Selling my super rare Volvo 850R. This is a really fast turbo-engine sedan that will definitely get you where you need to go quickly. The car is in fantastic shape. It has a clean carfax and is accident free. Owned by responsible owners in a smoke free environment. 

You will not be disappointed with this car! Very very clean and super fun to drive. I would be happy to show the car to anyone who wants to come see it. Just contact me and we can work something out. Also feel free to ask any questions!



A Brief History: 
I bought this car a while ago from a very reputable, local Volvo mechanic. As you can see from the maintenance section below, he took extremely good care of the car and replaced a lot of essential parts like the timing belt, heater core, tires, shocks etc. (all very recently too, so you wont need to do any of that) Check maintenance records below for more details. I used the car as a commuter for a while, but i am no longer in need of a second car so i have decided to sell it.

Exterior:
The body is perfect with hardly in dings or scratches. Included on this model is the sport package. It has the special R front bumper with a lip, the R rear spoiler and side skirts. The wheels are 7x17 7-spoke heavy duty volan alloy wheels. All are straight but they all have a little road rash (some more than others). Tires are all very nice with at least 85% tread left with only 16,000 miles on them. Also comes with a full size spare in the trunk.

Interior:
The interior is in wonderful shape as well. As you can see from the pictures, the seats are in beautiful shape. Only the driver side is a little worn, but its still pretty nice. Seats are heated. It has graphite grey leather with dark alcantara suede seat and door inserts, burled black walnut wood trim on instrument panel and floor console with Graphite carpeting/interior plastics and polished aluminum door sills. Also has light Grey leather gearknob, seat piping, hand break and steering wheel insert. Audio: 200w amplifier with 8-speaker audio system and a SC-805/815 in-dash CD player. Sun roof is also a nice addition for the summer.

Maintenance:
180,000 miles: Replaced shifter console bulbs, rear engine seal, front and rear O2 sensors
195,000 miles: A/C evac and recharge, replaced head gasket and valve guide seals, 4 cam seals
216,000 miles: Replaced A/C evaporator, heater core, pollen cabin filter
218,000 miles: Replaced, r side ball joints and control arms, Timing Belt
224,000 miles: 4 New UHP Cooper Tires, 4 New Bilstein HD Shocks 
 Oil, filter and break pads changed on a very regular basis.

Tasteful Modifications:
Eibach Lowering springs
Strut Brace
Samco Sport hoses
v70 rain diverters
Black IPD mesh grill with 'Volvo Slash'
Tinted windows

Needs:
In need of new trunk strut. 
PMP switch. Very standard replacement. The connection is causing a the yellow arrow to go off on the dash every now and then and should probably be replaced at some point. Not a serious problem though.

Volvo shows off 345-hp S60 and V60 Polestar

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We showed you the hot, new Volvo V60 Polestar a few months back and raved about the fact that this long-roofed family car can hit 60 miles per hour in just 4.9 seconds. Now, we're seeing it and its four-doored brother, the S60 Polestar sedan, in person for the first time.
As we told you when the V60 Polestar was unveiled, both cars are motivated by a 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-cylinder that generates 345 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, with peak twist arriving between 2,800 and 4,750. Power is channeled to a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system via a six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and launch control.
Both Polestar models benefit from a suspension that features Öhlins shocks, while they ride on 20-inch "bespoke" wheels. Six-cylinder Brembo calipers clamp down on 14.6-inch rotors in front, meaning these Volvos should come to a stop as quickly as they get going.

Volvo working to allow groceries delivered to your car, even when you aren't there

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Volvo cites research showing that 60 percent of online shoppers had problems with their deliveries in 2013, and that missed first deliveries cost the industry roughly one billion euros ($1.37B US) in re-delivery costs, as impetus for its "Roam Delivery Service" that delivers packages to your car. The service uses Volvo On Call and Sensus Connect car-connectivity and telematics apps already installed in vehicles, and a digital key with a timed window of operation.
The car owner is notified if delivery to or pickup from the car would be the best option, which they then have the option to approve or decline. If approved, the position of the vehicle is sent to the delivery driver, as well as a digital key that can open the car. Once the delivery has been made, the owner is notified and the digital key is erased, leaving only a time stamp to record when the car was opened and then locked.
The technology will be shown to the public at the Mobile World Congress later this month. There's a video and a press release below with more on the details.

Leno drives Volvo P1800 from Roger Moore's The Saint

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

Outside of a few notable exceptions, Volvo usually isn't associated with making beautifully curvaceous vehicles. But in the 1960s and early '70s the company proved with the P1800 that its cars didn't only have to be safe but staid family transportation. Underneath that shapely styling were a lot of components from the brand's parts bin, but that didn't bother Roger Moore when he drove one of these in the TV series The Saint. Actually, the future James Bond actor didn't just get behind of one of these; he owned this exact 1967 P1800 S. It's this week's highlight on Jay Leno's Garage.
Moore was the car's original owner, but it also appeared in studio scenes of The Saint. Despite its famous provenance, when owner Bill Krzastek bought the P1800 in England, it was in pretty rough shape. The Volvo underwent a nine-month restoration to get it back into shape, which included some new body panels and wheels. Krzastek claims that much of the interior is original, though.
Krzastek comes off has a little bit nerdy, but you have to give him credit. He absolutely loves his Volvo and knows something about practically every detail of his car's history. Krzastek even refinanced his house to fund the purchase and restoration of the P1800. Although, with the right maintenance these old Swedes have been known to go millions of miles. Enjoy this look at one that was a star of the screen in the '60s.
