Hi Everyone

Today I am selling my very reliable 1997 Volvo 850 T-5 (Turbo) wagon. This car is awesome. Before I go any further do some research on Google about this vehicle. You'll find that over all the owners of this type of vehicle, both make and model/year, are very proud and feel very safe and comfortable behind the wheel of this well built car. Many of them being original owners and are stilling driving it well above the 175,000 and even 250,000 with no major problems and more regular maintenance. In fact when Volvo first launched this model they actual gave a insurance policy to the original owner of the vehicle in the amount of 250,000 dollars to cover any accident while driving this vehicle, that how much faith Volvo had as a company that this vehicle would keep the family

I plan on down sizing to a less admirable vehicle to drive to work and around town because I want to pay off some debt. This vehicle  has  87,000 original miles. If you split that up between years that comes out to less that 5,000 miles a year. So this car has had very little strain put on it through out the years. Below are a list of specs on the particular make/model.

Paint 
-Color is a dark blue green
-Over paint is in good condition w/ one noticable scratch (see below in pictures and video)

Braking and Traction
-ABS (4-Wheel) 

Comfort and Convenience
-Air Conditioning 
-Power Windows 
-Power Door Locks 
-Cruise Control 

-Child Saftey Lock for rear Windows

Steering (Just had it aligned yesterday 1/28/2013)
-Power Steering 
-Telescoping Wheel 

Entertainment and Instrumentation
-AM/FM Stereo 
-Cassette 
-CD (Single Disc) 
-CD (Multi Disc) (has one in the truck but it has not worked for awhile, may be a easy fix though, the single one of dash works perfectly)
-Premium Sound System

Safety and Security
-Dual Air Bags 
-F&R Side Air Bags 
-Automatic Alarm Activated System

Seats
-Dual Power Seats in Front
-Leather Interior
-RARE Third Row Seat (facing out back window)

Roof and Glass
-Powered Sun Roof (absolutely no leaks)

Wheels and Tires
Alloy Wheels 
Tires (90 percent tread still left, only 4-5 months old on all 4 wheels)

This car runs super well and the AC is ice cold. It is very very comfortable to drive and the seats are very spacious. Leather is in great-good condition with minimal cracks and NO Tears. The only thing I can say about this Beauty is that the center back brake light on the glass window went out and needs to be changed and also the right front head light (not high beam) needs to be changed.  BOth of these should coast in the ball park of 5-15 dollars. Also there is a scratch, as noted in the pictures where my wife scraped our mail box, this could also be buffered possibly. Please llok at the pictures and watch the videos linked below.

On Kelly Blue book website the care is listed as very good instead of excellent because of the above issue I just addressed. Below are the prices of each category for each condition this vehicle both make and model/year can be rated.

Excellent 
$6,075

Very Good (THIS IS THE CONDITION ON MY VEHICLE)
$5,800

Good 
$5,675

Fair 
$5,025

They don't make them like this anymore and one really cool feature of this vehicle is the backwards facing rear seats. If anyone reading this is older the maybe 28 years old you may remember these cool seats as children. It is a seat for one or two children that folds up from the floor in back and faces looking out the back window. It is very easy to access and put up and down. 

The Best Aspect of this vehicle of all IS THAT IT HAS ONLY 87,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT< WHICH IS VERY RARE. Please feel free to email me any questions. Below you can see the pictures and if you would like to stop by and see/test driver with me please feel free to do so by arranging a appointment

I am listing this as a NO RESERVE auction but I also have it listed locally and reserve the full right to end this auction to due this 1997 Volvo 850 t-5 with VIN number yv1lw5727v2292574 selling locally. Also I will be canceling the insurance on this vehicle upon selling it, so the buyer must provide their own insurance upon payment and picking it up.  This is exactly what the law requires when buying a car form a dealership before you can drive the vehicle off the lot.  It simple takes a phone call to your insurance provider and my be done before hand if you wish by providing the vin number.

Polestar says goodbye to Volvo C30 in video tribute

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

The Volvo C30 was put to its eternal bed a few months ago, but the tuners at Polestar have a little more eulogizing to do. The Swedish house of speed that has raced and reworked the little hatch since its introduction in 2006 wants the world to know what they've been through together, so it has encapsulated seven years of around-the-world action into three minutes and 28 seconds of track footage and champagne.
We're still waiting on word of a replacement for the funny little hatch, and while we lament what could have been, the video below proves that the C30 provided plenty of thrills for those outside of the US. And as you can read in our recent review of the Polestar-enhanced road-going C30, it provided a decent amount of fun for those of us in the States, as well.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
