NEEDS MOTOR

Car has 140 thousand miles and there's metal flakes in the oil, hard knocking and oil inside the tailpipe.  Tow truck driver said, "dang, that's a shame; that's a really nice looking car"

Volvo Dealer wants $6700 out the door including free two week loaner for a lifetime guaranteed motor.  We can't afford it although the least expensive V50 we've found on Craigslist is $8500 so if you were already looking and want to swap the motor, it's a possibility.  If you have a garage and are able to swap the motor you could save thousands.  The most expensive motors are $2500 on eBay and the least expensive way to do this would be to buy a 5 cylinder Volvo engine that was in an accident from an insurance auction or your local junkyard.  In New England these motors are common. I've seen these motors as inexpensive as $600.  Should be a two day, 16 hour, job.

Recent IPD sway bar and Bilstein HD suspension all around.  Later wide-spaced, V O L V O liftgate emblem.  Recent timing belt and water pump.  Transmission shifts smoothly and had a fluid change recently.  Comes with file folder of service records.  Includes two keys.  The second key cost me nearly $400.  The key is so expensive because the encryption key between the key and car is only also stored in Gothenberg Sweden.

We bought this off-lease and it always consumed a quart between changes.  Still was fast, fun to drive and a great car but yeah, we feel jilted as the old volvo 240 wagon we gave away is still a daily driver with 375k miles on it. 

Has roof rails.  This is a beautiful car, showing only wear from the first lessee.  Safest side impact air bags, latch system,  we pulled off 37mpg for a highway tank full once, hypermiling on a trip out West.

We feel jilted as the old volvo 240 wagon we gave away is still a daily driver with 375k miles on it.  Couple dings on this one, some bigger than others, needs rear hubs ($200 for the pair) I'm taking the two day-old tires and possibly the battery but if I do it will have used tires, a functional battery and be drivable (for less expensive car carrier transportation.) Clear title, runs.  I have the Volvo VADIS software which walks you through the engine swap but we are a one car family so I need something now.  It's worth $300 in scrap and the local Volvo shop will swap labor for it as a parts so first bid is $400.

Would make a great base for an electric conversion.  Front clip and rear clip would be worth the starting bid.

Heico jacks up Volvo V40 Cross Country to create XC40

Sat, 24 May 2014

Because life isn't fair, we don't get the stylish wagon known as the Volvo V40 in the United States. That means we don't get its soft-roading cousin, the V40 Cross Country. So, naturally, if Volvo tuner Heico Sportiv ever produces this ruggedized, XC-styled V40 Cross Country, it most certainly wouldn't cross the pond, either.
That makes us sad, because despite holding a tiny bit of contempt for small luxury crossovers, this is a very, very cool looking vehicle. It's just a render right now, but Heico Sportiv is looking to offer the kit to V40 Cross Country owners who want a smaller version of the Volvo XC60.
Converting a V40 CC into an XC40 would start with some suspension tweaks. The ride height would be raised by just over an inch, in order to improve the looks of the soft-roader and deliver a more CUV-like ingress and egress. New shocks would also be fitted, as well. Wheel-arch extensions were also added to complete the look.

European new car sales drop nearly 8% in first half of 2019

Thu, Jul 18 2019

PARIS — European car sales dropped 7.9% in June, led by bigger declines for Nissan, Volvo and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), according to industry data published on Wednesday. Registrations fell to 1.49 million cars last month from 1.62 million a year earlier across the European Union and EFTA countries, the Brussels-based Association of European Carmakers said in a statement. Calendar effects resulted in two fewer sales days in most markets, accentuating the decline. Registrations for the first half closed 3.1% lower, ACEA said. For European carmakers, weakening demand at home compounds the pressure from a sharper contraction in China and emerging markets that may yet bring more profit warnings. NissanÂ’s aging model lineup contributed to a 26.6% June sales slump while Volvo Cars, owned by ChinaÂ’s Geely, saw deliveries tumble 21.7%. Registrations also fell 13.5% last month at FCA, 10.1% at BMW, 9.6% at Volkswagen Group and 8.2% for both Mercedes parent Daimler and FranceÂ’s PSA Group. The Peugeot makerÂ’s domestic rival Renault suffered less, posting a 3.9% decline. By the Numbers BMW Chrysler Fiat Nissan Volkswagen Volvo Peugeot Renault
