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 !!!!!!!!

Car is sold as is where is. No warranty written or implied. 50% non refundable deposit of winning bid to be deposited in my Paypal account within 24 hours of auction close. Remaining 50% to be exchanged at vehicle pick up. Vehicle pick up will be no more than 7 days following end of auction. Winning bidder is responsible for all shipping costs and or logistics. No bidder with less than 98% feedback score will be awarded winning bid.

I know this sounds harsh but I've been screwed by eBay and people who buy cars and don't ever pay for them...i still have to pay eBay when they sell. So if your serious than you should have no problems with the above requirements.

Volvo V40 Cross Country gets the all-wheel drive it deserves

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

Want a rugged Volvo wagon? Gothenburg has two kinds to offer: there's the XC crossovers on the one hand and ruggedized wagons on the other. As we reported last month from the unveiling of the new XC90 in Sweden, Volvo plans on offering more Cross Country wagons in the future. But in the meantime, it has upgraded the existing V40 Cross Country with some key enhancements - not the least of which is the long-awaited addition of all-wheel drive.
Powertrain upgrades for Volvo's smallest soft-roader include the new T5 engine (a 1.7-liter turbo four producing 245 horsepower), an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The new powertrain is not only more capable, but also more environmentally friendly than the old T5 it replaces.
The enhanced V40 Cross Country launches in Europe mid-fall before being rolled out in other markets in the following months, but unfortunately the United States is not among them as the V40 is not offered Stateside in any configuration, which is a shame.

Volvo S60 Polestar entering limited production in Australia [w/video]

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

The Volvo S60 Polestar Concept may be entering limited production in Australia and, depending how the Aussies take to this Swedish super sports sedan, could then be made available worldwide. The news comes from Austrlia's GoAuto, which claims to have received early info from its sources inside Volvo and its tuning/motorsport arm, Polestar.
Polestar released a short teaser video this week (watch it below) of what appears to be the S60 Polestar Concept clipping the snowy apex of an ice track's turn. The only information given with the teaser were the words "Limited Edition. Soon in Australia." Unveiled last June, the S60 Polestar concept has since made the rounds at auto shows, visited Jay Leno's Garage, played on the track with its future competition, and even secured a home for itself with a buyer who reportedly is paying Volvo some $300,000 to own it.
The S60 Polestar Concept is about the meanest machine one can imagine making out of Volvo's sports sedan. Packing 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque from its heavily modified T6 engine, then routing those revolutions through a six-speed manual transmission to all four wheels, the S60 Polestar is said to cover the sprint to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds. A lower and wider body, brakes by Brembo, suspension bits by Ohlins and a diet to delete some weight make this car a serious issue for M3 and C63 AMG owners everywhere. GoAuto's sources say the production version's performance will be dialed back a bit from the concept's, but we'll have to wait until Volvo and Polestar make this sedan's production official to find out by how much.

Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
