Volvo 245 Wagon 169k Miles, Incredible Condition A/t, No Accidents, R134a on 2040-cars
Middletown, New York, United States
|
This is a survivor car. It is in really nice condition, with no body damage and no evidence of any accidents. The paint appears to be original, as well as all the trim. Only the windshield has been replaced and is not original. Their is a bit of surface rust in a few areas, and one small spot with a bit more that I tried to capture with the camera.
The car does have an upgraded radio, but surprisingly enough, still has the original tool kit including the Italian manufactured vice grip, which people almost always keep when they sell the car. This car also has the 3rd row seat which is in excellent condition; and the optional plastic Volvo floor mats in all locations, including the rear cargo section. This kept the carpet in extremely good condition. The A/C was converted to R134a in 2010 by a certified shop, whose sticker appears under the hood. In the past 40,000 miles the following repairs and maintenance have been done: Exhaust from cat back, radiator, trans fluid, oil changes( many), front pads, rear pads and rotors, head gasket and water pump, timing belt, Wires ,cap, rotor, and plugs, and airbox cleaned, motor mount, rear shocks.These were all done by the same repair shop. Drivers side trim is loose at the front fender. it is held on with double sided tape. Had I kept the car, I would have ordered the proper clips for it. I am the fourth owner and recently purchased it since I had been looking for one in this condition for a long time; and finally found this one. A week ago I agreed to buy another car and now I can't believe I am selling this one, but I am. A $500 deposit is required at the end of the auction by PayPal, Balance cashiers check or cash. I am located in Orange County NY and can arrange for airport pickup at Steward International Airport (SWF) if required. I can be contacted with questions at 845-239-2368 |

Volvo fires up S60 and V60 Polestar production
Mon, 30 Jun 2014We 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.
Heico jacks up Volvo V40 Cross Country to create XC40
Sat, 24 May 2014Because life isn't fair, we don't get the stylish wagon known as the Volvo V40 in the United States. That means we don't get its soft-roading cousin, the V40 Cross Country. So, naturally, if Volvo tuner Heico Sportiv ever produces this ruggedized, XC-styled V40 Cross Country, it most certainly wouldn't cross the pond, either.
That makes us sad, because despite holding a tiny bit of contempt for small luxury crossovers, this is a very, very cool looking vehicle. It's just a render right now, but Heico Sportiv is looking to offer the kit to V40 Cross Country owners who want a smaller version of the Volvo XC60.
Converting a V40 CC into an XC40 would start with some suspension tweaks. The ride height would be raised by just over an inch, in order to improve the looks of the soft-roader and deliver a more CUV-like ingress and egress. New shocks would also be fitted, as well. Wheel-arch extensions were also added to complete the look.
Volvo dealers pushing for V40 in America [w/poll]
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Not too long ago, Volvo effectively replaced three models with one. Those were the C30, S40 and V50, and their replacement came in the form of the V40. While its predecessors were available (at some point, anyway) in North America, the V40 isn't. And that's something that Volvo's players in the US would like to change.
According to Automotive News, both Volvo Cars of North America and its dealers are pressing the factory to reverse its decision and prepare the V40 for an American assault on the likes of the Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3. It's a game they won before with the current V60, which hasn't been available here, but is set to make the transatlantic voyage come the start of the new year.
This time, though, Volvo Cars of North America may have a bigger fight on its hands, because the V40 wasn't designed to meet US regulations. Getting it up to spec, then, may be a bigger challenge than it's worth. But if the American importer and dealer network makes its voice heard, the V40's replacement could be designed with US regulations in mind.
