Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"It was in Average shape until about 2 months ago. It had a bunch of issues at once and after fixing a few I'm giving up on it. It needs a new Alternator and Battery. It also needs to have the convertible top adjusted and have the expensive sensor that acknowledges the top is closed replaced(car beeps at you now). There is a hole on the inside lining of the top. It needs two front tire in the near future, they were out of alignment for too long. The last time I charged it, it didn't want to drive when put in gear, so there may be a mechaninical issue. The seats are leather but are worn and in poor shape. The stiching has come out in most of the passanger side seat, a little of the drivers side seat, and a spot in the back seat. There are several scuffs, tears, and scratches directly below the back window, which is shown in one picture. The front and back bumpers are scuffed and scratched in several places, and the back bumper has a cracked spot about the size of a golf ball."

I'm sorry to sell it but a bunch of issues popped up at once, so my loss is your gain.  While I see a lot of women driving this car, it always seemed more masculine than most convertibles with its wide stance.  It ran well until about 2 months ago, with good acceleration when you put the pedal down.  It handled pretty well on turns and stopped well.  It is a fun car to drive and the styling still looks good today, especially with the upgraded factory rims.  The issues I ran into and why I'm selling are listed in the condition description, but I'll list them in three groups in terms of priority.  


The battery*, alternator*, convertible top sensor**, and whatever mechanical issue* it has need to be looked at before this car is drivable.  
The tires need to be replaced in the near future (2-3 months?) as they are worn wrong but currently in alignment and the convertible top needs to be adjusted to be functioning so you get the convertible experience.  
The front and rear bumper and the seats are scratched, scrapped, and scuffed, also there is a hole in the convertible top interior liner***, if you want to improve the cosmetics, those are the problem areas. 

*I was told the battery and alternator needed to be replaced by Don Beyer Volvo, they didn't ID any mechanical issue but I"'m guess there is one.
**I put the convertible top sensor in the drivable list because the car will have a bell ringing constantly until that sensor is replaced.
*** I have never seen any leaking whatsoever from the top

I think it is actually the 2.4L, but I'm not sure so I checked 2.3L.  It has the upgraded Dolby Surround stereo.  Power Windows and roof.

I am the third owner and I serviced it regularly at Don Beyer in Falls Church.  I purchased it from my mother and I know she did the same.  The original owner was a middle aged woman my mother purchased it from.


This is local pickup only.  The car needs work, so it will have to be towed.  Buyer will be responsible for the towing.

How does a massive Volvo truck compare to a Koenigsegg on a track?

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

Volvo Trucks thinks that its latest FH semi truck has a little sports car DNA mixed in with the ability to haul heavy loads thanks to its novel dual-clutch gearbox. And the company's marketing department certainly has an intriguing strategy to get the word out about the big rig's sporty traits. First, it staged a prank on an unsuspecting valet on the Italian Riviera, and now the FH has lined up a track battle around the Knutstorp racetrack against Sweden's ultimate supercar - a Koenigsegg One:1.
Fifth Gear host Tiff Needell takes the reins of the big Volvo and spends a little bit of time talking up its I-Shift Dual Clutch gearbox. However, the real fun is seeing the FH taking on the One:1. Of course, a head-to-head battle would hardly be fair against these extremely mismatched opponents. Instead, the challenge is for the 1,360-horsepower Koenigsegg to lap the track twice in the same time or less than the semi can do it once.
You just have to watch the video to see how if the big rig rises to the challenge. Also, scroll down to read Volvo Truck's press release touting the new gearbox, and check out the company's YouTube channel for more views of the race and a behind-the-scenes look.

Your guide to vehicle subscription services

Mon, Oct 1 2018

They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.

Ford, Volvo join Redwood in EV battery recycling push in California

Mon, Feb 21 2022

Ford and Volvo will join battery recycling startup Redwood Materials in developing processes, starting in California, to collect end-of-life batteries from electric and hybrid vehicles and recover the materials for use in new batteries, the companies said Thursday. Redwood Materials, co-founded by former Tesla executive JB Straubel, formed an earlier partnership last fall with Ford to develop a “closed loop” or circular supply chain for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, from raw materials to recycling. On Thursday, Redwood Materials said it would work directly with dealers and dismantlers in California to identify and recover end-of-life battery packs. The materials in those packs will be recovered and recycled at Redwood Materials facilities in northern Nevada. U.S. automakers Ford and General Motors Co (GM) have said the battery recycling effort is crucial in efforts to develop a domestic supply chain to meet increasing EV demand. GM and battery partner LG Energy Solution last year announced a partnership with startup Li-Cycle to recycle battery scrap material from Ultium Cells, the GM-LG joint venture that is building battery plants in Ohio, Tennessee and Michigan. Redwood Materials has similar partnerships with battery makers Panasonic in Nevada and Envision AESC in Tennessee, as well as with Amazon. Ford and Amazon are among the investors in Redwood Materials. Reporting by Paul Lienert in Detroit; Editing by Mark Potter Green Ford Volvo Green Automakers Electric
