1985 Volvo 740 Gle Sedan 4-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
Boulder City, Nevada, United States
This is my 1986 Volvo 740 I'm the second owner of this completely original vehicle. The original owner is a client of my wife's and quit driving at 86. I've been using it as a daily driver since December 2013. It has performed flawlessly. I've put new tires(warranty transferrable 60,000 mile), stainless MagnaFlow exhaust, timing belt (it didn't need one), hoses and belts, serviced the transmission, changed oil 3 times to full synthetic,all filters including fuel filter, A/C compressor new and converted to R34 works perfect. The car was originally titled in California in January of 85 then moved to Arizona. It's never been in snow or salt. Built in Sweden November 84. It is 100% original and rust free. No accidents. Power windows (all working), power antenna (working), am/fm cassette (all working). I've put 10,000 miles on it without a single problem. No broken glass, no dents, dings,or major scratches. It has been garage kept since new. The interior has no rips and the carpet is like new. The head liner has some wear and small tears. (new headliner is around $200 if you choose to replace it). It has a manual sunroof which works perfectly and does not leak air or water. The motor is extremely clean and uses zero oil. The car is in remarkable condition. I would drive it anywhere without concern. The brakes (4 wheel disc) are at 90%. It has all original manuals and warranty records. If I had a bigger garage it would not be for sale.

Volvo C30 Polestar Concept hits the 'Ring
Mon, 05 Aug 2013It's been over three years since the Volvo C30 Polestar Concept was unveiled, driven by journalists and, as it turns out, lapped around the Nürburgring with Scandinavian Touring Car Championship driver Robert Dahlgren behind the wheel. For whatever reason, the video of the 'Ring track session was only published by the tuning company yesterday. (Another discrepancy: Did Polestar's C30 lose 46 horsepower somewhere along the line? Because the video states that it has 405 hp, while the company's website quotes 451 hp...)
Whatever the case, the tuned Volvo is a beast, much more so than the similar-looking, 250-hp 2013 Volvo C30 Polestar Limited Edition that was sold last year. With 451 hp (sounds better than 405 hp, doesn't it?), all-wheel drive, limited-slip differentials front and rear and Öhlins dampers, the Polestar Concept checks all of the right boxes for us.
For some reason, the video, which you can watch below, seems a bit vanilla to us. Perhaps the overly dramatic music takes away from the action and the beautiful sounds of the turbocharged five-cylinder engine?
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).

Geely to release models developed with Volvo in 2015
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Geely and Volvo will finally team up for a jointly developed vehicle, more than three years after the safety-minded Swedish brand was gobbled up by Geely's parent company, according to a report in Automotive News Europe. The story quotes Geely's CEO, Gui Sheng Yue saying, "We have entered into actual research and development stage and I believe we can see the new product in the year after next."
That means 2015, which is a mighty ambitious timetable to bring a vehicle to market. But as Geely's CEO explains, life isn't going to get any easier in the Chinese market, "Competitive pressure on domestic brands in the China market should increase considerably in the coming years as most major international brands are strengthening their presence," he told ANE. Those statements also tell us that we shouldn't expect to see Geely on American shores any time soon. The brand is simply too focused on topping the Chinese market, at least among CDM brands.
