1988 Volvo 240 GL, great condition. It just passed the California smog test with flying colors. Very low emissions. The new smog certificate is dated July 20, 2014. Clean title. It's ready to be registered to a new owner in California or anywhere else! The car is in great overall condition. The engine runs very consistently, and all the features work. Crisp-shifting automatic transmission. As discussed in the video, the car was in a fender-bender that damaged the grill and headlights, but it was fixed. You can see the repair in the photos and videos. The car has approximately 200,000 miles. My grandmother bought it in 1988, and I shipped it from Massachusetts to California in 2004. When I shipped the car, I pressed the "odometer reset" button, and with a *click* the odometer stopped working with 98,638 miles on it. The speedometer still works fine, but the odometer is frozen at 98,638. I estimate that the car now has 200,000 total miles. The paint is good although there are dings and chips all around. There is a large paint scratch on the hood- see the video. There are no big areas of paint missing. The leather is worn on the edge of the driver's seat, but it's intact. The passenger's side leather and back seat are in good condition with much less wear. The exhaust system has been almost entirely replaced. The exhaust gaskets were replaced in 2004, and the muffler, resonator, and catalytic converter were replaced more recently. The brakes have been overhauled. When our son arrived in 2013, we replaced all the brake pads and the front rotors. In the last 3 months we've replaced the master cylinder and the equalizer. So the brakes are really strong. The shocks and struts have not been replaced. The tires are worn- they will need replacing soon, especially the rear tires. All the electrical systems work. There is a Jensen cassette deck that unfortunately eats tapes. It does have an "iPod jack" to plug in your phone and play music through the stereo. I also installed Blaupunkt speakers. I know that the radio draws some current from the battery, even when the car is off. If the car is not drive, it can drain the battery in around a week. So when I park the car long-term, I remove fuse #8 which powers the radio and the power locks. This is not absolutely necessary- it takes around a week for the battery to drain. If you drive the car frequently, you can disregard this. Otherwise you can (1) do what I did and remove fuse #8 for long-term parking situations, (2) disconnect the radio entirely, or (3) get a new radio. The sunroof works well. There is some plastic chipping on the front door storage bins. Includes Volvo floor mats, extra windshield wipers, original manuals, and service manual. Maintenance highlights (does not include oil changes or smog tests) 9/16/2004 - I shipped the car from MA to CA; odometer broke at 98,638 miles when I pressed the reset button.

European new car sales drop nearly 8% in first half of 2019
Thu, Jul 18 2019PARIS — European car sales dropped 7.9% in June, led by bigger declines for Nissan, Volvo and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), according to industry data published on Wednesday. Registrations fell to 1.49 million cars last month from 1.62 million a year earlier across the European Union and EFTA countries, the Brussels-based Association of European Carmakers said in a statement. Calendar effects resulted in two fewer sales days in most markets, accentuating the decline. Registrations for the first half closed 3.1% lower, ACEA said. For European carmakers, weakening demand at home compounds the pressure from a sharper contraction in China and emerging markets that may yet bring more profit warnings. NissanÂ’s aging model lineup contributed to a 26.6% June sales slump while Volvo Cars, owned by ChinaÂ’s Geely, saw deliveries tumble 21.7%. Registrations also fell 13.5% last month at FCA, 10.1% at BMW, 9.6% at Volkswagen Group and 8.2% for both Mercedes parent Daimler and FranceÂ’s PSA Group. The Peugeot makerÂ’s domestic rival Renault suffered less, posting a 3.9% decline. By the Numbers BMW Chrysler Fiat Nissan Volkswagen Volvo Peugeot Renault
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.
Next Volvo XC90 design teased
Thu, 29 Aug 2013When Volvo took the wraps off its Concept Coupe yesterday, the Swedish automaker said that while "the all-new XC90 is an entirely different type of car, you will recognize the connection instantly when it is revealed next year." We raised our eyebrows at this upon first read, but after seeing these photos, posted on Feber.se, Volvo certainly wasn't joking.
During a press conference where the Concept Coupe debuted, teaser images of the next XC90 were shown, and the connection between it and the conceptual two-door are obvious. The long, T-shaped lighting elements in the slim headlamps are certainly the most noticeable tie between the two vehicles, but the angular lower fascia openings seen here can also be found quite prominently on the Concept Coupe.
Feber.se also has a few images showing the new taillamp and interior designs of the XC90, as well. And not surprisingly, those two facets of the new crossover's DNA are also surprisingly close to the elements found on the Concept Coupe. It's interesting to see how the concept's C-shaped taillamps have been massaged for the more upright design of the XC90's rump, and inside the cabin, it appears Volvo is serious about this vertically oriented infotainment display.
