This 1989 VOLVO 240DL is being offered for sale with NO RESERVE price. This car would be good for one of a couple situations:

1) It could be used for parts. Since it has low miles, the parts from it are probably better than a lot of used parts you might find. I thought about parting it out myself, but I am in the middle of remodeling a house, and I just don't have the time.

2) I believe it could be fixed up by someone who can do engine work, and it would result in a pretty good car. Other than the engine, I don't believe there would be much more significant expense that would be required to make this a daily driven car in nice condition.

The bad news:

This car overheated. I took it to my mechanic and he said that the head gasket was probably damaged. I am not a mechanic, so please don't ask me detailed questions about what it will take to repair it. If you don't know what this means, you should not bid on this vehicle. My mechanic did not tear into it, but he seemed to be fairly confident of his diagnosis. For the purposes of bidding, you should assume the engine does not work (although I can occasionally get it started, it runs very rough). It is not drivable, so it will require towing to move. I do not have towing capability, so you will have to get it where it is going.

On the drivers side, there are a couple spots of surface rust around the rear wheel well and lower kick panel. On the passenger side, there is also some surface rust the corner of a door, and a quarter-sized hole in the kick panel.

The good news:

2014 Volvo XC60 scooped before launch

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

A Chinese automotive site has snagged the first spy shots of the updated Volvo XC60, completely uncovered. While the overall profile of the vehicle remains intact, the headlights are heavily revised. Gone are the two-piece units, which featured the separate light strip between the main cluster and the grille. In place now are larger lenses, somewhat reminiscent of those found on the S60 sedan. Also updated is the grille, which gets a little wider to meet the new headlights. The grille receives more chrome, while the lower front fascia has been revised with wider openings. A pair of LED fog lights are pushed way out to the corners.
Out back, the license plate holder gets a bold chrome strip above it, and the recessed exhaust is replaced with chromed, dual exhaust outlets that have been integrated into the bottom of the rear bumper.
Inside, the instrument panel has been revised, with a large, centrally mounted speedo, featuring a digital display in the center. According to reports, this is a similar setup to that of the new V40. As such, it appears that the changes are thoughtful efforts to move the XC60 forward by incorporating the most current Volvo design elements.

Volvo's pedestrian airbags may already be on their way out

Sun, 01 Dec 2013

As proof of just how quickly automotive technology can advance, just check out the Volvo V40. Developed with an external airbag aimed at better protecting pedestrians in the event of a collision, this innovative safety device could be phased out soon in place of more advanced active safety technologies like pedestrian detection and auto braking.
Go Auto had a chance to talk to Volvo senior VP Lex Kerssmakers at the Tokyo Motor Show, and he suggested that the V40's under-hood airbag will not be used on the next-gen XC90 and might not even be continued on non-SUV models. The passive airbag was designed to deploy at speeds of less than 31 miles per hour to help limit head injuries to pedestrians, but new active technologies are designed to prevent collisions in the first place.
The interview also reveals some details about the new XC90, such as the inclusion of a plug-in hybrid system and the debut of a new safety technology. Kerssmakers told Go Auto that a new Volvo concept will be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in January, but it won't be for the XC90.
