Clean Volvo 242 on 2040-cars
Troutdale, Oregon, United States
|
Up for sale is my 242. Ive owned this car for about 4 years and I'm about ready to move on to another car. Over the 4 years, I've done a ton of maintenance and service, as well as a few upgrades. These include: timing belt and v belts with all new oem seals, new water pump, alternator and voltage regulator, completly rebuilt wiring harness, clutch, practically every fuel injection component has been replaced, all tune up parts, everything. The motor runs great and the transmission shifts smooth. The car handles very well, and the suspension has been upgraded with coil overs, poly bushings, ipd adjustable torque rods and panard rod, and the little stuff like ball joints and tie rod ends have been replaced. For wheels, it has Eiker e1's in 17x7.5 in good shape with no curbing with brand new tires in 215/45/17 with warrantees. The interior is in very good shape as well, its blue cloth and vinyl trim and its all intact. The stereo is in the lower position by the shifter, and it has vdo vision gauges in the upper spot by the gauge cluster. Everything works as it should and the car drives well. I get compliments on it all the time and it's even won a couple awards. 242's are getting hard to find in this good of shape. Im pretty firm on the price. $6500 With wheels $5500 without thanks for looking! Willing to take some parts off to negotiate price any questions just message me |

Volvo to unveil permanent high-beam headlamp technology [w/video]
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Volvo will be showing off its Active High Beam technology at the Geneva Motor Show next week. The system will allow drivers to use their high beams all the time and adds another responsibility to the cameras mounted by the rearview mirror, making them detect traffic ahead, whether it be another car or a truck or motorcycle and in the same lane or oncoming. When a vehicle is detected, a special projector in the Xenon lamps can block out only the portion of the high beam that would impair the other driver. Volvo says the system is accurate down to a 1.5-inch margin around another object.
Active High Beam will be fitted to the Volvo S60, V60 and XC60 and we have to assume they mean the non-US versions of those cars. Audi has a similar technology that it calls "matrix beam lighting," and due to the way the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard code is written, such active control of high beams is verboten on cars sold here.
The Swedish brand also plans to present a collision-avoidance technology it's calling a "world-first." The press release below has more information and the accompanying video demonstrates the lighting tech.
Scratch that new crossover, Volvo teases ad campaign for XC60
Sun, 26 May 2013If we were to paraphrase the opening lines of Kenneth Graeme's Wind in the Willows for our own purposes, we'd write, "Have you heard about Volvo? They never planned a new crossover at all. It was all a horrid low trick of theirs...." To be fair, though, we can't blame them for our own presumption. When the Swedish car company created a site called LeaveTheWorldBehind.com and teased a couple of videos for some kind of collaboration with Swedish House Mafia, we thought the crossover in one of the teasers pointed to a new vehicle on the way.
Turns out that's not the case. It really is 'just' a collaboration with the band on a music video for Swedish artist Lune's cover of their 2009 song, Leave the World Behind.
But there are Volvos in it, and you can watch it below and hear original song alongside. We've also included the press release with more details on why it all came together, and a behind-the-scenes video on the collabo. To paraphrase Forrest Gump, "That's all we have to say about that."
Volvo wants this car to be the Crown Vic of global police fleets
Mon, 18 Nov 2013It has been years since the last Ford Crown Victoria rolled off the assembly line, but these body-on-frame sedans are still the most recognizable police cars in the US. Volvo is making a strong push in hopes that its XC70 can attain the same level of success as a global police car. As it is, Volvo is a popular choice for police cars in its home country of Sweden, but its cars are also used in police fleets in the UK, Belgium and Switzerland.
With an upgraded chassis, Volvo is looking to attract agencies from around the globe, including the rest of Europe, Asia and even the Americas. Changes over a stock 2014 XC70 include a beefier suspension setup, and the automaker has also tested the police-spec version of the jacked-up wagon in just about all conditions it could encounter in Europe - from the high speeds of the German autobahn to the low traction of Sweden's snowy, winter roads. We doubt we'll see many, if any, of these Volvos policing the streets of the US, but if we do, we're sure it will be in New England, Colorado or North Carolina.
