cars. * Good, clear glass throughout. All windows roll up and down properly. * Nice upholstery for the front seats, they are still very supportive. The secondary row has some small cracks in the right seating area vinyl. The seat folds flat accordingly to increase the cargo capacity. The car is not equipped with the third row seat, though these are fairly easy to source if one desires. * Good headliner and sun visors. * All door and body weather stripping is soft and pliable. * Yakima roof rack included. At 27 years of age, the Volvo still looks decent, it's a clean car and a good reliable vehicle. The car is an ideal commuter, daily driver or safe economical student vehicle. Offered at NO RESERVE, you are bidding to purchase the Volvo, not to be the first to "look at it". Thank you. Please have your funding in place prior to placing your bid, as most banks will not finance a vehicle of the Volvo's age. The Volvo and I are located in the Colorado Springs vicinity. Transportation and/or shipping are the sole responsibility of the buyer. Trailered delivery is possible in the lower 48 states for $1000.00 (non-negotiable). I can recommend a reputable shipper for you, if needed. While I am confident that the Volvo could be driven home to anywhere in America, I do not recommend driving it home. Older cars are just that...older cars. Miles from home is not the place to get acquainted with your "new" older car. Get it home first. With that said, if you choose to drive it home, I can't stop you and will gladly pick you up from the airport in Colorado Springs. Inspections are welcomed and will be facillitated to the best of my ability prior to the auction concluding. If you are "new' to eBay, have 0% feedback, years of inactivity on eBay, excessive negative feedback or less than 10 transactions, you will need to CALL ME prior to placing your bid and express your intentions. Otherwise, your bid will be cancelled and you will be blocked from further bidding. This simple guideline is in place to preserve the integrity of the auction from those that would bid and then not fulfill their purchase commitment. A $1000.00 initial payment is due and payable within 24 hours of auction close VIA Paypal, NO exceptions. The balance is then due and payable within 5 days thereafter under condition and arrangement made between myself and the buyer. I prefer a legitimate bank to bank wire transfer for the balance as it provides a documented record of the transaction for both parties. Ebay provides for only 24 pictures. I have selected pictures that best present a concise overview of the car. If you would like any area specific pictures, simply request them. I answer my phone quicker than I respond to e-mail, call me directly with any questions. If you reach my voice mail, leave me a brief message and I will return your call promptly. If you would like to discuss a "buy it now", call me and PRESENT your offer. DO NOT call and ask me, "what's the lowest that you'll take?" Buyers from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence. I have represented the Volvo accurately. Given the age of the Volvo, it is understood and acknowledged to being sold in "as is" condition with no expressed, written or otherwise implied warranties. Clear Colorado title in my name. The title and the car will not be released until payment in full has been received. Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid! Jeff (719)-492-1234, c

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.
Volvo S60 Polestar Concept looking Smurfy in Jay Leno's Garage
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Is it just us, or has Jay Leno's Garage evolved from an intimate, off-the-cuff video series designed to show off the late-night comedian's automobile collection into something a lot more ambitious and... mainstream? This isn't a complaint, exactly, as Leno has been putting out engaging videos at an increasingly furious pace. However, we can't help but note that the subjects have largely graduated from the funnyman's steam-powered eccentricities and forgotten classics to lots of new production and concept cars, often with automaker execs in tow. It's almost as if the series is turning into an internet version of his NBC talk show, one where bigwigs swing by to show off their latest projects as part of their publicity tours, only instead of new movies and albums, it's cars or the occasional motorcycle.
Such is the exactly case with Volvo's stonking S60 Polestar Concept, which makes its appearance in Jay's warehouse of wonders this week. Tuned by in-house skunkworks Polestar, the "Swedish Racing Blue" S60 has certainly been making the rounds as of late, with recent appearances near Leno's garage at the LA Auto Show and an Auto Motor und Sport track faceoff against the BMW M3 and Audi RS4 Avant.
Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that Volvo is so keen to get its showcar in front of the cameras - last we heard, executives were seriously considering a small production run for their unlikely 508-horsepower, all-wheel drive sport sedan, though we continue to hear that realistic pricing is likely to be a roadblock.
Top 10 small cars with the longest total driving range
Thu, Mar 19 2015Editor's Note: Since this article was originally posted in the spring of 2015, much has changed in the automotive landscape, especially among those shopping for small car economy. With thanks to Volkswagen for their blatant cheating – and subsequent cover-up – on diesel emissions, the largest player in the diesel passenger car segment isn't playing – they're paying; billions are going for both car buybacks and federally-imposed penalties. And for a few VW execs there exists the very real possibility of jail. With the absence of a big player and the abrupt entrance – via Chevy's new Bolt – of an affordable EV with 200+ miles of range, we've limited the diesel listings to Jaguar's new XE. And for those wanting an updated look at efficiency and range, Autoblog has it – or the EPA has it. Long before electric vehicles were part of the mainstream conversation, car lovers and skinflints alike would boast about the total range of their vehicles. There's something about getting farther down the road on one tank of gas that inflames the competitive spirit, almost as much as horsepower output or top speed. Of course, the vehicles with the very best range on today's market are almost all big trucks and SUVs; virtually all have the ability to carry massive reserves of fuel. Top up a standard Chevy Suburban and you can expect to travel almost 700 miles (you'll need to stop before the Suburban stops...), while a diesel-fed Jeep Grand Cherokee manages almost as many. But what about vehicles that are smaller? The EPA has, essentially, three classifications for 'small' vehicles: Minicompact, Subcompact and Compact. All three are measured based on interior volume, meaning that some cars with rather large exterior dimensions and engines slot in next to traditional small cars. But even though impressive GT coupes from Porsche, Bentley and Mercedes-Benz may have much larger gas tanks to feed their powerful engines, that capacity is offset by higher rates of consumption... in most cases. We used the EPA's Fuel Economy Guide for model year 2017 cars as a start, calculating the official highway miles per gallon rating with each vehicle's tank capacity. The resulting numbers aren't necessarily real world, but they do offer a spectrum for total theoretical range. The eventual top ten surprised me on a few occasions, and comprised quite a varied list of vehicles. 10.
