1991 Volvo 740 Base Wagon 4-door 2.3l Daily Driver-lots Of New Parts-runs Great on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
I bought this car last week after selling my 4x4. Although it has plenty of room, runs great and is in great condition, I am not used to sitting down so low! So I am listing it for sale and probably going to buy something that sits up a bit higher!
Runs good, looks good. This is NOT a turbo so it gets good gas mileage. I am including a TomTom GPS because the speedometer does not work and the TomTom shows your speed. Has a nice sound system and speakers with CD player. All leather interior - feels like you are sitting on the couch at home when driving - it is SOOO COMFY! The former owner recently had lots of upkeep and maintenance done to it such as new brakes, new tires, new timing belt, new battery, oil change, tune up, exhaust work. This is from what he told me last week and what he had posted in his ad. It has a newer muffler which sounds like a subaru. I require a $100 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT through PayPay within 24 hours of auction closing. Then I require the balance IN CASH when we meet IN PERSON to deliver the car to you. I am in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I will make a reasonable effort to deliver the car nearby. For example, if you are in Denver and have transportation difficulties, I may deliver it to you and take a bus home BUT this is entirely up to my discretion and work schedule. Most likely, you will need to take a bus to me and drive it home. Everything works and is good on this car except the specifics that are mentioned below: Windshield has crack & will need to be replaced, rear driver side taillight is cracked, small dent next to driver side headlight, scratch on driver side door near bottom. Speedometer & gas gauge do not work - BUT I am including a TomTom GPS which shows your MPH. (Mechanic has suggested that ground wire may be off in dash) A/C may need charge. Sunroof works but needs new seal - has tape sealing it now. I have included photos specifically of these issues. There are no guarantees whatsoever on this car as I have only had it for one week but the prior owner had maintained it well. |

2015 Volvo XC90
Wed, 27 Aug 2014
The new XC90 isn't just about the new XC90 - it's as much about the new generation of Volvos that will result.
Around the turn of the millennium, Volvo seemed like the perfect automaker to make a crossover. It had, after all, already established for itself a reputation for building all-wheel-drive wagons for transporting families in safety and comfort. But while its competitors marched one by one into the luxury utility market, Volvo held out. That was, anyway, until the debut of the original XC90 in 2002. And it's never looked back since.
2015 Volvo XC90 mule spotted testing in the snow
Thu, 21 Mar 2013The Volvo XC90 was a big step for the Swedish automaker in 2003, but the midsize crossover has changed very little since its introduction. All that's about to change as Volvo starts its initial development on the 2015 XC90, which we see for the first time in these spy shots showing a cobbled-together XC70.
Like the current XC90, the next-generation model will be both longer and wider than the XC70 - judging by the modifications made to this mule's body - which will continue to allow Volvo's flagship crossover and provide three rows of seating. The next XC90 will ride on a new platform that will eventually make up around two-thirds of all Volvo sales, called the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA).
Our shooter managed to find out the registration number for this mule, which indicated that it was powered by a five-cylinder diesel, but we expect the automaker to start stepping away from its current powertrains with a big push toward smaller engines courtesy of the new Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA). Rumor has it that the future engine lineup for the XC90 will rely heavily on turbocharged four-cylinder engines and eight-speed automatic transmissions, which will likely eliminate or lessen some of the current mills available like a straight-six or V8.
Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall
Tue, Sep 29 2015Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:
