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 Pure Tension concept folds solar charging pavilion into trunk
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Even by the 'anything-goes' standards of concept cars, this one is a head-spinner: the "Pure Tension" Volvo V60 Pavilion, commissioned by Volvo Italy and winner of the Pure Volvo Pavilion Design competition. The alien form seen hovering all over the rendered V60 is a pavilion, as in the kind erected for trade shows or outdoor events. Developed by Synthesis Design + Architecture, Buro Happold, and Fabric Images, the pavilion is a flexible mesh structure held in place by a carbon fiber rods.
What's more, the mesh is embedded with photovotaic cells so that the pavilion can absorb energy from the sun or indoor lighting, making it a portable charging station. It can power itself or the crossover, the V60 at the center of it all being a diesel hybrid that plugs straight into the pavilion. When it's time to go, the entire structure can be folded small enough to fit in the trunk of the car.
We're told it will be shown in September in Rome. Even if we never see this particular creation on the streets, it's comfortable proof that our future will eventually be wilder than we can imagine.
Limited-edition Volvo S60 Polestar priced at $59,300*, V60 at $60,900*
Fri, 01 Aug 2014You saw their US reveal at this year's Chicago Auto Show and read our driving impressions from Sweden. Now, if you act fast, you can actually own one of the very limited 2015.5 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar models coming to the United States. The order page for these slick Swedes is now online, but the slots are filling up about as quickly as these cars accelerate.
Volvo plans to build a combined 750 of these Polestar models for the world, but the US is being allocated just 120 of them. Prices start at $59,300 for the S60 or $60,900 for the V60 (*plus a $925 destination charge). The only option is color - either Black Sapphire or Rebel Blue. If rarity is playing a part in your decision, you might want to pick the S60. According to the reservation site, only 20 of the sedans in each color are making it over here; the rest are V60s.
As the top versions of their respective models, both Polestars are packed with features. They share a turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine rated at 345 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque with a six-speed automatic transmission and a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system. Acceleration to 60 miles per hour is claimed to take 4.7 seconds for the S60 or a tenth more for the V60 with a top speed of 155 mph. They are about more than just a hotter engine, though, with Öhlins shocks, six-piston brake calipers and 20-inch Polestar wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Check out the gallery for the full, official specs, and get to the order page soon, if you decide you need one of these limited Swedish sportsters.
Next Polestar Volvo sounds great, whatever it is
Fri, 15 Nov 2013Something - we don't know what yet - is coming from Polestar. While we'll be recovering from next week's LA Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show (and starting to slack off ahead of an extended Thanksgiving weekend), the official tuner of Volvo products has announced plans to unveil its latest creation in less than two weeks.
Based on this video teaser, we can only imagine (and hope) that it's the souped-up Volvo V60 recently caught testing by our spy shooters. The idea of a high-performance Volvo wagon was already enough to get us giddy last month, but the exhaust note in this video is downright captivating. Scroll down to watch the teaser for yourself, and be prepared for some bright blue wagony goodness to be revealed on November 26.
