Volvo 240 Dl Wagon - Well-preserved, Great For The Volvo Enthusiast on 2040-cars
Bothell, Washington, United States
|
I'm selling to fellow Volvo enthusiasts a well-preserved but with patina 1985 Volvo 240 wagon. I bought this car from the original owner in Whidbey Island last year. My dad bought a similar brand new one back in 1983 and we kept in the family until it got sadly totaled two years ago. Amazingly, its original engine was still running well at close to 500,000 miles.
Back to this car, I found this car on a quest for another well-taken cared Volvo 240 and for a fun car project with my Dad. As you may see from photos, the car's original paint and interior has lasted very well especially for its mileage. The original owner always had the car garaged. The clock is clear but has stopped working; the original radio works. The AC also works well as a defroster with the infamously warm Volvo heater. I not only have receipts of all the work done since I bought it, but also receipts since it was brand new. I even have the original window sticker (purchased in Portland) for this car! My goal was to enjoy mechanically sorting this car with my dad. A vast majority of the work was done by Volvo mechanics, while we did source the parts from IPD and some eBay original parts sellers. I have the receipts for the work done, but here is a list: Timing belt and tensioner, etc. Water pump Distributor Coil wires Spark plugs Seals/gaskets All oil changes and filters - engine, transmission, differential Engine compression test Radiator flush and hose replacements Engine wire harness Header and complete cat back exhaust (properly welded) Ignition control unit Neutral safety switch Fuel rail Ball joints Steering rod IPD sway bars Bilstein heavy duty shocks and struts All new Michelin tires New brake lines and master cylinder Engine breather/flame trap Fuel pump relay New oil dipstick Minor dent removal Rust inhibitor application Headlights Extra parts but not installed (not needed at this time): Extra water pump Suspension bushings In-tank fuel pump kit Brake junction block As mentioned, I also have the receipts from the original owners including ECM replacement, regular oil changes, steering rack and boot work,timing belt replacements, tires, motor mounts. The list goes on; the best thing is to come take a look at the car and see for yourself. Anyway, I've been reliably daily driving the car for the last several weeks to/from Seattle and Eastside. I'm very happy with the way it drives and handles. Alas, it's time for another fun project with my retired Dad. This is the Volvo "brick" wagon for you if you're looking for: 1. A nicely preserved and reliable daily-driver 2. Depreciation-free (though more of these cars seem to be gaining price-wise) 3. Great provenance/history. Reserve is much lower than our expenses. Serious inquiries only please. I can be available for a live discussion: (425) seven 5 0 5 0 seven 5. Happy motoring! |

Sunday Drive: Volvo hits a crossover home run, and people still love sports cars
Sun, Sep 24 2017Looking back at the week that just was clearly tells us at least three things. First, crossovers don't have to be boring. Second, people still love sports cars, from the attainable (Audi TT RS) to the fanciful (Mercedes-AMG GT C). And finally, the traditional German trio of premium luxury brands had better not rest on their laurels, because credible challengers are coming in from every direction. The biggest reveal of the week, at least judging by the interest of Autoblog readers, was the Volvo XC40. Not only is the little 'ute a looker, it introduces some innovative new buying/leasing schemes designed to appeal to an audience accustomed to trading in and trading up every couple of years. Think of Volvo's flat-fee lease as you would a smartphone contract, and you'll be on the right track. Genesis looks to have a hit on its hands in the form of the G70 sport sedan. We took a Korean-spec model for a spin and found a lot to like about the upstart contender. We can't wait to sample one here in the United States to see how it stacks up against the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In other news, we're still really excited to see a production Ford Ranger Raptor. But if you just can't wait for the official reveal — it's OK, neither can we — take a look at the renderings in our post down below. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry.

Volvo's Geneva-bound concept wagon looks sexy in a raincoat
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Volvo is set to complete its concept car trilogy at the next month's Geneva Motor Show with the debut of its Concept Estate, the followup to its Concept Coupe from the Frankfurt Motor Show and Concept XC Coupe from the Detroit Auto Show. We've been looking forward to its Swiss debut, and now some teaser images of the Concept Estate have been uncovered... on the website of a raincoat seller?
Yes, Swedish raincoat maker Stutterheim has apparently been commissioned by Volvo to build a high-quality car cover for its Geneva concept, and the fabricator's website shows off some of the details of the long-roofed design study. From what we can see, it looks like the Concept Estate is more shooting brake than traditional wagon. Also, it's brown. So basically, Volvo has built the ultimate car for auto journalists.
Joking aside, the images show off more than a few of the design traits we've seen on Volvo's two previous concept cars. A wide, rectangular grille and lowercase-B-shaped taillights are both noticeable in these teasers, but we can't see much more than that.
Apple CarPlay drawing early safety concerns [w/video]
Sun, 09 Mar 2014Apple's CarPlay infotainment system hasn't made it into a single vehicle yet, and it's already drawing criticism for distracting drivers among safety advocates. The new tech unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show pairs users' iPhones with the car's dashboard display to make calls, dictate messages and listen to music. Some automakers, like Volvo, also let users interact with the HVAC system from the screen.
"The idea that people want to be on their phones, and therefore let's give them a way to do that -- that's not putting safety first, that's putting convenience and the desire to be in touch first," said Bruce Hamilton, manager of research and communications at the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, to CNN Money.
Distracted driving is a huge concern on modern roads with more vehicles allowing drivers to use their smartphones through Bluetooth and infotainment systems. A Texas A&M study found that drivers' reaction time doubled while dictating text messages, according to CNN Money. The new tech is certainly not making drivers pay more attention.
