1982 Volvo 240 Sedan California Car Until 2012 on 2040-cars
Newtown, Pennsylvania, United States
I am selling this vintage Volvo 240 as my son has left for college and does not need a car anymore. We purchased this car on EBAY two years ago from a car mechanic in Ohio who owned it for a few months after buying it from a person who drove it to Ohio from California. The body is very solid with one dime side rust spot on the driver's side floor panel. This does not affect the structure. There is surface rust on the fender due to my son sliding against a fence on the way to school on a rainy day. There is no frame damage, I banged out the fender and bumper which was bent. However, the bumper has a crack underneath and some of the rubber molding is loose.. The right person can make it look brand new.
The center console is missing due to the plastic getting brittle which is common for these cars. The air conditioning is not currently working. The upholstery on the driver's side has a number of rips with very minor rips on the passenger and back seat. Recently,the car started to vibrate which needs to be attended to, it happens when you go above 40 mph. I am just too busy to tackle it at the moment. I suspect it could be mountings but I am not sure. Tire threads are at 60%. Overall a solid rugged car that needs some TLC to be brought back to its former glory. Car currently has PA. valid state inspection through June 2015. Again, this car is being sold AS IS and has no warranty. Please look at the pictures, they tell the story, but if you need anymore information about this car please feel free to call me at 215-970-4818. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. The vehicle history report is showing that the vehicle was towed from the accident, that is not the case, the vehicle was driven home and has been driven ever since. I have listed this car with a very reasonable reserve. This vehicle is also listed locally, so I reserve the right to end the listing early. Happy Bidding! |

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers
Fri, Jun 5 2015California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy 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:
