Sadly I must sell my Volvo 242. Two months ago, my wife of 20 years decided she didn't need me around anymore. I escaped with my Volvo and my clothes and drove to my brother's house here in Eastern Oregon. I now need a newer car for work purposes, so the Volvo is up for your consideration.
This Volvo was delivered new in Montana and has an engine block heater. I have lots of service records from the prior owners.
The Volvo is properly lowered on ipd springs, has GT strut plates, Koni adjustable shocks front and rear, stainless steel brakelines, ipd VX cam, H4 headlamps, ipd aluminum belly pan, Enki alloy wheels, Abarth-style exhaust system, and Hella driving lights (not hooked up but all parts are there.) Also, she has behind-the-grille roadlamps that are not hooked up either.
The sunroof works and does not leak, but occasionally needs a little push when closing. A new timing belt and accessory belts were installed in May of this year. Also, new front and rear seat covers were custom-made, with extra material in the trunk.
This car has no major rust issues. She does not get hot or burn or leak oil. She just made a 300+ mile trip with no issues. Recently the Volvo was repainted Irish Green. The original color was rust brown (ugh!).
The Volvo comes with an Alpine CDA-9856 CD player with MP3/Ipod connector. The overdrive works properly, the clutch is good. This is a daily driver that should provide many trouble-free miles. The only known issues are some poor quality repair on the driver's door, and the rear brake light connections work but need to be replaced. The speedometer is accurate, but the odometer seems to run slowly, so the mileage can't be relied on. Car comes with extra lenses, Haynes manual and miscellaneous pieces.
I hate seeing this car leave, but I have no choice. This would be a great graduation gift or a good drivable project car. It gets a thumbs-up where ever I take her. This car is 35 years old and will always need some TLC. The headliner is good with a small tear by the sunroof and there is some small tearing by the window crank on the driver's door panel. I will gladly answer any questions and will be happy to store the car until you can arrange transportation as long as its paid for in full. Clean, clear Oregon title with plates good until Sept. 2014. This is a very desirable car. Don't let it slip away. Thank you for looking.

Volvo wants this car to be the Crown Vic of global police fleets
Mon, 18 Nov 2013It has been years since the last Ford Crown Victoria rolled off the assembly line, but these body-on-frame sedans are still the most recognizable police cars in the US. Volvo is making a strong push in hopes that its XC70 can attain the same level of success as a global police car. As it is, Volvo is a popular choice for police cars in its home country of Sweden, but its cars are also used in police fleets in the UK, Belgium and Switzerland.
With an upgraded chassis, Volvo is looking to attract agencies from around the globe, including the rest of Europe, Asia and even the Americas. Changes over a stock 2014 XC70 include a beefier suspension setup, and the automaker has also tested the police-spec version of the jacked-up wagon in just about all conditions it could encounter in Europe - from the high speeds of the German autobahn to the low traction of Sweden's snowy, winter roads. We doubt we'll see many, if any, of these Volvos policing the streets of the US, but if we do, we're sure it will be in New England, Colorado or North Carolina.
