This 1989 VOLVO 240DL is being offered for sale with NO RESERVE price.  This car would be good for one of a couple situations:


1) It could be used for parts.  Since it has low miles, the parts from it are probably better than a lot of used parts you might find.  I thought about parting it out myself, but I am in the middle of remodeling a house, and I just don't have the time.
2) I believe it could be fixed up by someone who can do engine work, and it would result in a pretty good car. Other than the engine, I don't believe there would be much more significant expense that would be required to make this a daily driven car in nice condition.

The bad news:
This car overheated.  I took it to my mechanic and he said that the head gasket was probably damaged.  I am not a mechanic, so please don't ask me detailed questions about what it will take to repair it.  If you don't know what this means, you should not bid on this vehicle.  My mechanic did not tear into it, but he seemed to be fairly confident of his diagnosis.  For the purposes of bidding, you should assume the engine does not work (although I can occasionally get it started, it runs very rough).  It is not drivable, so it will require towing to move. I do not have towing capability, so you will have to get it where it is going.  

On the drivers side, there are a couple spots of surface rust around the rear wheel well and lower kick panel.  On the passenger side, there is also some surface rust the corner of a door, and a quarter-sized hole in the kick panel.

New Volvo ad remembers the joy of rear-facing jump seats

Mon, 19 May 2014

With the rise in popularity of first the minivan and later the crossover as the default family vehicle, there have been about 20 years of children who have missed out on the joy of rear-facing jump seats in station wagons. It means kids today don't know the pleasure to be found in making faces or lewd gestures at other drivers while their parents can't see. Plus, they don't know the slightly nauseous feeling of watching the world pass by in reverse. However, a group of filmmakers look back with nostalgia at this increasingly uncommon automotive feature in a new ad for the 2015 Volvo V60.
As part of its sponsorship of the National Film Festival for Talented Youth, Volvo commissions a team each year to create an advertisement to be shown during the festival. This year's shows how the company's buyers have gone from riding in the back to driving the brand's cars. Scroll down to check out the charming ad, along with some wistful looks at classic Volvo wagons, before the jump seat is forgotten.
