The sad day has come when I have to let go of this reliable beauty.  I have too many cars in my driveway and just bought another and this one must go.
 
This car has had 3 owners before me.  The first two of these was between 1997-2003.  When the second owner sold the car it had only about 55k miles.  The third owner had a minor accident with the vehicle in August 2007 and sold it to a car dealership which is where I purchased it. 
 
The dealer Steven let us know the previous owner was very aggressive about performing preventative maintenance that he didn't need to fix anything.  Since then the car has only needed a tune-up, new alternator, and motor mounts and routine maintenance.  I have put mostly highway miles on the car, I use it mostly on the weekend for my out of town trips!  The car has been very reliable and I wouldn't hesitate to take it on a cross country trip.
 
Some of the repairs include:
 
04/09- complete tune-up, spark plugs
07/09- new front brakes/rotors
05/10- new motor mounts/brakes
12/11- new tires
6/12- new battery
5/13-new alternator (pep boys)
 
The car has some cosmetic flaws as you may expect from a car from 1997.  There is a medium size dent from the prior owner's car accident.  The car has very little rust.  The car has NO damage from Hurricane Sandy, it is located a few blocks from Hofstra University which is miles from the water and wasn't impacted by the storm.  The interior has normal wear and tear, with the exception of the stain on the rear drivers side seat.  The vehicle has a CD player.  The AC works.  The sunroof works.  The rear wiper works (which is rare based on the age of the vehicle).  No damage to the windshield.  The speedometer is not working.
 
Those are all the details of the few issues that I know of.  The vehicle has been good to me, incredibly reliable and easy to take care of.  I'm sad to see this one go and I hope to pass it along to someone who will enjoy it as much as I did.  The car also includes a bike rack that has rarely been used.
 
$500 will be due via pay pal within 24 hours of the auction's close.  Once I have full payment I will express mail the title so that you can make arrangements with your State motor vehicle department for temporary registration, as the car does not have a current registration.  I will store the car for no charge for 10 days after the auction closes.  If we don't make other arrangements after that time there will be a storage charge of $20 per day.  I have too many cars in my driveway and got a new one.  I really don't have the room to store my new car as it is now.

Junkyard Gem: 1982 Volvo 244 DL

Sat, Jul 9 2022

Because it was sold in the United States for so many years — 19 model years, to be exact — and won the hearts of so many American drivers with its reliability and safety, sufficient examples of the Volvo 200 Series remain in service that they continue to show up in self-service car graveyards nearly 30 years after the last ones left the showroom. We saw a low-mile Richelieu Red 1983 Volvo 244 DL in a Denver-area yard last year, and now I've found a near-identical 1982 244 DL in another yard located between Denver and Cheyenne. Volvo went through several variations in the naming scheme for these cars between 1975 and 1993; during the first half of the 1980s, the 240 was badged using just the trim level. That makes this car a 1982 Volvo DL, the cheapest trim level available at the time. By now, though, everyone who knows old Volvos uses the three-number system of the 1970s, with the second digit indicating the number of engine cylinders and the third digit representing the number of doors. I'll be using the 244 designation here. This car came from the factory with a fuel-injected 2.1-liter SOHC straight-four rated at 112 horsepower. This car has the base four-on-the-floor manual transmission with an overdrive selected via the switch on the shift knob. If you wanted an automatic transmission, you had to pay an extra $325 (just over a thousand bucks in 2022 money). Later in the decade, a five-speed manual became available on the 240. Most 240s rack up better than 200,000 miles during their careers (and I've seen quite a few that made it past 300,000), but this car didn't reach that figure. This car still has its original AM/FM/cassette radio, which would have cost serious money in 1982. The MSRP on this car was $10,260, or about $31,800 in 2022 dollars. The two-door version went for $9,785 ($30,330 now). You could get a new 1982 Buick LeSabre Limited sedan for $9,331, and it was much roomier and more powerful than the VolvoÂ… but not as good in a crash. There's very little rust on this car, and the only serious body damage is this dented passenger-side door. The rodent nesting detritus under the hood and the lack of wear on the seat fabric suggests that it got parked for good a decade or three back. Perhaps it would have been rescued and revived in the rustier parts of the continent, but there's a glut of restorable 244s and a shortage of Volvo enthusiasts in the Denver area.

Volvo recommits to Sweden with development of next-gen platform and engines

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

Taking into account the facts that Volvo is now owned by China's Geely and how poorly the European automotive market has been recently, we would have definitely understood if Volvo moved production of its products out of its home market. And yet, the automaker has confirmed that it will be investing billions of dollars into new platforms and engines that will be made in Sweden. On a global scale, Volvo is making roughly $11 billion of investments, and close to half of that is being earmarked for Sweden for plant expansion and upgrades.
The new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform will be the used as the basis for most future Volvo products starting with the next-generation XC90 that will be debuting at the end of 2014. SPA will be used to make up two-thirds of Volvo's sales, and gives Volvo a quicker and easier break from Ford-derived platforms. As for the Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) family of engines, there are really no details about this mill except that it will be a four-cylinder that is more fuel efficient than current engines.

Aurora, Volvo partner on self-driving heavy trucks

Sun, Apr 4 2021

Global heavy truck manufacturers are lining up technology partners to help build out self-driving systems for long-haul freight that could see widespread commercial service well before self-driving robotaxis. The latest alliance was announced Tuesday between Sweden's Volvo Group and California-based Aurora Innovation, building on a working relationship that dates back several years, the partners said. Analysts expect more such partnerships, as relatively young technology firms such as Aurora connect their autonomous vehicle systems knowledge with the deep manufacturing experience of legacy companies such as Volvo Trucks. “You can't go at it alone in autonomy," said Grayson Brulte, president consultancy Brulte & Company. "The trucking industry is a completely different personality" than the passenger vehicle business, with different requirements. Most of the larger truck manufacturers have turned to self-driving tech partners, driven in part by a chronic shortage of drivers and a boom in e-commerce, fueled by the global pandemic. In January, Aurora announced a strategic partnership with U.S. truckmaker PACCAR, whose brands include Peterbilt and Kenworth. Aurora's founders include self-driving veterans from Tesla and Alphabet's Waymo. Aurora last year said its first commercial product would be in trucking "where the market is largest (and) the unit economics are best." In 2020, Waymo Chief Executive John Krafcik told Reuters that "goods delivery is a bigger market than moving people" as Waymo expanded its focus to include heavy trucks. Germany's Daimler has formed a self-driving truck alliance with Waymo, while China's largest heavy truck maker, FAW Jiefang, has partnered with Plus AI. Volkswagen's Traton truck group is an investor in TuSimple, as is U.S. truckmaker Navistar. In a January earnings call, Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said the long-delayed Semi electric truck is highly likely to be the first of the company's vehicles to achieve full self-driving capability.
