1989 Volvo 245 DL.

Silver with blue interior.

Automatic transmission.

Owner, daily driver since early 2000's.

Good condition but needs new home.

Has new battery, tires, front brake discs, pads, calipers and brake fluid.

New thermostat installed 12/13.

Needs more TLC but out of time and $$ to put into it.

Has typical paint fade on hood and roof for model year.

Side panels in very good paint condition.

Typical driver seat wear but rest of interior in very good shape. i.e. Right side of driver seat foam worn down.

Approx. 200K on odometer. Replaced the odometer and plastic gear broke again, so I have not replaced it.

Approximately 10-15000 miles since odometer went out.

Title is rebuilt. No frame damage when salvaged. It was prior to my ownership. No accidents since I have owned the vehicle.

Brake light is on, I believe due to brake system replacement and not getting all the air out of the system yet.

Light went off when flushing, then came back on. Haven't had time to refresh the system again. BUT, brake pedal pressure is good. Stops well.

A/C is sealed but needs either a relay or switch. Again, time is the issue for me.

Speedo is going the way of the odometer. Starting to stick.

Needs trunk lid shock. Left one was replaced, haven't gotten to the right one.

Slow oil leak at the back, but has never been an issue for me between oil changes.

Always used Mobil 1 Synthetic 10W-30 and Mann oil filters. Always used major oil co. Premium gas only in it.

Starts every time. Needs someone to take care of her. Always passed inspection as a daily driver. No wiring issues currently.

Fantastic car for first time driver, college kid, or the person who has several more of these already at the house.

I hate to see it go, but it is time. Happy to end auction early for best offer.

Uber hopes facilities in Detroit will help shape its autonomous future

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Hot off the heels of unleashing its fleet of self-driving vehicles in Pittsburgh, PA, Uber announced plans to open a new facility in the Detroit, MI area, reports Automotive News. The new facility was announced at an event hosted by Society of Automotive Engineers in Detroit, MI. Uber's vice president of global vehicle programs Sherif Marakby revealed the news, reports Automotive News. The facility is meant to help the ride-sharing company collaborate with suppliers and automakers in the area. There's no word on where Uber will build the new facility or how big it will be, as those factors have yet to be determined. Just like Pittsburgh, PA, Detroit, MI could become another testing ground for the ride-sharing company. The latest move to open a facility in the Detroit area comes after Uber offered users in Pittsburgh the chance to ride in one of its autonomous vehicle as it looks to gain vital real-world testing. Uber is utilizing a fleet of modified Ford Fusions. Earlier this year in April, the automaker announced a partnership with Google, Lyft, Uber, and Volvo to develop autonomous cars. A new facility in Detroit would strengthen the partnership and help Uber, as well as Ford put autonomous vehicles on the road faster.

The relationship between Volvo and Polestar was forged - and forges deeper still - on the racetrack, where the latter fields the former's tin-top entries in the STCC, WTCC and V8 Supercars. And based on their success together in touring-car racing, Volvo has had Polestar amp up a number of its production road cars. What we have here is the latest.
This year Volvo and Polestar dominated the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship, taking both the drivers' and manufacturers' titles. So to celebrate, Polestar has rolled out a new Black R package for the S60 sedan, V60 wagon and XC60 crossover.
The package includes an upgrade to 329 horsepower for the T6 engine and to 230 hp for the D5, and further enhances with special wheels, a dropped suspension, special sport seats and more. Unfortunately the package is only being offered in Sweden, but you can scope out the details in the press release below and the photos in the gallery above.
