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.

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.
Next-generation Volvo XC90 interior revealed
Tue, 27 May 2014Volvo has officially kicked off the slow burn that will lead to the eventual unveiling of the next-generation XC90, in August. Its initial foray into the public eye will be with these, a series of 20 images of the new three-row SUVs interior, which is very, very Swedish (there are even the most adorable little Swedish flags on the seats).
In all, it looks like a positively sumptuous place to sit, with sharp looking woods and a crystal shifter, crafted by Orrefors Glassworks in Sweden. It's a clean, minimalist design that we imagine will age quite nicely.
Featured quite prominently - and the main part of the cabin that doesn't strike us as minimalist - is the very large touchscreen. Aligned in a portrait layout, which hasn't been done by too many automakers, it will be home to a new type of infotainment system that will make its debut in Volvo's flagship SUV. It also looks like we can expect digital gauges when the XC90 finally arrives.
Geely to release models developed with Volvo in 2015
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Geely and Volvo will finally team up for a jointly developed vehicle, more than three years after the safety-minded Swedish brand was gobbled up by Geely's parent company, according to a report in Automotive News Europe. The story quotes Geely's CEO, Gui Sheng Yue saying, "We have entered into actual research and development stage and I believe we can see the new product in the year after next."
That means 2015, which is a mighty ambitious timetable to bring a vehicle to market. But as Geely's CEO explains, life isn't going to get any easier in the Chinese market, "Competitive pressure on domestic brands in the China market should increase considerably in the coming years as most major international brands are strengthening their presence," he told ANE. Those statements also tell us that we shouldn't expect to see Geely on American shores any time soon. The brand is simply too focused on topping the Chinese market, at least among CDM brands.
