Up for sale is a Silver 1989 Volvo 245DL with blue leatherette interior. This survivor has 149,014 miles showing on the working odometer. This vehicle came to my Volvo repair shop in need of some TLC that the former owner was unable to provide. The poor little car was on its way to the great beyond. Being a volvo technician for the past 30 years, I could see beyond the maintenance needed and offered to purchase the vehicle. The owner and I reached a number and the work began to bring this Swedish jewel back to its former self. The car has been garage kept for most of its life, hence the immaculate paint and no rust to be found. My staff and I started with a bath and went on from there. We did all work necessary to make it reliable and safe just as Volvo did. We replaced any suspect brake component, including front brake pads, rotors, calipers and brake hoses. Rear brake pads, rotos and calipers. Brake master cylinder and junction block. We did a complete tune up including valve adjustment, Spark plugs, distributer cap, rotor, ignition wires, PCV valve, air filter, throttle plate service and adjustment. We replaced the timing belt, tensioner bearing and front engine seals. The radiator, water pump, thermostate and coolant flush were done for good measure. Before buttoning up the front we installed new drive belts. The rear tail lenses have been replaced and the tailgate got new wiring harnesses. The suspension bushings are in good shape with plenty of miles left, the rear shock absorbers are recent. The air conditioning is in excellent working order and blowing nice and cold. The paint is original and shinny, this car has never been in an accedent, the interior is in fantastic shape with no tears in the seats or carpet. This is an extremely stand up 245 ready to give many many more miles of driving pleasure and should need nothing to be a reliable car for its new owner. Please see list for a complete list of all repairs and maintenance done.

Ex-Volvo boss Stefan Jacoby to head GM's international operations
Fri, 02 Aug 2013He was too talented not to surface somewhere, we just didn't know where and when. Nine months ago, Stefan Jacoby stepped down from his post as Volvo CEO, a move that caught many off guard. At the time, the separation was called "amicable," but word is that the strong-willed executive clashed with owners Geely and the automaker's board.
Jacoby will have a new set of challenges on his hands, as he has just been named Executive Vice President Consolidated International Operations for General Motors. That means the Hannover-born Jacoby will head up the company's operations in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East, where he will be responsible for over 100 countries and territories. Jacoby succeeds Tim Lee, who has been named chairman of GM China. Lee will also retain his post as Executive Vice President Global Manufacturing.
Jacoby's dealings with Geely should help him in his Asian market duties, but he also counts time as the head of Volkswagen of China on his resume, so he's very well-versed in the market's peculiarities.
Volvo details upcoming XC90's new scalable platform
Tue, 12 Aug 2014In two weeks' time, we'll be boarding a flight for Stockholm for the live reveal of the new Volvo XC90. But before we do, Volvo has revealed another round of salient details regarding not only its new crossover, but a whole range of new vehicles to share its architecture.
That platform is called Scalable Product Architecture, and it follows the latest industry trend towards modular platforms. The product of four years' development, the new platform uses high-strength boron steel to optimize weight and rigidity. The scalable architecture, set to underpin the next-generation S60, V60, XC60, S80 and anything larger, offers designers more flexibility in terms of proportions. It can be adapted to a wide range of vehicles of different shapes and sizes, designed from the get-go to incorporate a range of powertrains (including the XC90's new twin-charged hybrid system) and all the latest safety technologies you'd expect from a Volvo.
The XC90, Volvo has revealed, will also offer increased interior flexibility, with movable second and third rows to optimize cargo space and legroom as needed. That third row is designed to accommodate children (or small adults) up to five-foot-seven. Meanwhile the image inset above gives us our first glimpse at the new XC90's styling, with T-shaped running lights inspired by Thor's hammer.
2015 Volvo Inscription models get classy with an upgraded leather interior
Thu, 17 Apr 2014If Volvo's recent spate of cool-looking concepts is any indication, the Swedish brand has some great new styling on the way. But it takes time for new vehicles to come to market. In the meantime, Volvo is livening up some of its interiors with an updated Inscription Package on the 2015 XC60 (pictured above) and S80 debuting at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
The Inscription models see mostly interior improvements with Sovereign Hide leather covering the seats and more leather for the instrument panels, seatbacks, center armrests and embroidered headrests. Inlaid wood acts as decorative trim, and there are plush, new floor mats. Exterior changes are limited to the choice of colors, namely Crystal White Pearl, Electric Silver and - exclusively for the S80 - Ember Black. The XC60 Inscription comes with 20-inch, ten-spoke wheels, and the S80 receives 19-inch versions.
The package's changes are fairly small, but it adds a certain amount of opulence to the models until the new Volvos are ready. Scroll down to read the full details about them.
