This is the high end Volvo 20 Valve turbo sedan, with the biggest engine Volvo made.  This one has the sport package with the faring on the back. Google videos to see spinning smoking tires.  Runs fantastic with roughly 60k miles since new engine. Spent most of it's life out west with my dear old dad and is has been babied, probably his midlife crisis car. The last 3 years it has been in New York, used as a weekend beach car.  

The Good: Has sunroof and comes with Thule rack. It's fantastic for city errands and getting to the beach with your friends and surfboards or trips out to montauk. Will even move plywood with the rack. Has 170k miles and purrs like a kitten. I'm only selling it because I'm getting a new van for work. 

The bad: Some body damage-dent in passenger door, missing antennae-(10 disc cd changer works great) and gas cap cover removed. Stuck ignition key (I have an extra key to lock door), but for now the main key lives in the ignition.  Check engine light is on because of an air leak in the top of the gas tank, but this isn't an issue and the car is exempt from having the check engine light off. 

Recently invested $140 for a new battery last week, $1000 in replacing the ac compressor and belt this month (read: ice cold ac), new tires, struts this year.  Over $5k invested over last 3 years.

Volvo eying return to 100k US sales to ensure dealer profitability

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

Struggling Volvo may be on a verge of a renaissance thanks to the forthcoming completion of its lauded concept car trilogy, new Drive-E engine family and much-discussed SPA modular platform. Its nascent renewal is mostly being financed by $11-billion in funding from its Chinese parent company, Geely, and if it all goes right, Volvo hopes to sell 100,000 cars a year in the States by 2016. That milestone is vital, because it would ensure Volvo's US dealer network is profitable, according to Volvo CEO Håkan Samuelsson.
In a new Ward's Auto story, Samuelsson notes that his company is launching a slate of fresh products in the coming years, including the new-to-the-US V60 wagon and mid-cycle updates for its S60 sedan and XC60 crossover. But the most important new vehicle will be the recently spied XC90 that is expected to be unveiled just before the end of this year. Samuelsson is also looking at future vehicles for the US, including replacements for the S80 and V70. The V40 is also planned for the US, but not until the next generation, according to the Volvo CEO.
Of course, it's going to take a lot to reach 100,000 US sales in three years. Volvo sold just 61,233 units here in 2013, and according to WardsAuto, Volvo hasn't sold 100,000 cars in the US since 2007. To reach its goal, Volvo's stateside business will need to grow sales by about 40 percent.

See Volvo's integration of Apple CarPlay in action

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Apple unveiled its new CarPlay touchscreen infotainment system earlier today, and Volvo has just released a video showing the system in action. The Cupertino tech giant is expected to announce partnerships with Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz to license CarPlay, as well, at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and will be working with even more manufacturers in the future.
The system pairs the driver's iPhone with the car's infotainment system and seamlessly allows them use the smart phone's functions and, at least in Volvo's demonstration, the car's climate control and seat heating systems. According to the video, the new system will be available "in the coming generation Volvo cars," which likely means the upcoming, next-generation Volvo XC90.
However, the system will not work universally. Apple will add functionality through an update to iOS 7 in the future for the iPhone 5, 5C and 5S. At launch other devices won't be supported. Scroll down to watch CarPlay work. We are expecting more details to emerge on the new infotainment system when the Swiss show opens tomorrow.

Volvo confirms V60 Sportswagon engine lineup for US

Fri, 13 Sep 2013


In addition to revamping its entire 2014 lineup, Volvo has already promised us that we'll be getting the V60 wagon early next year, but now the Swedish automaker has confirmed that sexy wagon will go on sale in January. If that's not good enough for you diehard station wagon models, there's even better news: An available R-Design model will be the "fastest and most powerful wagon in Volvo history."
The V60 R-Design will have a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine under the hood producing 325 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Other engines available in the wagon will include the company's well-regarded turbo inline-five along with a new turbo inline-four wearing the Drive-E name. Volvo says Drive-E can "offer the opportunity" to add electrification, but there's no word as to whether or not the US will receive a V60 plug-in model. Also not yet released are fuel economy, vehicle specs and pricing. More information about the V60 and its powertrains are available in the official press release posted below.
