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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Green Car award for Volvo XC90, MN air better from biodiesel

Thu, Apr 7 2016

The Honda CR-V could return with a plug-in hybrid option. Expected to debut in the fall of 2017, the PHEV could use a 2.0-liter I4 plus an electric motor. It's possible that the new CR-V is being developed in North America, and will borrow design cues from the Honda Civic. There also could be a seven-seat version. Beyond that, details are pretty scarce. Read more at Hybrid Cars, and from Response JP. UC Davis will present findings from a CARB-commissioned study on customer valuation of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). Dr. Ken Kurani of the university's Institute of Transportation Studies will report on consumer attitudes toward ZEVs, and the differences between those valuations and market behavior. In Kurani's survey, respondents had the opportunity to design their own car with an in-survey game. Almost a quarter of people designed some sort of EV, including plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles. Read more from CARB, or at Green Car Congress. Minnesota's biodiesel efforts have improved air quality. According to the American Lung Association in Minnesota, summer and winter blends of biodiesel have prevented the emission of 130 tons of particulate matter, 319 tons of hydrocarbon and 2,634 tons of carbon monoxide every year, as well as a total of 3.7 million tons of CO2 over the last 10 years. Minnesota requires a B10 biodiesel blend during the summer months, and B5 throughout the winter. Read more from Biodiesel Magazine. The Volvo XC90 has received the Canadian Green Car Award for Most Efficient Three-Row Family Vehicle.

Judges look at value, fuel economy, emissions, performance and technology among other features. The XC90 is available as a plug-in hybrid with about 17 miles of all-electric driving range.

The judges of the 2016 Canadian Green Car Award announced their category winners today, with the Volvo XC90 winning the Most Efficient Three-Row Family Vehicle category.

Apple announces CarPlay in-car iPhone interface

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Apple, maker of tech items like the iPhone, iPad and Mac line of computers, is extending its reach into the automotive market, making a fairly big announcement ahead of the Geneva Motor Show. No, it hasn't bought Tesla (yet). Instead, Apple has announced CarPlay, an all-new means of controlling an iPhone through your car.
Now, this doesn't strike us as some gimmicky thing. It's become increasingly common for automakers to take advantage of the high-speed data streams its customers enjoy on their smartphones in order to integrate navigation, traffic, audio and other infotainment items into a car's touchscreen interface. The Chevrolet Spark and Sonic are two prime examples of this move, using an iPhone's data stream for Siri integration and data for a third-party navigation app.
Owners will be able to plug in their iPhones to their cars via the USB port and gain control of a number of the device's functions, all through a car's touchscreen.

Season 9 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases us with BMWs and Volvos

Thu, Dec 22 2016

Jerry Seinfeld's successful online show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is heading into its ninth season, returning January 5th. It should be no surprise that the list of actors and comedians is impressive, with Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, and more making appearances. Seinfeld has lined up an equally impressive list of cars for the new season. Porsche, BMW, and Volvo all have beautiful machines lined up to shuttle Seinfeld and his guest to different coffee shops. As always, it's a mix of light humor packed into a relatively short and, most importantly, free video. Catch up on the previous eight seasons now on Crackle.
