1989 VOLVO 740 GLE WAGON

5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION

VERY LOW MILEAGE!! (FOR THE YEAR)- IT WAS ONLY DRIVEN 6,500 MILES PER YEAR ON AVERAGE!


CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED

THE ENGINE RUNS EXCELLENT. IT HAS THE WELL KNOWN, DURABLE B230 MOTOR. 
THIS IS NOT A TURBO CHARGED ENGINE (NON TURBOS ARE MORE RELIABLE)

THE CLUTCH IS FINE, NO SLIPPING OR BEARING NOISES. THIS IS A 'REAL' 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION. SOME MANUAL VOLVOS HAD THE 4 SPEED MANUAL WITH THE OVERDRIVE SOLENOID BUTTON.

THE TIMING BELT, WATER PUMP, VOLVO DRIVE BELTS, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, UPPER AND LOWER RADIATOR HOSES WERE REPLACED WITHIN THE LAST 10,000 MILES. THE ALTERNATOR REGULATOR WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO.

THE CAR DRIVES EXCELLENT, YOU WOULD NOT THINK YOU ARE DRIVING A 25 YEAR OLD CAR. WHEELS ARE BALANCED. EVEN AT 80 MPH THE CAR DRIVES WITH NO PROBLEMS, VERY SMOOTH RIDE. SHOCKS AND STRUTS ARE VERY GOOD. NOTHING RATTLING. THE BRAKES FEEL EXCELLENT. THERE ARE NO SQUEALS, VIBRATIONS ETC....

HEAD LIGHTS , TAIL LIGHTS , AND MARKER LIGHTS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION

MATCHING BLIZZAK TIRES ARE EXCELLENT

COMES WITH ORIGINAL MANUALS

THE ORIGINAL STEREO WORKS PERFECT- I NEVER USED THE TAPE DECK. THE KNOBS ARE NOT GOOEY (SOME THIS AGE FEEL GUMMY FROM THE HEAT AND AGE). THE POWER ANTENNA MOTOR WORKS, SOMETIMES THE ANTENNA WILL STICK, LIKELY NEEDS TO BE GREASED.

THE CAR HAS HEATED SEATS

POWER WINDOWS AND POWER LOCKS ARE WORKING FINE.

THE SEATS ARE A REALLY NICE, SPORTY SPLIT CLOTH/LEATHER TYPE YOU HAD TO PAY EXTRA TO GET AS A CUSTOM ORDER. THEY HOLD UP MUCH BETTER THAN THE STANDARD LEATHER ONES YOU USUALLY SEE.

PAINT SEEMS TO BE ALL ORIGINAL. THERE IS A SMALL SPOT OR TWO OF PAINT THAT PEELED OFF, SOME MINOR PAINT CRACKING ON THE HOOD.

THERE IS A DING ON THE REAR DOOR, KIND OF HARD TO SEE FROM THE PICTURES...
THE REST OF THE BODY IS EXCELLENT FOR AN 1989!

THE A/C BLOWS COLD & THE HEAT IS BLAZING HOT!

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WORKS FINE

MANUAL SUNROOF SEEMS TO BE GOOD. THEY NEVER BREAK!

THE EXHAUST- THE REAR MUFFLER PIPE IS BROKEN IN THE BACK. EXHAUST IS NOISY. I WILL SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT REPAIRED & I WILL POST AN UPDATE IF WE GET IT DONE. IT SEEMS LIKE AN EASY REPAIR. 

I HAVE A CLEAR, CLEAN, LIEN FREE VIRGINIA TITLE IN HAND!

THE CAR HAS A CURRENT VIRGINIA INSPECTION

IF I CAN THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE I WILL UPDATE. PLEASE ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE BEFORE YOU PLACE A BID!



THIS 25 YEAR OLD CAR IS SOLD AS-IS!

Polestar looking to tune Volvo CUVs

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Volvo is getting serious about emerging from the fringes and into the mainstream of the luxury automobile market. But if it's going to challenge the Germans, it's going to need a performance line. And that's just what it's developing with Polestar.
Building on the motorsport partnership that has seen Polestar represent Volvo in the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship, World Touring Car Championship and V8 Supercars series, Polestar has been charged with developing road-going performance Volvos as well. It currently offers comprehensively tuned versions of the S60 and V60, as well as engine upgrades for other models, but the latest word has it that Polestar will turn its attention next to tuning Volvo crossovers like the XC60 and the new XC90, pictured above in top-spec R-Design trim.
Details on how Volvo would modify those models remain to be determined, but it wouldn't be much of a stretch to imagine the XC60 outfitted with similar enhancements to those offered on its sedan and wagon stablemates to mount a challenge to the Audi SQ5. As for the larger XC90, it seems Volvo is already squeezing as much out of its new 2.0-liter triple-charged inline-four as it can, but more aggressive handling, aero and brakes could stand to transform the flagship crossover in pursuit of performance utes like the Mercedes ML63 AMG and BMW X5 M, even if it couldn't quite match their impressive horsepower outputs.

12 best hybrid SUVs for 2022

Tue, Jun 15 2021

If you're searching for the best hybrid SUV, the truth is there actually aren't that many choices. While there's an endless sea of those powered solely by gasoline, those that add batteries and superior fuel economy to the mix are few and far between. The very good news, however, is that the choices you have are actually excellent. The top-selling and top-rated Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are not only available as hybrids, for instance, but are actually at their most appealing as hybrids.  Luxury hybrid SUVs are a different story. While Lexus offers each of its crossover SUVs as a conventional hybrid, those of other brands are by and large plug-in hybrids that provide a relatively brief amount of all-electric propulsion, superior fuel economy and higher prices that are somewhat countered by EV tax rebates. We include both conventional hybrids and plug-in hybrids in the below list of best hybrid SUVs. All are listed alphabetically within each category. Best small hybrid SUVs   |   Best midsize hybrid SUVs Best luxury hybrid SUVs   |   Best luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs Best small hybrid SUVs Honda CR-V Hybrid Why it stands out: Best-in-class back seat space; hybrid's distinctive EV-like power delivery; middle lower LATCH anchorCould be better: Antiquated and glitchy tech interface; a bit dull Hybrid fuel economy: 38 mpg combined (AWD only) Read our 2022 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, strong safety ratings and well-regarded reliability. In terms of its hybridness, we like that Honda's distinctive hybrid system sees most of its propulsion handled by the electric motor (the engine rarely powers the wheels directly), resulting in a more EV-like, torque-rich power delivery and a less obtrusive gas engine. For the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, the CR-V Hybrid checks every box.    Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Why it stands out: Beautiful interior; excellent infotainment and safety technology; traditional automatic transmissionCould be better: No spare tire; styling a tad outrageous Hybrid fuel economy: 37-38 mpg combined (AWD only) Plug-in hybrid electric range: 33 miles Plug-in hybrid fuel economy: 80 MPGe Read our 2022 Hyundai Tucson Review The Tucson is the new kid in town and it's made quite an entrance.

This Volvo truck is for the birds... literally

Fri, 16 Nov 2012

If you were mentally scarred by the Alfred Hitchcock thriller The Birds, you may not want to watch this video. For everyone else, this is a rather perplexing event. It appears that thousands of pigeons are released from a Volvo truck at the command of a whistle. It looks visually stunning, but for what purpose? Well, we're not entirely sure, but it looks to be the simultaneous release at the start of a major pigeon race.
Now, we don't suspect that Volvo has eschewed its self-titled Volvo Ocean Race for a more avian-inspired competition. We're also not quite sure where this competition is being held, but it may be an annual event, as we also found a similar video with a different MAN rig on YouTube that was posted in 2011. but if you have even the slightest case of Ornithophobia, you best steer clear of this feathered mob. Otherwise, check out the video of this massive flock on the move in the video below. We've even thrown in a video of the gas station scene from Hitchcock's 1963 classic to get you in the mood.
