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.

Defying Trump, major automakers finalize California emissions deal

Tue, Aug 18 2020

WASHINGTON — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration's push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution. The agreements with carmakers Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe into the agreements. The government ended the investigation without action. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. That is far weaker than the 5% annual increases in the discarded rules adopted under President Barack Obama. The 50-page California agreements, which extend through 2026, are less onerous than the standards finalized by the Obama administration but tougher than the Trump administration standards. The automakers have also agreed to electric vehicle commitments. Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holdings, said in March it planned to join the automakers agreeing to the California requirements. It has also finalized its agreement. The settlement agreements say California and automakers agreed to resolve "potential legal disputes concerning the authority of CARB" and other states that have adopted California's standards. In May, a group of 23 U.S. states led by California and some major cities, challenged the Trump vehicle emissions rule. Other major automakers like General Motors Co, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Toyota Motor Corp did not join the California agreement. Those companies also sided with the Trump administration in a separate lawsuit over whether the federal government can strip California of the right to set zero emission vehicle requirements. Ford said the "final agreement will reduce emissions in our vehicles at a more stringent rate, support and incentivize the production of electrified products, and create regulatory certainty." BMW said "by setting these long-term, predictable, and achievable standards, we have the regulatory certainty that is necessary for long-term planning that will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but ultimately benefit consumers as well." 

Volvo EX30 city car to launch next year as entry model

Fri, Dec 9 2022

At the end of the presentation for the battery-electric 2023 Volvo EX90, automaker CEO Jim Rowan gave everyone a tease of a smaller model to debut next year. Sitting in the dark next to an equally dark EX90, the new model looked like a Mini Me version of the EX90 down to the chunky stance and taillight signature. There were rumblings among media that this was the new EX30. In an interview with Automotive News Europe, Rowan confirmed suspicions by calling the new small car by that name. The EX30 will take up the entry slot in the Volvo lineup, offered as part of the Care by Volvo subscription service to keep the price down for its Gen Z target market of first-time car buyers. Dimensions are unknown, but the EX30 sits on the same Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) as the new Smart #1. The Smart is 168.1 inches long, 72 inches wide, and 64.4 inches wide. Our XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge, both sitting on Volvo's Compact Modular Architecture (CMA), are 174.8 inches long, 75.2 inches wide, and 65 inches high. Dimensions roundabout those of the Smart seem like a good starting point for the EX30's size. Staying there for a moment, the Smart packs a 66-kWh battery, one motor making 268 horsepower, and can go up to 273 miles on a charge on the WLTP cycle. Rowan said Volvo will offer a choice of batteries in the EX30 "so a customer can choose the range that best fits their lifestyle and their budget." Remember, the Honda-e sells in markets like Europe with 35-kWh battery good for a range good for about 135 miles on a charge. The CEO said these Gen Z buyers "still want top safety equipment, a fantastic ride and high quality." A lower price for a battery with a local range keeps that demographic in the loop, which also helps Volvo reach its goal of selling 1.2 million vehicles globally by 2025. That year is also important from Rowan's perspective because that's when he believes ICE vehicles and EVs will reach price parity. At the moment, the ICE XC40 starting price is $17,200 less than the XC40 Recharge. Barring further global upheavals, Rowan said, "I still think we are very much on track for price parity, because prices will come down pretty quickly when supply starts to meet demand again. In addition, we are starting to see some really interesting things when it comes to anode and cathode materials and battery chemistries such as the use of LFP (lithium iron phosphate) in certain cases.

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
