Please read all of the description than submit any questions....its amazing how many questions i get when the answer is in the paragraphs below.



Okay so here's the deal with this car....
   I bought this car locally and the guy i bought it from said it had a "stuck" brake caliper. After taking it for a test drive and seeing that the car was indeed in need of some brake work i purchased it and trailered it  home. I loaded onto my lift and found out it also had a need for exhaust work as well. I replaced the exhaust system from the cat converter all the way back to tailpipe...SO THE CAR HAS ALL NEW EXHAUST.... I then proceeded to fix the "stuck" caliper only to find out that both front rotors and calipers were shot and needed replacing as well as the brake pads. So i did just that. replaced everything down there including the rubber brake lines. SO THE CAR HAS ALL NEW PADS, ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND RUBBER BRAKE LINES. Put everything back together and proceeded to bleed the brakes...and then i did it again,,,and again...and again..no brakes. HMMMM????  Master cylinder is bad i guess....went through two of those and still nothing. Even took it to tire kingdom to get it power bled. (by the way what a bunch ignorant  as***** ) still nothing. SO THE CAR HAS A NEW BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. I went a step further shelled out another 85 bucks and bought a brand new Brake Booster because i could here a slight hissing sound as i stepped on the brake. Installed that and still got nothing.

   Discouraged i parked the car and didn't touch it for six month except to go start it and drive it up and down the road once a week to keep the fluids moving around. Parking brake works good.

   Yesterday I went out determined to finally beat this car at its game....battery was dead...okay jumped it and charged it....shut the car off and tried to start it again....nothing but a clicking sound under the glove box...(relay... coming from the big white one under there. I believe its ignition relay?)  

Anyway.... I'm Stumped about the brakes... This car DOES have ABS and a was only hoping it was not related. (by the way before i hear any suggestion or questions...yes i did check the ABS fuse under the front passenger seat. It is fine)

If you look at the car you would say "why is he putting so much time and money into this piece of crap?" But if your looking or know anything about Volvo 240's you know that the money and time is a small price to pay for these 300K mile car. THEY ARE FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! and so safe.

The mileage is correct just under 114K.... Nothing..... this thing is still a baby.  

Clear SC Title

It has body rust issues (see pics)...nothing that i couldn't fix especially cause there is no frame rust.

It has a small oil leak that i just discovered the other day. maybe real main seal i dont know

The driver door is crinkled, tree side swiped maybe?....got a good white one out of a junk yard that will come with the sale of the car.

Now, the engine runs GREAT...sixty seventy miles an hour down the highway no prob. and the car shifts fine and has plenty of power. And with the new exhaust it is quieter than my wife's new mini van.

Interior is awesome, dirty but in great shape. blue leather....not my favorite but it is in fantastic shape... the dash (which is usually the first thing to go)  is still black as ever and only has one small crack in it. (see Pics) The seats are GREAT.. the driver seat is cracked but that is it...
When I purchased the car the map pockets on the doors where pristine condition until the mechanic at tire Kingdom was kind enough to push my door open with his clumsy fat size 13 boot and broke the driver side map pocket...I have all the pieces after scrounging around for them on his garage floor (he said they it was broken when he started working on the car...BS that is why all the pieces where all over his garage floor....idiot...can't reason with stupid....anyways it can be repaired with a little fiberglass backing... I've done it before on previous 240's that I've owned. 

I am selling this car on eBay because i tried to sell it locally but the local demographic apparently don't appreciate the gas saving and general economical aspects of these cars. I'm from New England and every other car up there is a 240. But down here they just want to crush cars. And this car will not be crushed for F****ing scrap metal.

I want to make it clear this car is a project car that will need some love. The brakes are probably something simple however i am so frustrated with the time and money that i can't afford  mentally and financially to keep the car. 

If you wanted to fix this car up than awesome but it would also make probably the best parts car in the world though. 

Help me save one more 240 from the perilous jaws of a car crusher.

Oh and the roof racks do not come with the sale of the car...sorry


Now for the disclaimer. Please  Read !!!!!!!!

Why this could be the perfect time for Apple to make a car play

Fri, Aug 31 2018

While the automotive and technology worlds have been pouring billions into autonomous vehicles (AVs) and preparing to bring them to market soon as shared robo-taxis, Apple has mostly sat on the sidelines. Of course, Apple is the last company to ever make its intentions known, and the super-secret tech cult giant hasn't been totally out of the AV game based on the clues that have slipped out of its Cupertino, Calif., citadel over the past few years. Related: Apple self-driving cars are real — one was just in an accident News first broke in 2015 that it had assembled an automotive development team, in part by poaching high-profile talent from car companies, to work on a top-secret self-driving vehicle project code-named Titan. (Thank you very much, Nissan.) Apple also subsequently broke cover by making inquiries into using a Northern California AV testing facility and receiving a permit to test AVs on public roads in California. But then as the AV race started to heat up in the last few years, Apple reportedly began scaling back its car activities by downsizing team Titan. More recently, Apple's car project has shown signs of life with the hiring a high-level engineer away from Waymo and luring one Tesla's top engineers and a former employee back to Apple. It also inked a deal with Volkswagen to provide a technology platform and software to convert the automaker's new T6 Transporter vans into autonomous shuttles for employees at tech company's new campus. That is a far cry from giving rides to Wal-Mart shoppers, like Waymo is doing as part of its AV testing in Phoenix. But this could be the perfect time for Apple to enter the AV market now that ride-sharing is reaching critical mass and automakers and others are planning to deploy fleets of robo-taxis. Apple could easily establish a niche as a high-end ride-sharing service – and charge a premium – given its cult-like brand loyalty and design savvy. The growth of car subscription models could also play in Apple's favor since is already has many people hooked on paying for phones in monthly installments – and eager to upgrade when a new and better model becomes available. To achieve this, some believe Apple will fulfill co-founder and CEO Steve Job's dream of building a car. And as the world's first and only $1 trillion company it's sitting on a mountain of cash that certainly gives it the means. But other tech darlings like Tesla and Google have discovered how difficult it can be to build cars at scale.

Geely wants to be a tech-sharing 'friend' of Daimler in $9B bet

Sat, Feb 24 2018

Chinese carmaker Geely has built up an almost 10-percent stake in Daimler in a $9 billion bet by its chairman that he can access the Mercedes-Benz owner's technology in the growing battle for the future of automotives. The purchase by Li Shufu, Geely's founder and main owner, means China's largest privately-owned automaker is now the biggest shareholder in Germany's Daimler. Geely said on Saturday there were no plans "for the time being" to raise the stake further. Instead, it will seek to forge an alliance with Daimler, which is developing electric and self-driving vehicles, to respond to the challenge from new competitors such as Tesla, Google and Uber. "No current car industry player is likely to win this battle against the invaders from outside without friends. To achieve and assert technological leadership, one has to adapt a new way of thinking in terms of sharing and combining strength. My investment in Daimler reflects this vision," Li said. "Daimler is pleased to announce that with Li Shufu it could win another long-term orientated shareholder, which is convinced by Daimler's innovation strength, strategy and future potential," the German company said in a statement. Geely officials plan to travel to Stuttgart to meet Daimler executives early next week and also hope to meet top German government officials in Berlin, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. The Chinese firm plans to use the meetings to underline that it intends to be a supportive long-term investor, they said. Daimler had no immediate comment on any meetings. Geely and the German economy ministry declined to comment. Chinese investors in German technology companies have tended to take a consensual approach, buying incremental stakes in companies such as robotics firms Kuka and Kion, typically after long consultation with management and other stakeholders. In November, Geely asked Daimler to issue new shares so it could buy a stake, as a way to access Mercedes-Benz technology for electric cars and trucks, including battery technology, to help Geely comply with a Chinese crackdown on pollution. But the German company turned down the offer saying it did not want to dilute existing shareholders, sources at the time told Reuters. Li changed tactics, and quietly amassed a stake of 9.69 percent worth $9 billion at Daimler's current share price.

Volvo fires up S60 and V60 Polestar production

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

We were pretty smitten with the Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar models during our First Drive in Sweden a few months ago. We especially loved the way that its Öhlins adjustable dampers offered a perfect balance between suppleness and sporty handling. Now, the rest of the world will finally be getting the chance to take the Polestar models for a spin because Volvo is shipping out the first units of the limited-edition vehicles.
Their completion marks the first time ever that Polestar-tuned models have come off the line at Volvo's Torslanda factory. However, production of the 350-horsepower hatchback and sedan is very limited. Volvo is building a total of just 750 of them for the world market, and the US is only getting 80 wagons and 40 sedans.
In addition to the cutting-edge dampers and more powerful engine, both Polestar models benefit from a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system routed through a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters and launch control. Six-piston Brembo calipers bring things to a halt, and the limited models get unique front and rear fascias and 20-inch wheels. These are two very hot Swedes, and if rumors are right, then there are even more tuned Volvos from Polestar on the way. Scroll down to read the full announcement.
