Car History and Care:
The car has been babied by a (border-line, obsessive) Volvo enthusiast. I have been the only owner and my wife has been the only other driver. It has never been smoked in and has only carried adult passengers. Every scheduled service interval and recall has been performed within the recommended time frame. Synthetic oil was introduced at the start and there have been two oil changes per year regardless of mileage. Twice a year I have applied the Mothers 4 stage wash/wax process to the paint. The leather is cleaned and conditioned twice a year. The engine has been warmed up every time and cooled down if I've been out on a highway.

There wre two incidents involving insurance claims – one door ding and the second involved a tree branch that landed on the hood. In both cases it was cosmetic damage. The car has never been in an accident. Two mechanical issues which were solved - one with a slower than usual acceleration (solved at the ECU level) and a clunking in the front end (solved by replacing a suspension arm). All service and repairs (mechanical and body) were performed at the dealership (Carling Motors, Ottawa).

The major 100Km. service interval was just performed ($1000) as well as new front brake pads and rotors ($450). The car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) has been flashed with the latest version.

Current State: The car has three door dings and 4 smallish scrapes on the bumper and rims and a few nicks in the interior. Everything electrical and mechanical is functioning perfectly. The acceleration is as strong as it was 10 years ago (therein lies the difference between Volvo and the Germans). The paint and interior are exceptionally clean. The highlights of this car are; low mileage; predicted dependability; comfort (the seats are best in the business); performance; safety; space; a very good audio system.

Durability: Volvo tries to build all their cars with longevity in mind. When they succeed the results are extraordinary and I believe this S80 is one such example. Below I have listed a number of web sites below that post professional and owner's reviews on this car. As you read through the reviews keep this in mind - “Generally, if you take care of a car, it will last.” After owning 3 Volvos over 20 years I know this to be true. (Please note some of the reviews are related to the normally aspirated 2.8 litre and to earlier model years). There are the usual amount of haters.

http://www.carsurvey.org/reviews/volvo/s80/2004/

Idiosyncrasies: Typical of this generation of S80's is an intermittent clunking noises from the undercarriage. The noise usually appears after a slow impact bump, such as a unusually high speed bump. It may hang around for a few hours and then quiets down. These noises are a result of a misaligned cover at the top of the front struts. It is not a structural nor safety issue. Repalcing the covers is not worth the money. BTW - I haven't heard anything for almost two months now.

There is a K&N air filter installed as a performance enhancement. While it does improve performance the in-city gas mileage is reduced by 22-25%. Funny though, the highway mileage stays the same. The installation of the standard Volvo air filter would bring the mileage back to normal.

Price: $7900

The Canadian Black Book lists the Trade-in value (what the dealer will give you) between $5141 and $7991. The same site suggests the average asking price is $8943.

VMR Canada (associated with Edmonds) lists the S80 as wholesale $7900 and retail $10,075.

http://www.vmrcanada.com/value_menus/canprices/04vv80es.html

The current national average (Auto Trader, Kijiji, eBay) is $8060 for cars with 50-100% more mileage.

Given all of the above I think the asking price is reasonable (and relaistic).

2018 Buick Regal TourX vs. wagon competitors: How it compares on paper

Wed, Jan 31 2018

To the great joy of auto enthusiasts nationwide, wagons are back! Well, at least there's a few more of them. The latest is the 2018 Buick Regal TourX, which we just had our first drive of and found to actually be quite good with pleasant handling, solid power and plenty of space. But, how does the TourX compare to other cladded wagons? Well, let's dive into the specs and fire up the ol' spreadsheet maker for Buick Regal TourX vs Subaru Outback vs Audi A4 Allroad vs VW Alltrack vs Volvo V60 Cross Country. True, some are from mainstream brands and others are from luxury marques, but Buick straddles both realms, so it's appropriate to look at them all. Of course, there's more to these cars than just the numbers, but they're still important, and in the case of this class of crossover-aping wagons, can vary more than you'd expect. So check out the specs in the chart below, which are followed by more analysis and photos of each. Discover and compare other wagons and crossovers with our Car Finder and Compare tools. Engines and Transmissions When comparing powertrains, the Buick is far-and-away the winner as far as torque is concerned, and is in a nearly three-way tie for horsepower. Its 295 pound-feet of torque is 22 lb-ft more twist than the next-most-grunty Audi A4 Allroad. And in regards to power, the Buick's 250-horsepower engine is only down 6 hp to the most-powerful Subaru and its optional naturally aspirated flat-six, and just 2 hp less than the Audi. At the bottom of the pack is the Subaru Outback with the standard naturally aspirated flat-four, which only makes 174 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque. That may not seem too bad compared with the VW Golf Alltrack, which only makes 170 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque, but the VW is much lighter by between 200 and 300 pounds. Transmission-wise, there's quite a bit of variation in the group. The Regal TourX and the Volvo V60 Cross Country rely on eight-speed automatics, all Outbacks use CVTs, and the Alltrack and Allroad have dual-clutch automated manual transmissions with six and seven gears, respectively. But for people that want to shift for themselves, the only option is the Volkswagen, which offers a traditional six-speed manual transmission on the Golf Alltrack. Cargo and Interior Space One of the main reasons to buy a wagon is for the body style's large cargo capacity. And for the most space for things and stuff, you'll want to check out the Subaru and the Buick.

Sunday Drive: Volvo hits a crossover home run, and people still love sports cars

Sun, Sep 24 2017

Looking back at the week that just was clearly tells us at least three things. First, crossovers don't have to be boring. Second, people still love sports cars, from the attainable (Audi TT RS) to the fanciful (Mercedes-AMG GT C). And finally, the traditional German trio of premium luxury brands had better not rest on their laurels, because credible challengers are coming in from every direction. The biggest reveal of the week, at least judging by the interest of Autoblog readers, was the Volvo XC40. Not only is the little 'ute a looker, it introduces some innovative new buying/leasing schemes designed to appeal to an audience accustomed to trading in and trading up every couple of years. Think of Volvo's flat-fee lease as you would a smartphone contract, and you'll be on the right track. Genesis looks to have a hit on its hands in the form of the G70 sport sedan. We took a Korean-spec model for a spin and found a lot to like about the upstart contender. We can't wait to sample one here in the United States to see how it stacks up against the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In other news, we're still really excited to see a production Ford Ranger Raptor. But if you just can't wait for the official reveal — it's OK, neither can we — take a look at the renderings in our post down below. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry.
