Greetings everyone:) 

IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE EVERYONE TIME I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS VEHICLE IN EVERY LITTLE DETAIL I COULD THINK OF. SO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT! 

1996 Volvo 850R wagon up for sale with currently 146xxx miles. If you're a car enthusiast, you already know how RARE this particular model is. Especially in this kind of condition. I have taken it on a few local Volvo club ride alongs and received quite a few compliments. As you can see, this Volvo has been very well taken care of. Spending a majority of her life behind closed doors. The original paint is still in stunning condition. The color is "Flame Red", and was limited in production.

The interior is pretty much just as impressive and shows very few if any flaws. It is all tear free and still provides very comfortable support. The rear seats have barely been used. All of the wood grain trim is still crack free. The sunroof opens and closes with ease and does not leak. This wagon is very spacious and can easily fit two people to "camp out" in the back with the seats folded down which just takes seconds. The window tint gives you full privacy. It also has two separate rear cargo covers that easily pull out and retract, as well as a Weather Tech waterproof cargo liner. 

This Volvo has never been smoked in, and is free of any accidents or "fender benders". Speaking of safety. This model has a front and side airbag system, along with front and rear anti-roll bars. Both the front and rear suspension are still very solid and I have also had a Torsion Bar installed which is a $185.00 upgrade. This car handles and performs like a dream! While the original paint is near perfect, there are only a few spots with minor surface scratches. The front bumper has very low clearance so this is very difficult to avoid ( see pics ). It would be considered "particular" of me to even mention it. 

This Volvo has ZERO RUST! All four tires have about 80% of their tread left including the full size and matching spare. The front and rear brakes are also near new. The timing belt also only has about 15K miles on it. The rear main seal was replaced and updated less than 3K miles ago, which is a well known failure on these models. All of the fluids are clean and filled to their proper levels. This car has absolutely no leaks. Oil changes have been completed every 3K miles.

It has an automatic transmission, which shifts very smoothly and on time. The 5 cylinder 2.3 liter engine produces an incredible 250 horsepower (179 kW) @ 5600 rpm and 221 lb·ft (300 N·m) @ 2100 rpm. Not that I am encouraging anyone to be a speed demon, these facts are good to know:) It has a rating of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and with a top speed of 158 mph. I suspect that the previous owner has "upgraded" the Turbo system as this 850R provides seat pinning power compared to other ones I have driven. You will be amazed on how gas friendly this car is! There is a significant difference when using the Economy or Sport mode which is as easy as pushing a button. There is also a Winter mode, and traction control system.  All of the electronics work great! 

Other options include:
Power Windows
Power locks
Factory alarm system
Locking glove box
Locking storage compartment
Power sunroof 
Dual Power heated seats 
On board computer ( measures fuel economy etc ) 
Power mirrors 
Cruise control
Ice Cold air conditioning 
Privacy glass 
Original Volvo radio with tape cassette and cd player & premium sound 


The only reason I am selling is the need to down size my garage candy. Otherwise this Volvo would stay in the family for life.

This Volvo comes with a Clean California Title, Current Ca registration until July 2013, Owners manual and service records, clean Carfax Report, original 850R floor mats, full size and matching spare tire and wheel and two sets of original Volvo keys. If you are a California buyer I will provide a new smog certificate with purchase. I am happy to assist with shipping and or airport pickup from the San Diego airport ( SAN ). Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns, or to schedule a test drive..Please note that I may end this auction at anytime. Good luck and happy bidding!

Daimler, Geely mull China as production hub for hybrid powertrains

Sun, Nov 22 2020

FRANKFURT — Daimler and Geely on Friday said China could emerge as a manufacturing and export hub for hybrid powertrains jointly developed for Volvo and Mercedes-Benz cars. Earlier this week, Daimler said it would cooperate with China's Geely to build next-generation combustion engines for use in hybrid vehicles. The engines will be produced in China as well as in Europe, and Geely and Daimler will cooperate in engineering, sourcing and production, the companies said in a joint press release. "The export of the engine from China is considered to be an option," the release further said. Mercedes-Benz aims for more than half of its passenger car sales to be comprised of plug-in hybrids or purely electric vehicles by 2030. Geely is ChinaÂ’s most internationally known automaker. It owns Volvo Cars and Lotus, almost half of Proton and 9.7% of Daimler. Through wholly owned company Polestar, it builds low-volume Polestar 1 hybrid performance cars in the western city of Chengdu and Polestar 2 volume sedans in Taizhou in the east. "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. 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. An Conghui, President of Geely Holding Group, President and CEO of Geely Auto Group said: “This project reflects the need for economies of scale and targeted research and development investment in clean and highly efficient powertrains and hybrid drive systems and their applications." Geely also plans to build a plant with annual manufacturing capacity of 30,000 premium EVs in the western city of Chongqing, run by a wholly owned, newly registered company, according to documents on its website. Geely and Polestar declined to comment. The plan comes as foreign automakers including BMW AG and Tesla expand EV production in the worldÂ’s biggest market, sourcing major EV components such as batteries locally and often even exporting a portion of the vehicles it builds.   Auto News Earnings/Financials Green Plants/Manufacturing Mercedes-Benz Volvo Green Automakers Future Vehicles Hybrid

Which car companies are creating new jobs in America?

Fri, Sep 22 2017

Since January, automakers have announced investments totaling $9.5 billion in U.S. plants, creating or retaining more than 12,000 jobs. Some of those companies have yet to announce just how many jobs will be created given their investments, with the location of many of those jobs still to be determined. Specifically, the 4,000-job Toyota-Mazda joint venture plant still hasn't announced its location, with numerous states jockeying for it. Hyundai has plans to invest $1 billion but has not announced a jobs number yet. And likewise Ford is investing $1.2 billion in Michigan without specifying a number of jobs. Volvo this week announced plans to add a second line to its factory under construction in South Carolina, spending another $500 million and adding 2,500 jobs to the 2,000 it was already trying to fill. Then Thursday, Daimler announced a $1 billion expansion to its facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce EV batteries and electric SUVs, a move that will add 600 jobs to its hiring this year. Above, we've created a handy pie chart showing you which companies have announced new jobs and how many there will be.

Sunday Drive: And now for something completely different

Sun, Dec 17 2017

This past week played host to a wide assortment of automotive news, highlighted by our first drive of the 2018 Volvo XC40. The Swedish crossover is targeted at young, successful Millennials, but it offers cool styling, fun dynamics, and all of today's must-have technology, so we think it ought to appeal to a much wider swath of the automotive marketplace. From there we answer the question, "What are hard on the outside and soft on the inside?" as we take a look at the next Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. We expect the German automaker's flagship luxury SUV to remain boxy on the outside, but the interior is going to be soft, supple, and luxurious. And then there's the Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid, which starts at starts at $34,290 and boasts 212 total system horsepower, 232 pound-feet of torque, 47 miles of electric driving range, and a total range of 340 miles. EPA rates it at 110 MPGe in EV mode, and 44 city/40 highway/42 combined overall. We compare it to other plug-ins like the Chevy Volt and Toyota Prius Prime. And finally we have some more spy photos of the 2019 Ram 1500. It doesn't have a traditional crosshair grille, but it's got plenty of chrome and an attractive upright stance that's sure to tempt future truck buyers looking for some sophistication to go with their work gloves. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week to see all the automotive news that's fit to print. 2018 Volvo XC40 First Drive Review | The Masspirational crossover Mercedes-Benz G-Class gets the luxe, high-tech treatment 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid Review | It's what's on the inside that counts 2019 Ram 1500 shows chrome grille and more production parts Green Honda Mercedes-Benz RAM Volvo Technology Truck Crossover SUV Luxury Performance Sedan volvo xc40 sunday drive
