Instrument Cluster problems as most Volvos of this vintage experience. You can get one here on Ebay for $199.99. Gas, temperature and clock work fine, odometer stopped at 216k or so and speedometer doesn't function either. 


Blower motor blows fine on 1 speed and heat will roast you. Fan on high speed is noisy, but, like I said, on low speed runs great and will toast you good! Windshield wipers are fine and wiper fluid works great, too.

Passenger side windows go up and down nicely. Drivers windows are locked in the up position; too cold for me to take doors apart to see  what's wrong.

Motor purrs like your GrandMom's "Mixmaster," Transmission shifts nicely hot or cold. 

Body and interior are noteworthy; no tears in interior, perfect headliner too. Rubber trim still where it should be on doors (sometimes it shrinks on this Volvo series). Non smoker's vehicle. No kids, or pets either.

 Body is in very good shape, some paint nicks over the years but no rust holes or big spots (little ones either, that I can find.) The drivers rear door handle has been removed but the door still opens correctly and safely from the inside. I took the car to a body shop and was told that's an easy fix. I don't believe in putting money into used cars to sell them, however. If the car is safe, which this one is, I present it as is. Again, all safety features work and the motor and tranny are solid. No oil burning that I can detect. A friendly neighbor borrowed a hubcap from me; I suppose he'll (or she) will give it back. Tires are good on this doll, also.

All turn signals and lighting work safely and nicely. You could drive this one from Miami to Seattle if you wanted to, in my humble estimation. That statement DOES NOT IMPLY A WARRANTEE OF ANY SORT.

I sold this car to my friend's Mom in early 2006 after I had used it for a couple of years. She's 83 now and no longer driving, and asked me if I would buy it back. I did. It passed Indiana emissions, and I custom plated it. I AM A HUGE GUY, and its a bit restrictive for me to drive daily, now, so, all I am attempting to do is recoup what I gave her, and my license and title transfer fees. Its that simple.

New ebay'ers are dealt with accordingly; this is not lets make a deal and you don't win a prize for being highest bidder. You "earn" the right to pay me and take possession of this vehicle. I keep my listings clear for honest, experienced buyers who don't want prices driven up by someone new and broke, looking for thrills.

Uber hopes facilities in Detroit will help shape its autonomous future

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Hot off the heels of unleashing its fleet of self-driving vehicles in Pittsburgh, PA, Uber announced plans to open a new facility in the Detroit, MI area, reports Automotive News. The new facility was announced at an event hosted by Society of Automotive Engineers in Detroit, MI. Uber's vice president of global vehicle programs Sherif Marakby revealed the news, reports Automotive News. The facility is meant to help the ride-sharing company collaborate with suppliers and automakers in the area. There's no word on where Uber will build the new facility or how big it will be, as those factors have yet to be determined. Just like Pittsburgh, PA, Detroit, MI could become another testing ground for the ride-sharing company. The latest move to open a facility in the Detroit area comes after Uber offered users in Pittsburgh the chance to ride in one of its autonomous vehicle as it looks to gain vital real-world testing. Uber is utilizing a fleet of modified Ford Fusions. Earlier this year in April, the automaker announced a partnership with Google, Lyft, Uber, and Volvo to develop autonomous cars. A new facility in Detroit would strengthen the partnership and help Uber, as well as Ford put autonomous vehicles on the road faster.

How many other cars does it take to kill a Volvo?

Thu, 27 Dec 2012

We all know how safe Volvo cars are, but a European junkyard has decided to put it to the test by crashing, jumping and rolling the life out of an 850 wagon. While government tests use automated systems to crash new cars, the guys in this video do so with a driver behind the wheel. Aside from what looks like a safety harness and roll bar for the driver, it seems like this car is otherwise bone stock.
Not wanting to spoil the fun for you, we'll just point out that at the start of the video, our hero car looks pretty flawless, and by the end, well, let's just say the Craigslist ad for the car would say "needs some body work." Check out the video below to watch some stunts that even the Duke Boys might shy away from.

Tony Nicolosi named CEO of Volvo Cars North America

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

Volvo announced today that it has named Tony Nicolosi, president and CEO of Volvo Car Financial Services VCFS), as the new CEO of Volvo Cars of North America (VCNA). Nicolosi replaces John Maloney, who chose to leave due to family obligations after Volvo offered him a position in Europe.
Volvo says Nicolosi will remain president and CEO of VCFS while he assumes VCNA's top position. The Swedish automaker also says a "permanent successor [to Maloney] as President and CEO will be the subject of a later announcement."
The move comes as part of a management shakeup that's part of a "larger transformation taking place at Volvo," the automaker says.
