1988 Volvo 240 Gl Sedan- Leather, New Ca Smog Certificate, Runs Well, Clean on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
|
1988 Volvo 240 GL, great condition. It just passed the California smog test with flying colors. Very low emissions. The new smog certificate is dated July 20, 2014. Clean title. It's ready to be registered to a new owner in California or anywhere else! The car is in great overall condition. The engine runs very consistently, and all the features work. Crisp-shifting automatic transmission. As discussed in the video, the car was in a fender-bender that damaged the grill and headlights, but it was fixed. You can see the repair in the photos and videos. The car has approximately 200,000 miles. My grandmother bought it in 1988, and I shipped it from Massachusetts to California in 2004. When I shipped the car, I pressed the "odometer reset" button, and with a *click* the odometer stopped working with 98,638 miles on it. The speedometer still works fine, but the odometer is frozen at 98,638. I estimate that the car now has 200,000 total miles. The paint is good although there are dings and chips all around. There is a large paint scratch on the hood- see the video. There are no big areas of paint missing. The leather is worn on the edge of the driver's seat, but it's intact. The passenger's side leather and back seat are in good condition with much less wear. The exhaust system has been almost entirely replaced. The exhaust gaskets were replaced in 2004, and the muffler, resonator, and catalytic converter were replaced more recently. The brakes have been overhauled. When our son arrived in 2013, we replaced all the brake pads and the front rotors. In the last 3 months we've replaced the master cylinder and the equalizer. So the brakes are really strong. The shocks and struts have not been replaced. The tires are worn- they will need replacing soon, especially the rear tires. All the electrical systems work. There is a Jensen cassette deck that unfortunately eats tapes. It does have an "iPod jack" to plug in your phone and play music through the stereo. I also installed Blaupunkt speakers. I know that the radio draws some current from the battery, even when the car is off. If the car is not drive, it can drain the battery in around a week. So when I park the car long-term, I remove fuse #8 which powers the radio and the power locks. This is not absolutely necessary- it takes around a week for the battery to drain. If you drive the car frequently, you can disregard this. Otherwise you can (1) do what I did and remove fuse #8 for long-term parking situations, (2) disconnect the radio entirely, or (3) get a new radio. The sunroof works well. There is some plastic chipping on the front door storage bins. Includes Volvo floor mats, extra windshield wipers, original manuals, and service manual. Maintenance highlights (does not include oil changes or smog tests) 9/16/2004 - I shipped the car from MA to CA; odometer broke at 98,638 miles when I pressed the reset button.

Volvo agrees to transfer tech to new parent Geely
Tue, 11 Dec 2012Following the acquisition of Volvo by China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group in 2010, we definitely saw this news coming. The two companies have signed an agreement that will give Chinese automaker Geely access to key technologies developed by Volvo, and in turn, the deal could help the Swedish automaker lower its production costs.
As a part of the "technological cooperation agreements" signed by both companies, Automotive News China reports that Geely will be able to tap Volvo for three much-needed technologies, including the use of a midsize platform, Volvo's proven safety innovations and interior air quality systems. The latter two technologies are important to improve the crashworthiness of Geely's cars, along with helping isolate vehicle occupants from China's often severe air pollution. The report says that Volvo tech will likely be used on a premium car brand that Geely is expected to create.
Volvo, on the other hand, is to benefit from the "local market exploration experience and cost control experience" of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, which is technical way of saying that Volvo will be able reduce its costs by tapping into Geely's established supply chain.
