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.

Volvo S80 nip/tuck spotted in China

Sun, 16 Dec 2012

An early look at the new face of the Volvo S80 has made its way to the web. The Chinese site Auto Sina spotted a revised version of the country's S80L out in public and in plain view. Not too long ago, Doug Speck, the global head of marketing and sales for Volvo, said designers were working on a mild facelift for the S60 and S80, and while it is possible the Swedish manufacturer will roll out a different front fascia for the US market, the move seems unlikely.
The S80L seen here boats a tweaked grille and a Passat-inspired lower valance. New wheels and side-view mirrors also appear to be part of the update, as does a modified rear bumper and exhaust outlets. Volvo is set to debut the facelifed S80 next year, and while the manufacturer hasn't delivered an exact time frame, good money is on the vehicle showing up at the Detroit Auto Show in January or the Geneva Motor Show in March. Stay tuned for more information.

Volvo shows glimpses of new Concept C Coupe ahead of Frankfurt [w/video]

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Volvo has released a short teaser video for a concept car that will be unveiled on August 29 ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show. At first glance, it would appear to be nothing more than a few sketches and some words from Volvo design boss Thomas Ingenlath, but at about the 11-second mark, four images are flashed on the screen revealing the true nature of the video - the Volvo Concept C Coupe.
As Inglenlath suggests in the video, this new concept is designed to help bring more excitement to the brand's lineup, and from what we can tell in these strategically captured shots, the company is definitely on to something. While we don't get too much of look from any one angle, the front reveals what appears to be a concave version of Volvo's signature grille and the side shows off a stylish greenhouse. We have to wonder, do these images confirm the identity of the mystery concept car that's been floating around the Internet this week? In either case, our favorite view is perhaps the rear shot giving us a glimpse of the car's name as well as its flat, wide haunches and C-shaped taillights.
Scroll down to watch the whole video, and if you don't have a trigger-quick mouse finger, don't worry. We made a gallery of screen shots showing the four embedded images.
