Gorgeous ALL ORIGINAL, 2 Owner Volvo in Rare Color Combo

     Here is a beautiful 1978 Volvo 245DL Wagon in awesome condition inside and out. This car is very special in several ways. It is a two female owner car which has always been garaged and well maintained. This low mileage Wagon comes in a beautiful Cherokee Red on red vinyl color scheme which really sets this vehicle off. These cars are few and far in between, especially in this condition. This is your chance to own a truly one of a kind automobile!

      The car was bought new on 11-17-78 at Rock Road Motors of St. Louis, MO by Loretta Kelley and traveled only 11,000 miles while in her ownership, and was purchased out of her estate around 2001 by its second owners who retired to Tucson AZ around 2008 and brought Old Red with them. The previous owner took extensive care of the car and always garaged it over their 13 year love affair with this beauty. This car was her pride and joy and always received the best care and service at authorized Volvo shops. Don't miss your chance to own a very clean and solid '78 245DL.

The following is a list of options as this 245DL is currently equipped:

-Original 2.0L 4CYL Engine

-Optional 4 Speed Automatic Transmission

-Rare Ice Cold A/C

-Optional Roof Rack

-Original Volvo AM/FM Radio

-All 5 Matching Like New Bridgestone Tires

-Original Steel Wheels

      The body on the car is in very good condition and was extremely well maintained. The paint on the car is finished in striking Cherokee Red and is in beautiful show condition. The paint is virtually perfect with only a few small chips as to be expected on a car that is meant to be driven. The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as any well cared for garaged car should be, and has never been in any accidents. The car is riding on original steel Volvo wheels and chrome trim rings with like new Bridgestone tires. All chrome trim is gorgeous, glass is all original, and rubber seals are in great shape.

      The interior is all original condition all around. The dash is free of any cracks or fading. The rest of the interior is very nice condition with absolutely no cracks or damage. The supple red seats are all in very good condition and look like they have been very well preserved original examples. The carpets are all very nice are not worn or damaged and appear original. All dials and controls function as they should; all windows and rear hatch also are fully functional. All lights, gauges switches, and accessories work as they should. The trunk compartment is very clean and does have the original jack, the new matching spare tire and wheel which appear to never have touched the pavement! Also included is the original, complete, set of tools in bag!

      Mechanically, this 245DL runs GREAT! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. The 2.0L engine is very quick and responsive. It is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily available.The internal fuel pump was recently replaced along with the idle valve, in addition to a fresh radiator a couple years ago. The suspension is very tight and feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 70mph. The front rotors and brakes have been replaced followed by an alignment. The car was always regularly serviced and was indicated by the huge pile of receipts. The car just had the A/C serviced and had a tune-up!

      The car also has manuals, service books, tool kit, and original Arizona copper plates!

      All in all, this is one of the neatest Volvos that I have had the privilege of being associated with. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owners. This 245DL is a fantastic car for the price. This is your chance to get a classic Volvo, which will only go up in value. The car also has a clean Arizona Title. Any further questions please call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.

Dealers mobilize to protect their margins from automaker subscription services

Fri, Aug 24 2018

Six individual auto brands — Lincoln, Cadillac, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW and Volvo — have established or are trialing a vehicle subscription service in the U.S. Three third-party companies — Flexdrive, Clutch and Carma — run brand-agnostic subscription services. And three automakers — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and General Motors — have also launched short-term rental services. Dealers, afraid of how these trends might affect their margins, are building political and lawmaking campaigns to protect their revenue streams. So far, three states are investigating automaker subscriptions, and Indiana has banned any such service until next year. It's certain that those three states are the first fronts in a long political and legal battle. Powerful dealer franchise laws mandate the existence of dealers and restrict how automakers are allowed to interact with customers to sell a vehicle. On top of that, Bob Reisner, CEO of Nassau Business Funding & Services, said, "Dealers and their associations are among the strongest political operators in many states. They as a group are difficult for state politicians to vote against." In California earlier this year, the state Assembly debated a bill with wide-ranging provisions to protect against what the California New Car Dealers Association called "inappropriate treatment of dealers by manufacturers." One of those provisions stipulated that subscription services need to go through dealers, but that item got stripped out when dealers and manufacturers agreed to discuss the matter further. In Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a moratorium on all subscription programs by dealers or manufacturers until May 1, 2019, to give legislators more time to investigate. Dealers in New Jersey have taken their campaign to the state capitol, asking that the cars in subscription programs get a different classification for registration purposes. Automakers run the current subscription services and own the vehicles. Sign-ups and financial transactions happen online or through apps, leaving dealers to do little more than act as fulfillment centers to various degrees, with little legal recourse as to compensation amounts when they're called on to deliver or service a car. That's a bad base to build on for business owners who've sunk millions of dollars into their operations.

Volvo calls in S60 T5 over oil pressure indicator

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

As anyone with a driver's license should be able to tell you, the oil pressure indicator on a car is a vital feature. If you don't have enough oil pressure, your engine could seize up, leaving you stranded and causing catastrophic damage for both your automobile and your wallet. Worryingly, then, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that the oil pressure indicator lamp on certain Volvo S60 models is prone to failure, prompting the manufacturer to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to MY2011-2012 Volvo S60s with turbocharged five-cylinder engines manufactured between June 22, 2010 and May 14, 2012. All told, precisely 30,929 units are affected by the recall campaign. The owners of affected models will be notified by Volvo to bring in their cars to their local dealer for a software update. See the official notice below for details.
