Up for auction is my 1979 Volvo 244. This is a great, solid car with only 117,110 miles on it. It has been a project car of mine that I just don’t have time or money to complete. It a great example of an early 240 and will be awesome when the new owner finishes it off. I am the third owner, with the first owner having it from ’79-2001, then I got it from the second owner in 2005 or 2006 (I don’t remember!). The most notable thing about the car is the relatively low mileage and the solid rust free body. In addition, the interior is overall in excellent condition. The car has been sitting in my driveway for 3 years now and not driven. In the years when I first owned it I drove it and it runs and drives wonderfully. I had it repainted 2 summers ago by a local vocational-technical school and I drove it to and from their shop, it drove great then too. This car is really solid. The floor pan, rocker panels and doors are all strong solid metal. I cannot find any rust under the car, you can bang on the floor and hear how solid it is. Look at the pics I have of the door sills and rockers, and the rear end floor. The engine starts and runs strong. The interior and dash are in excellent shape for the age. There is only one small crack on the dash. All the glass is original. This car is not perfect, it has little issues (for example, the driver’s side speaker doesn’t work and the grille emblem fell out, etc) that will make it a great project car and someday it will be a show winner. I am sad to see it go and have described it as accurately as I could. If your expectations are
reasonable, you will definitely fall in love with this vintage Volvo! SEE BELOW FOR MANY DETAILED PICTURES Check my feedback, I make a real effort to accurately represent all of my items and this car is no different. Please ask questions to learn more. This car is, overall, in very good, original condition. As you walk around the car, or drive it, it is impressive to see the condition of all the items that you would expect to be a mess on a car of this vintage. However, the car is not perfect. In the time I have owned it I have had the following work performed: New OE Volvo Steel spare tire wells were welded in. There had been small amounts of rust on the spare wells which were repaired by an expert Volvo body guy. He also repaired some dents in the passenger side. The car was repainted by the voc-tech school in Ford Cocoa Metallic Brown. There are some imperfections in the paint job, but it looks good from 5 feet away. I have some of the paint if you want to touch it up. Complete tune up, fuel filter, cam seal, new battery, timing belt, water pump, transmission mount, exhaust pipe, oil pressure switch, oil change, have all been done in the last 6,000 miles or more recently. The car runs strong. I physically installed a rare tachometer into the cluster, however it is not yet wired up. I rebuilt and recovered the seats with brown covers from a newer 240. The front seats were upgraded to the new (taller) style 240 seat. The rears were recovered and the rear arm rest is from a newer car, so it is too big. THE BAD: Because the car has been sitting, there could be issues that will only be revealed during daily use. I am disclosing everything I know about. The heater fan is dead. The auto tranny has a small fluid leak, I am told it is common and an easy fix. It will need tires, the wheel/tire combo pictured on the car is not included however the original steel wheels and hubcaps are included (also pictured). The tires on those wheels are junk. The brakes worked fine 2 summers ago, but I suspect they will need servicing/replacing. The trunk/rear needs some reassembly from the paint and body work, parts are in the trunk. The AC system needs work, it doesn’t run. There is a crack in one taillight reverse lens. The car comes with a small selection of spare parts including: A spare gas tank (nothing wrong with the existing tank, I just happened to get one for free). The original rear seat armrest. A spare black headrest for the driver’s seat. READ BEFORE YOU BID!! READ BEFORE YOU BID!! You are not bidding for a chance to come and see, then refuse to buy the car.

Best 3rd Row SUVs of 2024
Wed, Oct 19 2022If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices. OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.  In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover |  Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV |  Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.

2013 Volvo C30 R-Design Polestar Limited Edition [w/video]
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Last Hurrah Comes and Goes In A Hurry
It isn't very often that we drive a new car that's already out of production, but that's exactly what has happened with this 2013 Volvo C30. After just five years on the North American market, the last C30 quietly rolled off the assembly line back in December. But before that happened, Volvo decided to send its compact hatchback out on a high note with a little added performance and exclusivity courtesy of this R-Design Polestar Limited Edition model.
The term "hot hatch" is admittedly tossed around a lot these days, but the combination of an R-Design styling package coupled with a good number of extra ponies under the hood should be more than enough to put the C30 in the mix with the likes of the Volkswagen GTI and its not-too-distant cousin, the Mazdaspeed3. The chief problem with the Polestar Limited Edition, though, is that it's priced against sportier all-wheel-drive compacts like the Golf R and Subaru WRX STI, so we decided to spend a week with the Polestar to see if its exclusivity and performance are enough to make up for its higher price tag.
