Rescued from a Texas used car dealership and carefully restored here in Jersey. Here's the real story of Grandma Boone as told to me by her husband and grandson: Carol Boone loved her Turbo and she was very particular about it. Sending it back for local repairs frequently with many minor complaints. I have pages of paperwork with complaints like "whistling noises", "groaning brakes", "uncomfortable seats", "improperly adjusted a/c vents" etc. It's actually pretty funny but Mrs Boone was not shy about spending money on her Volvo. I hold most, if not every, major repair receipt. She rarely drove the car and always kept it in the garage. As she grew older in the 1990's she drove the car less and less frequently. By the end of the 90's, it just sat in the garage. In 2002 it had 12k on the odometer when Mrs. Boone spent over $3500 to put it back on the road. She replaced the gas tank, fuel pumps, lines, distributor, new belts (including timing), trans & coolant flush, oil change, etc. In Summer of '03 she backed into a Texas roadside irrigation ditch and did $1624 of repair damage. Mostly the muffler and rear bumper. Carfax reflects this single minor accident and I have the auto body repair receipt. The accident ended Grandma Boone's driving days and unfortunately she passed away in 2005. Her husband and adult grandson drove the car around locally from 16-24k miles then traded the car into a Texas used car dealership this past summer for . . .... $1000. (They reportedly bought another Volvo if that makes you feel any better). I saw the car advertised on Craigslist and bought it sight unseen then shipped it to Jersey for restoration. So this actually is Grandma's original Turbobrick stored in a Texas time capsule for 3 decades. Interior- The leather seats are soft. Yes, soft tan leather seats. No rips or cracking only minor wear. No dash cracks with only minor sun fading throughout. Sunroof operates perfectly as well as all gauges, switches, chimes and lights. The A/C blows cold as it should. Exterior- The paint is in fantastic shape. A minor blemish here and there but nothing close to clear coat breakdown. One very small ding on drivers front wheel well. Again, there is no rust anywhere on this car. I also have an undercoating receipt from summer of '83. The rims are in excellent shape. Best Virgo's I've ever seen. Only one or two spots of very light rash out of 4. The original optional red bumper stripe is still attached but parts of the stripe are peeling. Mechanics- The car runs and handles perfectly and it's a complete joy to drive. You really get an idea of how tight these cars felt right off of the showroom floor. No record of a wiring harness replacement but there is no need. The original looks nearly perfect. I don't think you could find a used Turbo harness in better shape. Staged 0'd. Bougicord plugs, wires, cap, rotor and oil filter. Bosch alternator Cleaned grounds, replaced fuses, new battery Minor issues- The fuel filter is not OEM Pictures show the Alpine head unit and old glove box lock but both have been properly replaced. Later style rear deck tabs in pictures have been replaced with correct ones. I have a spare tire cover on the way also. Proper plush tan floor mats included. I simply ran it through the car wash for pictures. It would look even better after a nice detailing. Swag around your local meet in style. This car could easily be concourse shown. Maybe drop in an M46? Or it could be stripped down for an epic rebuild around the flawless shell. Or maybe just store it away as a retirement investment (it will surely appreciate in value more than your IRA). Car is currently located in 08501 New Jersey and available for prompt inspection. I am just off Exit 7a of the NJ Turnpike (I-95). I am also very close to Route 1, Route 130, I-195, and trains. NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor line stops nearby in Hamilton and Amtrak stops in Trenton. I'm also 45 mins from Newark and Philly airports. I am also willing to ship this car at 100% your expense. I hold the clean title in hand and will not release it to you without full confirmed payment 12/6 Item relisted because original listing had an incorrect VIN #. (Vin's can't be edited, only relisted) |

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Volvo recommits to Sweden with development of next-gen platform and engines
Tue, 04 Dec 2012Taking into account the facts that Volvo is now owned by China's Geely and how poorly the European automotive market has been recently, we would have definitely understood if Volvo moved production of its products out of its home market. And yet, the automaker has confirmed that it will be investing billions of dollars into new platforms and engines that will be made in Sweden. On a global scale, Volvo is making roughly $11 billion of investments, and close to half of that is being earmarked for Sweden for plant expansion and upgrades.
The new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform will be the used as the basis for most future Volvo products starting with the next-generation XC90 that will be debuting at the end of 2014. SPA will be used to make up two-thirds of Volvo's sales, and gives Volvo a quicker and easier break from Ford-derived platforms. As for the Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) family of engines, there are really no details about this mill except that it will be a four-cylinder that is more fuel efficient than current engines.

Jaguar XF S Sportbrake vs. Volvo V90 R-Design: A sporty wagon comparison
Thu, Apr 26 2018We had both a XF Sportbrake S and a V90 T6 AWD R-Design come through the office recently, and since they're really close competitors – both fairly large wagons, both luxury vehicles, both have sporting pretenses, and both feature all-wheel-drive. And in the case of our test cars, they're equipped very similarly, but at divergent price points. Is the Jaguar worth the premium? Let's take a closer look. The Jaguar is only available in the top-level S trim, which brings many features, as well as all-wheel-drive and a 380-horsepower supercharged 3.0-liter V6. The final price listed for our Jaguar was a heady $84,815, up from a base price of $71,445. That's thanks to a bunch of options: the $360 black trim package, the $565 metallic paint, the $1,020 20-inch wheels, the $3,495 driver assistance package, $3,265 technology package, $1,805 comfort and convenience package, and $2,860 premium interior package. View 22 Photos The Volvo is available in a variety of configurations. In fact, you can have a V90 R-Design for as little as $50,945, but you'll be making do with the front-wheel-drive T5 model that has just a 250-horsepower turbocharged four-cyinder. To match the Jaguar's feature set and to nearly match its performance, you need to go with the T6 with all-wheel-drive. In addition to powering all four wheels, it also adds the 316-horsepower twin-charged four-cylinder. The engine and drivetrain add about $6,000 to the T5's price tag. The rest of our V90's price increase was made up by a lot of options, including a Convenience Package for $1,900 that came with heated washer nozzles, a surround view camera, grocery bag holder, HomeLink, a compass, and automatic parallel parking. Other options included the upholstered instrument panel and sun shade for $1,150, metallic paint for $595, heads-up display for $900, built-in child seat for $500, carbon fiber trim for $800, Bowers and Wilkens sound system for $3,200, heated steering wheel for $300, rear air suspension for $1,200, 20-inch wheels with summer tires for $300, and the destination charge. All told, it cost $68,290, which is close to the base price of the Jaguar, but a whole lot less than the Jag's as-tested price, making the Volvo a great value. Interior and Technology But value isn't the only reason to buy a car, especially a luxury car. You want it to feel luxurious.
