I bought this car last week after selling my 4x4.  Although it has plenty of room, runs great and is in great condition, I am not used to sitting down so low!  So I am listing it for sale and probably going to buy something that sits up a bit higher!

Runs good, looks good.  This is NOT a turbo so it gets good gas mileage.  I am including a TomTom GPS because the speedometer does not work and the TomTom shows your speed.

Has a nice sound system and speakers with CD player.

All leather interior - feels like you are sitting on the couch at home when driving - it is SOOO COMFY!

The former owner recently had lots of upkeep and maintenance done to it such as new brakes, new tires, new timing belt, new battery, oil change, tune up, exhaust work.  This is from what he told me last week and what he had posted in his ad.  It has a newer muffler which sounds like a subaru.

I require a $100 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT through PayPay within 24 hours of auction closing.  Then I require the balance IN CASH when we meet IN PERSON to deliver the car to you.  I am in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  I will make a reasonable effort to deliver the car nearby.  For example, if you are in Denver and have transportation difficulties, I may deliver it to you and take a bus home BUT this is entirely up to my discretion and work schedule.  Most likely, you will need to take a bus to me and drive it home.


Everything works and is good on this car except the specifics that are mentioned below:
Windshield has crack & will need to be replaced, 
rear driver side taillight is cracked, 
small dent next to driver side headlight, 
scratch on driver side door near bottom.  
Speedometer & gas gauge do not work - BUT I am including a TomTom GPS which shows your MPH.    (Mechanic has suggested that ground wire may be off in dash) 
A/C may need charge.
Sunroof works but needs new seal - has tape sealing it now.  
I have included photos specifically of these issues.

There are no guarantees whatsoever on this car as I have only had it for one week but the prior owner had maintained it well.

Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?

Tue, Jul 31 2018

My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash — Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche — and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles — the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.

Volvo recommits to Sweden with development of next-gen platform and engines

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

Taking 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.

Volvo makes the XC60 disappear into art

Sun, 16 Jun 2013

For the last few years, Volvo has set up an art display in the Zurich, Switzerland central train station called the Volvo Art Session, allowing select artists - both established and up-and-coming - to create temporary exhibits with one of Volvo's products acting as the centerpiece. This year, six artists from across Europe converged in Zurich to turn a 2014 Volvo XC60 into a work of art.
Each started with a blank white canvas, creating a massive display in what Volvo says is one of the busiest covered public places in Europe, and after each was done, it was all erased for the next artists to come in and do his or her thing. While some made the XC60 a focal point in the art, others made the crossover seemingly disappear. We have a gallery of all six finished pieces, but if you want to see background of the artists or time-lapse videos of their works, head over to VolvoArtSessions.com. This site also shows the exhibits from the prior two years, and a press release can be found below.
