The sad day has come when I have to let this reliable beauty go. I have one too many cars and thinking about a move to the big city. From 1992 to 2010 the car was owned by an Ivy League neuroscientist and maintained as you might expect an Ivy League neuroscientist to maintain his vehicle. Repairs under his ownership were performed by the local Volvo dealer, and I have all vehicle records documenting everything from his original purchase of the car to my last oil change. The previous owner was so aggressive about performing preventive maintenance that aside from a timing belt, motor mounts, and engine seals, I haven't had to do anything but routine maintenance since owning the car. I purchased the car in 2010 and drove the car with mostly highway miles. The car has been very reliable, and I wouldn't hesitate to take it on a cross country trip today. Some of the more recent repairs were done at the following mileage: 107,396: New clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing; resurfaced flywheel 112,197: New catalytic converter 127,031: New front/rear brakes and rotors, clean/inspect/repack wheel bearings, new lower ball joints 132,018: New muffler, exhaust pipe 137,986: New motors mounts, rear brakes, tail lamps, rear tires 140,773: New alternator, headlight bulbs 142,580: New front brakes 143,862: New timing belt, front/rear engine seals, valve gasket, all drive belts 158,000: New rear tires 167,233: New distributor cap, rotor, tailgate wiring harnesses, spark plugs 169,594: New battery The car has some of the cosmetic flaws you might expect of a car from 1992. However, there are no major dents or dings. The paint and black trim are a little faded, but the car has very little rust as the photos attest. The interior has been normal wear. The front speakers are a mismatched Volvo/Kenwood pair, but the aftermarket Pioneer stereo has CD/USB and miniplug audio input. The rear tires are only 10,000 miles old, but the front tires should be replaced soon. Two years ago I installed a new tailgate wiring harnesses to replace the original wiring harnesses which were broken due to the stress of being routed through the tailgate hinge (a known design flaw in these Volvo wagons). To prevent the new wiring harnesses from breaking, I routed them through the cab as opposed to through the hinges; as you can see in the photos, the wiring harnesses currently are attached to the roof to their connection in the tailgate. In the process of fixing this harness I opted to leave the central aux brake light and the rear window wiper disconnected. The rear window wiper activation button is also stuck. There is a 6" crack in the windshield. The AC works but could use a recharge. Those are all the details of the few issues I am aware of. The vehicle has been incredibly reliable, and a joy to care for. Very sad to see this one go, and I hope to hand it on to someone who will enjoy it as much as I did. Car also includes a Bike Rack and Cargo turtle bag that fit the vehicle and have only been used twice.
$500 will be due via PayPal within 24 hours of the auction's close. Once I have full payment I will express mail the title to you so that you can make arrangements with your state motor vehicle department for temporary registration, as the car does not have a current registration. I will store the car at no charge for 7 days after the auction's close, but unless we make arrangements otherwise on the 8th day on there will be a storage charge of $20 per day.

First production Volvo P1800 stolen
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Want further proof that car thieves are the scum of the Earth? Some crooks in Sweden made off with a prized Volvo - the very first production P1800. The P1800, a two-door coupe, is a classic that's been growing in popularity over the years, thanks in no small part to its gorgeous sheetmetal.
This particular example, wearing chassis number two, wears red paint with a white interior. It was swiped from a locked storage facility in Stockholm, according to Hemmings, between August 21 and 22. The P1800 was owned by Mats Eriksson, vice president of the Swedish P1800 Club, who had given it a thorough restoration. Features to look out for on this particular car include the unique wheel covers shown in the gallery, and two different registration plates - C28000 and ACZ 780.
Larmtjänst AB, a non-profit that fights vehicle crimes in Sweden, is accepting any and all information pertaining from the theft. If you, or anyone you know, was in Stockholm on the night of the days of the theft or has seen a red P1800 in the Scandinavian region, head over to the Larmtjänst AB website to submit a tip.
Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
New Lotus SUV could be based on Volvo architecture
Tue, Mar 20 2018Last year, Chinese carmaker Geely upped its stake in Lotus to a majority, recently investing more money into the British brand. Now, talking with Automotive News, CEO Jean-Marc Gales says Geely has approved three new models: two sports cars and the third an SUV. The sports cars will be announced later this year, and they will reach production in 2020. The last time a properly new Lotus debuted was in 2009 with the Evora, so a decade later new products are certainly due. But what about that SUV? Autocar says that since Geely also owns Volvo, that makes it possible for Lotus to base the SUV onto the Volvo SPA platform, which is also used in the XC60 and XC90. The choice of platform would mean the SUV would have to be a four-cylinder model, but that's nothing new to Lotus. It could even use Volvo's "Twin Engine" hybrid setup, which would mean a power output of over 400 horsepower as stock, and that with Lotus' eagerness for lightness could be a potent combination. Autocar quotes Gales as saying, "It will go round bends like nothing else in its segment." The target weight for the approximately Porsche Macan-sized SUV is under 2,000 kilos (4,400 pounds), and the Macan weighs 4244 pounds in 400-hp Turbo guise. The Lotus SUV is projected to hit the market in "about four years," and it's very likely to be built in China instead of Britain, as the Chinese market is very enticing — especially for this class of vehicle. The vehicles will still be designed at Lotus' Hethel HQ. Related Video:
