* 1987 Volvo 240 DL Wagon * Before you and up for bid at NO RESERVE is my 1987 Volvo 240 DL Wagon. The particulars of the Volvo are as follows: * One family owned (military) since purchased new in Florida. * Non-smoker, no pets * After 5 years in Florida, the family and Volvo transferred to Virginia. * In 1997, a European assignment position was offered and the Volvo accompanied the relocation to Germany. Upon assignment conclusion, the Volvo was imported back into the states, and brought to Colorado. * CARFAX certified NO ACCIDENT history. Additionally, the ownership history including the export/import is documented within the CARFAX. (in hand) * Original paint and solid body. The clear coat on the roof is thin as is a small spot on the hood. The body is straight with good doors and panel fit. Beneath the doors and rocker panels look good with no rust. The passenger side front door has a slight scuff along with the rear wheel well, this as a result of a sliding barn door. (see pic) * After years of typical family use, including transporting two daughters through college, the Volvo has been relegated to use as a station car or for when family/friends visit Colorado. It has also proven suitable for the stacking upon of garage stuff. The minimal use no longer justifies keeping it when someone else could benefit from its daily use. * Volvo wagons are venerable for their safety & reliability...you know that. The car is # 5 on Kiplingers list of "The Top Ten Cars That Refuse To Die" article from 2011. * 5 Speed manual transmission, very desirable and difficult to source. Shifts well through all gears, good clutch. * In anticipation of the sale, the follow has just been performed: Full detail including seat removal to shampoo the carpets. New windshield, the one replaced was the factory original. New rear tail lights. New tail gate lift supports Servicing with fresh fluids and in general going through it to make sure all safety features are functional, (horn, wipers, lights, turn signals, etc.) Front alignment * 2.3 liter 4 cylinder engine, holds a smooth idle and runs well. NO annoying oil drips or leaks * Factory AC car, it is not blowing cold. The heater/defroster work fine. * Approximately 146K total miles, I say approximate, for the speedometer stopped working. A replacement cluster was sourced and installed. It indicates 166K. The original will accompany the sale. * Volvo's are not without their inherent quirks, these are usually electrical in nature and manifest in the form of erratic idiot lights displaying or the above referenced cluster/speedo/odometer issues. In the case of my 240, the rear wiper does not always return to the down position, the seat belt indicator light will remain on when belts are fastened, the emergency brake light light will also occasionally display when the brake is not set. The clock tells the correct time...twice daily. * Upgraded factory Volvo alloy wheels with matching Falken tires, good tread wear remaining. The doughnut spare has never been on the ground. Original jack, tool pouch and tire tool. * Power locks * Power steering, power brakes * There is no radio and the top of the dash has cracks typical of these cars. * Good, clear glass throughout. All windows roll up and down properly. * Nice upholstery for the front seats, they are still very supportive. The secondary row has some small cracks in the right seating area vinyl. The seat folds flat accordingly to increase the cargo capacity. The car is not equipped with the third row seat, though these are fairly easy to source if one desires. * Good headliner and sun visors. * All door and body weather stripping is soft and pliable. * Yakima roof rack included. At 27 years of age, the Volvo still looks decent, it's a clean car and a good reliable vehicle. The car is an ideal commuter, daily driver or safe economical student vehicle. Offered at NO RESERVE, you are bidding to purchase the Volvo, not to be the first to "look at it". Thank you. Please have your funding in place prior to placing your bid, as most banks will not finance a vehicle of the Volvo's age. The Volvo and I are located in the Colorado Springs vicinity. Transportation and/or shipping are the sole responsibility of the buyer. Trailered delivery is possible in the lower 48 states for $1000.00 (non-negotiable). I can recommend a reputable shipper for you, if needed. While I am confident that the Volvo could be driven home to anywhere in America, I do not recommend driving it home. Older cars are just that...older cars. Miles from home is not the place to get acquainted with your "new" older car. Get it home first. With that said, if you choose to drive it home, I can't stop you and will gladly pick you up from the airport in Colorado Springs. Inspections are welcomed and will be facillitated to the best of my ability prior to the auction concluding. If you are "new' to eBay, have 0% feedback, years of inactivity on eBay, excessive negative feedback or less than 10 transactions, you will need to CALL ME prior to placing your bid and express your intentions. Otherwise, your bid will be cancelled and you will be blocked from further bidding. This simple guideline is in place to preserve the integrity of the auction from those that would bid and then not fulfill their purchase commitment. A $1000.00 initial payment is due and payable within 24 hours of auction close VIA Paypal, NO exceptions. The balance is then due and payable within 5 days thereafter under condition and arrangement made between myself and the buyer. I prefer a legitimate bank to bank wire transfer for the balance as it provides a documented record of the transaction for both parties. Ebay provides for only 24 pictures. I have selected pictures that best present a concise overview of the car. If you would like any area specific pictures, simply request them. I answer my phone quicker than I respond to e-mail, call me directly with any questions. If you reach my voice mail, leave me a brief message and I will return your call promptly. If you would like to discuss a "buy it now", call me and PRESENT your offer. DO NOT call and ask me, "what's the lowest that you'll take?" Buyers from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence. I have represented the Volvo accurately. Given the age of the Volvo, it is understood and acknowledged to being sold in "as is" condition with no expressed, written or otherwise implied warranties. Clear Colorado title in my name. The title and the car will not be released until payment in full has been received. Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid! Jeff (719)-492-1234, c

2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E
Wed, 23 Apr 2014For those not paying attention, Volvo has updated its S60 sedan range for 2015 with a new range of engines under the Drive-E label. Wearing the same T5 and T6 badges to note the relative levels of power under the hood, both engines are 2.0-liter four-cylinders, with the lesser being turbocharged and the greater being both supercharged and turbocharged.
Both Drive-E variants are currently only available in front-wheel-drive flavor, though Volvo will still happily sell you an S60 T5 AWD with the older 2.5-liter turbo five-cylinder, or a top-of-the-line S60 T6 with a turbo'd 3.0-liter six-cylinder and all the wheels turning.
The car I drove for a week is perhaps the most balanced version of the S60 range, with that exotic sounding twin-charged 2.0-liter mill planted happily in the attractively sloping nose. Provided you're not hung up on front-drive dynamics, the T6 Drive-E might be a solid candidate for your next premium small sedan shopping list, as well.
2019 BMW X7 vs luxury SUV rivals: Comparing specs and photos
Wed, Oct 17 2018Today we get our first-ever look at the first-ever 2019 BMW X7 crossover. We've actually already had our first-ever drive in an X7 Prototype. And so, we thought it appropriate to follow that up today with the first-ever X7 comparison of specs between BMW's first-ever three-row crossover with legitimate room for seven and its many high-dollar competitors. On paper, the 2019 X7 definitely seems to most closely align with the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. Their similar dimensions, interior space, engine choices and price would certainly imply where BMW placed the target when developing X7. We used those same elements to determine three-row vehicles likely to be cross-shopped or that should be cross-shopped. These include the Audi Q7, Land Rover Discovery, Volvo XC90 and Lincoln Navigator. Yes, the latter is a truck-based SUV as opposed to a crossover, but tell that to all the people lining out the door at the local Lincoln emporium. They do not care, and neither shall we. We also included the 2019 BMW X5, which was completely redesigned for this year and therefore not the first-ever. That makes it less appealing? Either way, lining the new X5 up with the SUV that leapfrogs it atop BMW's SUV hierarchy should provide a good idea of just how much more you get by going up a model number. Engines and model lineup Again, the X7 aligns closest with the GLS, offering a base six-cylinder in its xDrive40i model and an upgrade turbo V8 in the xDrive50i. The Mercedes engines have greater output, but the GLS still accelerates slower than the BMW. As the 2019 X5 offers the exact same engines, we would also expect the X7's fuel economy to be superior to the GLS once its estimates are announced. It should be noted, though, that the GLS offers a high-powered AMG model whereas we anticipate the X7 to offer a plug-in hybrid model comparable to the X5 upcoming xDrive45e model. The other luxury SUVs diverge in their engine choices and model lineup. The Audi Q7 offers a base turbocharged four-cylinder, as does the Volvo XC90 in its T5 model, which we left out of the above chart entirely for space reasons. That the Q7 3.0 TFSI supercharged V6 gets the same fuel economy estimates as the four-cylinder is proof positive that engine is purely around for its lower base price.
Volvo shows glimpses of new Concept C Coupe ahead of Frankfurt [w/video]
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Volvo has released a short teaser video for a concept car that will be unveiled on August 29 ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show. At first glance, it would appear to be nothing more than a few sketches and some words from Volvo design boss Thomas Ingenlath, but at about the 11-second mark, four images are flashed on the screen revealing the true nature of the video - the Volvo Concept C Coupe.
As Inglenlath suggests in the video, this new concept is designed to help bring more excitement to the brand's lineup, and from what we can tell in these strategically captured shots, the company is definitely on to something. While we don't get too much of look from any one angle, the front reveals what appears to be a concave version of Volvo's signature grille and the side shows off a stylish greenhouse. We have to wonder, do these images confirm the identity of the mystery concept car that's been floating around the Internet this week? In either case, our favorite view is perhaps the rear shot giving us a glimpse of the car's name as well as its flat, wide haunches and C-shaped taillights.
Scroll down to watch the whole video, and if you don't have a trigger-quick mouse finger, don't worry. We made a gallery of screen shots showing the four embedded images.
