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.cars.com/volvo/s80/2004/expert-reviews http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/2004-Volvo-S80-Reviews-c5987 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. http://www.canadianblackbook.com/black-book-values/index/display/neworused/used/year/2004/make/Volvo/postalcode/K1S0B6/model/S80/mode/marketanalysis/trim/T6/style/4D%20Sedan/ 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).

Dealers mobilize to protect their margins from automaker subscription services
Fri, Aug 24 2018Six individual auto brands — Lincoln, Cadillac, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW and Volvo — have established or are trialing a vehicle subscription service in the U.S. Three third-party companies — Flexdrive, Clutch and Carma — run brand-agnostic subscription services. And three automakers — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and General Motors — have also launched short-term rental services. Dealers, afraid of how these trends might affect their margins, are building political and lawmaking campaigns to protect their revenue streams. So far, three states are investigating automaker subscriptions, and Indiana has banned any such service until next year. It's certain that those three states are the first fronts in a long political and legal battle. Powerful dealer franchise laws mandate the existence of dealers and restrict how automakers are allowed to interact with customers to sell a vehicle. On top of that, Bob Reisner, CEO of Nassau Business Funding & Services, said, "Dealers and their associations are among the strongest political operators in many states. They as a group are difficult for state politicians to vote against." In California earlier this year, the state Assembly debated a bill with wide-ranging provisions to protect against what the California New Car Dealers Association called "inappropriate treatment of dealers by manufacturers." One of those provisions stipulated that subscription services need to go through dealers, but that item got stripped out when dealers and manufacturers agreed to discuss the matter further. In Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a moratorium on all subscription programs by dealers or manufacturers until May 1, 2019, to give legislators more time to investigate. Dealers in New Jersey have taken their campaign to the state capitol, asking that the cars in subscription programs get a different classification for registration purposes. Automakers run the current subscription services and own the vehicles. Sign-ups and financial transactions happen online or through apps, leaving dealers to do little more than act as fulfillment centers to various degrees, with little legal recourse as to compensation amounts when they're called on to deliver or service a car. That's a bad base to build on for business owners who've sunk millions of dollars into their operations.
Chevy Malibu Hybrid wins 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year
Thu, Jan 21 2016From the Washington Auto Show today, Green Car Journal's Ron Cogan announced three different fuel-efficient vehicle awards. They were: 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year: Chevy Malibu Hybrid 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year: Volvo XC90 T8 2016 Green SUV of the Year: Honda HR-V The Volvo was nominated in two categories, but it did not win the Connected Green Car of the Year. Speaking of non-winners, the other green SUV finalists were the BMW X1 XDrive28i, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-3, and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. The other Luxury Green Car finalists included the BMW x5 xDrive40e, Lexus RX 450h, Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, and the Mercedes-Benz C350e. Finally, the Audi A3 e-tron, BMW 330e, Toyota Prius, and Volvo XC90 T8 were the runners up for Connected Green Car. 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year, Luxury Green Car of the Year Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has announced the winners of its prestigious 2016 Green Car Awards at a press conference held today during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day in Washington DC. Distinguished as 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year™ is Volvo's new XC90 T8. The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid tops the field as 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year™ and Honda's HR-V earns Green Car Journal's 2016 Green SUV of the Year™. "These are stand-out vehicles in an increasingly sophisticated and appealing field of 'green' cars," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "To make the cut as a finalist is a real achievement in itself considering the considerable competition in the market today. Rising to the top as award winners means these three exceptional vehicles set a benchmark in the auto industry's effort to create vehicles that are desirable and efficient, while also achieving environmental milestones so important for our driving future." The Green Car Awards are a key feature of The Washington Auto Show, the "public policy show" on the auto show circuit and one that puts a priority on safety and sustainability. "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Ron Cogan, whose eagerly anticipated suite of awards help shape the national conversation on the innovations that will drive our industry and country forward," said Geoff Pohanka, chairman of The Washington Auto Show.
Daimler and Geely collaborate to develop 'a highly efficient modular engine'
Wed, Nov 18 2020BERLIN — German car maker Daimler said on Tuesday it will cooperate with China's Geely to build next-generation combustion engines for use in hybrid vehicles. Efforts to share development costs come as the growth potential for combustion engines faces the twin threat of the COVID-19 crisis and stricter fuel-efficiency and emission rules. "The companies plan to develop a highly efficient modular engine," a spokesman for Daimler said, adding that it would be used in hybrid drivetrains and manufactured in Europe and China. Geely declined to comment. The modular engine will be used in cars under different marques at Geely and Daimler, a person familiar with the matter said on condition of anonymity as the companies are still in the early stages of developing the engine. News of the alliance was a surprise to Daimler's works council at its factory in Untertuerkheim, which specializes in electric and gasoline powertrain assembly. "We are speechless. There was not even a discussion about potential alternative manufacturing locations," said Michael Haeberle, the works council chief for Untertuerkheim. "We have the ability to build four-cylinder engines in Untertuerkheim, but there were no talks about it." Daimler said German factories will be retooled gradually to add electric drivetrains production. Most of the next-generation combustion engines will be made in China, business daily Handelsblatt reported. The alliance with Geely, which owns a 9.69% stake in Stuttgart-based Daimler, means that parts of Daimler's existing partnership with Renault could be pared back. A Renault source told Reuters that the Daimler-Geely project does not mean an end of cooperation between Daimler and Renault. Citing Daimler sources, Handelsblatt said the Daimler-Geely pact would save the German carmaker a "triple-digit million sum" — implying an amount above 100 million euros ($119 million) and less than 1 billion euros.
