Volvo 240 Diesel 1984 on 2040-cars
Rockwood, Ontario, Canada
|
Rare six cylinder volvo diesel in good condition and runs like a dream. Krown rust control protected for the last 15 years and other protection since new.. Solid metal, no rust. Complete stainless steel exhaust installed, complete new front brakes, new rear shocks, motor mounts in May have seen very little milage as we have other vehicles. Michelin touring tires have seen very little mileage. Manual sun roof, power locks work like new, manual windows. This car is heavy and comfortable like an old Caddy and built like a tank but the diesel engine is very easy on fuel. Does not use oil between changes. No fancy electronics to malfunction. Selling because it is my wife's car and she wanted something new. This car was not used as a commuter. All existing milage has been country driven which is the reason it's a bit higher but this is a Volvo diesel. The diesel requires very little maintenance unlike a gasoline engine and of course over designed to run indefinitely with regular oil changes and normal maintenance. The interior is a Lille bit worn due to the age but is still in fair condition. The car was repainted about 6 years ago and still looks fair. Some of the bulb covers have the usual cracks. This rare classic automobile just needs to be appreciated and loved by someone. Etest exempt. Selling as is because it is currently not being used and is sitting in a storage garage. |

2014 Volvo V60 to start at $35,300*
Tue, 31 Dec 2013When Volvo announced US pricing for its updated 2014 model line, it left one vital model out of the equation: that would be the V60, the long-roofed version of the S60 sedan and the long-awaited replacement for the V70 wagon that left our shores nearly four years ago. But if you look at the V60's product page now, you'll see a starting MSRP listed at $35,300. That represents a $2,900 premium over the S60 and an $800 premium over the larger (but older) XC70 softroader.
Delve further into the online configuration tool and you'll see that the price is applied, naturally, to the base turbocharged five-cylinder, front-drive model. Go for the Premier or Platinum trims and the price begins to climb, as it does with the addition of all-wheel drive, the turbo six engine and the R-Design spec. You'll also need to account for the *$915 destination charge. Tick all the boxes and you'll soon be looking at a price tag of over $50,000. Order books open with the start of the new year.
Volvo working to allow groceries delivered to your car, even when you aren't there
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Volvo cites research showing that 60 percent of online shoppers had problems with their deliveries in 2013, and that missed first deliveries cost the industry roughly one billion euros ($1.37B US) in re-delivery costs, as impetus for its "Roam Delivery Service" that delivers packages to your car. The service uses Volvo On Call and Sensus Connect car-connectivity and telematics apps already installed in vehicles, and a digital key with a timed window of operation.
The car owner is notified if delivery to or pickup from the car would be the best option, which they then have the option to approve or decline. If approved, the position of the vehicle is sent to the delivery driver, as well as a digital key that can open the car. Once the delivery has been made, the owner is notified and the digital key is erased, leaving only a time stamp to record when the car was opened and then locked.
The technology will be shown to the public at the Mobile World Congress later this month. There's a video and a press release below with more on the details.
Current Volvo XC90 to live on in China?
Fri, 28 Mar 2014The current, long-serving Volvo XC90 might not be going away as soon as we thought - at least not in China. According to word from CarNewsChina, the crossover's production will be moved to Daqing, China, in December and from that point on, be built at Geely's factory. The only available engine will be a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder.
According to the report, the present XC90 and the imminent next-generation model will both be sold in the market, but the Chinese-made vehicle will be positioned as a cheaper alternative. Geely will also develop a crossover of its own from the platform that should be ready in late 2015.
Volvo plans to launch the new XC90 later this year to replace the aging model, which has been on the market for over a decade. It will ride on the company's new Scaleable Product Architecture platform and will be powered by the automaker's new Drive-E four-cylinder engine family. Hybrid versions will also be available.
