This is a very nice well maintained 740 Volvo wagon with the reliable red block B230F engine. These cars easily can go 500+ miles and are some of the safest vehicles on the road. This was my mother's car and when she could no longer drive, she gave it to me.  I have had it for about four years and have spared virtually no expense in maintaining it.  I have all of my service records as well as my mothers.  It is a nonsmoker car and a daily driver. The car needs virtually nothing. Everything works as it should except the passenger heated seat. The AC blows cold and has been converted to the new refrigerant. I changed my own oil, used Volvo or better oil filter, 10-30 Mobil 1; doing this every 5000 miles. The transmission gets serviced every January and works perfectly. The timing belt has been changed on schedule professionally as well as tensioners, water pump etc. It has a K&N airfilter and a top of the line Diehard AGM battery. The cruise control works, rear wiper, and all lights. It tracks well, no drift, shimmey, rattle, or roll. The brakes have plenty of pad life:  50% and the rotors are good. No vibration on stopping. Tires have plenty of tread and are good quality with a good full size spare. Fuel filter has been changed, spark plugs, flame trap cleaned and this beautiful old gal is ready for the road. I would not hesitate to drive this Volvo to California or Maine.  It has the usual wear and tear of a daily driver. There are some dings and scratches here and there; but overall it is a well maintained and loved 740. I even replaced the head light lenses and note how clear they are. That is the attention to detail that this car has gotten. I do reserve the right to end the auction early for I am also offering this car for sale locally. I am selling for I do not use the car now enough to justify keeping it and I have too many cars in the stable. I wish I could keep every car I owned; but that is not realistic; let alone expensive. It you want this, then buy it. There is a lot of interest in Volvo wagons because they carry so much and are easy to work on (240/740/940). Don't let this 740 get away. It is one of the nicest! (Sorry some photos are turned the wrong way, I spent hours trying to turn them correctly.)

Next-generation Volvo XC90 could wear the Embla nameplate

Fri, Jan 21 2022

Volvo's next-generation XC90 will have a lot of firsts on its resume. It will inaugurate an evolution of the modular SPA2 platform that underpins the current model, it will be available with a new suite of driver assistance features, and it will reportedly adopt the Embla name. Citing a trademark application filed in Europe in 2021, British magazine Autocar believes it has uncovered the big SUV's new name. While a trademark or a patent filing is never a guarantee that a feature, a name or a car is right around the corner, we know that Volvo plans to ditch its alphanumerical naming system in the near future to start giving its cars real names. "We're going to give cars a name as you give a newborn child," explained outgoing company boss Hakan Samuelsson. He also confirmed the next XC90's name will start with a vowel. Embla, your author just learned, is the first woman created by the gods according to Norse mythology. Its etymology is seemingly lost to history. It appears that Volvo wants to build on the Thor's Hammer lights and continue putting its Swedish heritage front and center. Viewed in that light, Embla is a relatively good choice. It's reasonably easy to pronounce, even for folks outside of Scandinavia, and it's original; it's likely not a name that you hear on a daily basis. It's also relatively soft — Volvo Yggdrasil Recharge arguably has less of a ring to it.  Unofficial morsels of information allow us to piece together a vague idea of what to expect from the Embla. We hear the SUV will be loosely related to the Concept Recharge design study (pictured) that Volvo introduced in November 2021. If that's accurate, it won't look anything like the model that's currently in showrooms. It will be longer, higher off the ground, and built on a much longer wheelbase. Details about the powertrain are conflicting: some sources say the Embla will be entirely electric, while others believe it will also be available as a hybrid. Volvo is expected to unveil the Embla before the end of 2022, and the crossover will arrive in showrooms as either a 2023 or a 2024 model. An earlier report claims that production will take place near Charleston, South Carolina, where the firm currently builds the S60 sedan. And, to complete the history lesson: the first man created by the gods in Norse mythology was named Ask.  Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Volvo Concept Estate hauls in great expectations [w/videos]

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

You're looking at the third leg of Volvo's award-winning concept trilogy, the Concept Estate. Despite its banal name, this sweeping longroof showcar has our attention like few other cars at the Geneva Motor Show.
It's not just that we have a weakness for shooting brakes or Volvo's take on the genre in particular (we can see some P1800ES in this design). We just think this car is exceptionally well surfaced, with a fantastic stance and the sort of clean lines that are singularly appropriate of a Scandinavian design. We also appreciate the details that are expected to inform future production models, including the T-shaped headlamps, strong rear shoulders and floating grille mount. In fact, the vast majority of the Concept Estate's design idiom is expected to make it to showrooms in future models, starting with the long-overdue, second-generation XC90 crossover.
We hope - but don't expect - that attitude carries over to the interior, which has stunning, white leather, floating clamshell seats backed in plaid. If there's one cabin feature that's expected to make it to production, it's a derivative of the car's new infotainment system, which features a massive touchscreen with tablet-like gesture controls.

2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

For those not paying attention, Volvo has updated its S60 sedan range for 2015 with a new range of engines under the Drive-E label. Wearing the same T5 and T6 badges to note the relative levels of power under the hood, both engines are 2.0-liter four-cylinders, with the lesser being turbocharged and the greater being both supercharged and turbocharged.
Both Drive-E variants are currently only available in front-wheel-drive flavor, though Volvo will still happily sell you an S60 T5 AWD with the older 2.5-liter turbo five-cylinder, or a top-of-the-line S60 T6 with a turbo'd 3.0-liter six-cylinder and all the wheels turning.
The car I drove for a week is perhaps the most balanced version of the S60 range, with that exotic sounding twin-charged 2.0-liter mill planted happily in the attractively sloping nose. Provided you're not hung up on front-drive dynamics, the T6 Drive-E might be a solid candidate for your next premium small sedan shopping list, as well.
