1985 Volvo 240dl Low Miles on 2040-cars

Year:1985 Mileage:82800
Location:

Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States

Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States

I'm selling my 85 Volvo DL that I just bought.  Financial difficulties that arose soon after I bought this car have made selling it necessary.  I looked for a long time before finding the right car and this is it.  As you can see it has less than 83,000 miles and I only found one small rust spot on the car and that was in the driver's side spare tire area inside the trunk.  The top, hood and truck have faded paint but on the sides the paint is in remarkably good shape.  The car runs and drives beautifully and has absolutely no issues with engine, transmision, suspension or brakes.   I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere.  

The original Volvo radio works but the casette and power antenna don't.  The dash has some cracks.  The A/C cools but needs work.  The left tail light has been hard wired and will need some attention.  Except for these items I know of nothing the car needs.  I just changed the oil, putting in Royal Purple 5W30 and a premium filter.  It had a pinhole in the power steering reservoir which I repaired.  

I have figured out most of the history of the car from the books and a Carfax.  The Carfax only begins in 1990 but the owner's  manual (which is included) indicates it was bought in Atlanta at Chris Imports (now Marietta Volvo) on 11/3/1984.  The Volvo Service record book that came with the car was kept up until 8/19/1987 when it was serviced at 30260 miles at Chris.  The Carfax shows it received an emissions inspection in California on 10/9/1992 and had 61,810 miles on it.  A title was issued in Florida in 1997.  It was purchased from an estate in 2012 and sold to the gentleman I bought it from.  I believe I am the fourth owner if you count the person who bought it from the estate to sell.  The Carfax does not indicate any accidents with the car.

  Because I have told you everything I know about the issues the car please don't think it isn't a really a great car, because it is.  It is however a used car and I can't offer any warranties.  I can tell you I would not risk my reputation on Ebay to make a few bucks.  I try to avoid glowing terms that some sellers use knowing the winning bidder will be pleansantly surprised with, not disappointed in. their purchase.

Terms are $500.00 within 48 hours of close of bidding and the balance within five (5) working days by paypal or 7 working day by cash or financial instrument.  Any type of cashier's check or money order will have to clear before the car is released to a shipper.  I have a clear Florida title.  

OTHER:  Complete tuneup including fuel injection service, plugs, wires, and air filter at 70,744 miles on 7/21/2013.  On 6/10/13 it had a "prepump" installed which is the fuel pump in the tank I believe.  It has four matching Michelin tires with plenty of tread as shown in the pictures.

Volvo launches XC90 configurator site

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

In many ways the 2016 Volvo XC90 defines the future of the Swedish brand. The SUV is the introduction of the company's Scalable Product Architecture modular platform that should underpin most of its future models. It's also the first big chance to see whether consumers accept a model like this that's only available with four-cylinder power, granted a mill that is both turbocharged and supercharged. The configurator for this Swedish hopeful is just hitting the Web giving customers a chance to see what they think.
The only available powertrain on the XC90 at the moment is the 2.0-liter Drive-E with 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The base price starts at $48,900, plus $925 for destination, but that number can balloon quite quickly. Upgrading to the R-Design package tacks on $4,000 or the even plusher Inscription package adds $5,600.
Furthermore, there are several option packages to add some extra tech and comfort to the SUV. The Vision Package with a backup cam is an extra $1,600, two versions of the Climate package to keep occupants warm come to $1,050 and $1,950, respectively, and the Convenience Package that includes adaptive cruise control adds $2,000. Depending on trim, there are up to 13 colors available in an attractive variety, although all but two add $550 to the price. There are also a wide variety of leather upholsteries to choose from.

2015 Volvo Ocean Race XC60 priced from $42,100*

Mon, 10 Nov 2014

Every three years, a half dozen or so teams of sailors embark on an epic eight-month, round-the-world sailboat race formerly called the Whitbread Round the World Race and known since 2001 as the Volvo Ocean Race. This year's event started a month ago in Alicante, Spain, and will end next June at the Swedish automaker's hometown of Gothenburg. And to mark the occasion, just as it has in years past, Volvo has launched a special edition of one of its roadgoing models.
The Volvo Ocean Race XC60 was launched this weekend at the Miami Auto Show. Based on the XC60 crossover we know well, the limited edition is distinguished by its Ocean Blue II paintjob, unique 18-inch wheels, a choice of black or light leather interior with orange stitching and a series of special badges inside and out.
Buyers will be able to choose between the T6 Drive-E and T6 AWD models, priced from $42,100 and $43,600 respectively. That represents a $1,200 premium over models on which they're based, on top of which, Volvo has confirmed in correspondence with Autoblog, the usual $925 destination charge applies.

Volvo Concept Coupe is brand's 'next-generation P1800' [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013



Volvo is calling the Concept Coupe its "next-generation P1800."
The teasing can now officially come to an end - Volvo has released all the images, videos and details on its new Concept Coupe, and we're intrigued. The Swedish automaker is calling the concept its "next-generation P1800," and those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Fortunately, it's not all talk; there are clear links to Volvo's much-loved coupe in its shape, though we certainly wouldn't call the Concept Coupe 'retro.'
