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.

China's Geely buying majority stake in Lotus
Wed, May 24 2017Geely, the Hong Kong car company that owns Volvo, is acquiring control of British car company Lotus. Geely is purchasing a 51-percent stake in Lotus from struggling Malaysian car company Proton, and a 49.9 percent stake in Proton itself. Etika Automotive will gain the other 49 percent of Lotus. France's PSA Group and Japan's Suzuki had apparently also been interested in acquiring Proton. Geely says it plans to revive both Proton and Lotus. "The agreement lays the foundation for a wider framework for both Geely Holding, Proton and Lotus to explore joint synergies in areas such as research and development, manufacturing and market presence," Geely said in a news release. Those joint synergies will be highlighted by the lightweight chassis technology Lotus is known for, which could help Geely improve fuel efficiency. Geely CFO Daniel Donghui Li said the company aims to "unleash the full potential of Lotus Cars" by expanding and accelerating new products and technologies. Proton was nationally held but was privatized in 2007 to Malaysian conglomerate DRB-Hicom, which is owned by tycoon Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary. It was supposed to be the flagship for Malaysia's economic development.Though it owns two factories, Proton mainly rebadges foreign-made cars and sells them in Malaysia. What it has, what Geely presumably wants, is a distribution network in Southeast Asia to pit Chinese cars against Japanese automotive dominance in the region. Retaining a 50.1-percent stake in Proton is seen as a face-saving move. "Proton will always remain a national car and a source of pride, as Proton will still have a majority hold of 50.1 percent," Malaysian finance official Johari Abdul Ghani said. "Our very own much-loved brand now has a real chance in making a comeback, a huge one I hope." Related Video:
Volvo launches next-gen Sensus Connect infotainment system [w/videos]
Fri, 10 Jan 2014To borrow a line from another automaker, the Volvo S60 has the power to surprise - it's likely not top of mind for most entry-level luxury sedan buyers, but it's good enough that it probably should be. There's long been one pretty serious chink in its armor, though, and that goes for the company's entire model line: infotainment. The Swedish marque's offerings just haven't been that feature-rich, but Volvo is working to improve things with its updated Sensus Connect, a suite of functions just launched at this week's CES in Las Vegas.
The new system updates center on cloud-based connectivity advancements that include a novel Park&Pay feature that allows drivers to search for parking and pay for their space from the comfort of their car. Other functions that show off the diversity of Sensus Connect include embedded, Pandora-streaming internet radio, Wikipedia, remote start via smart phone, dealer appointment booking, destination attraction searches and an available wifi hotspot.
All of this increased functionality sounds like a big step in the right direction, and Volvo is noting it has refreshed the system's interface with "graphically themed center and driver displays" along with improved voice control and text-to-speech capabilities.
