Listing our 2008 Volvo C30 coupe. We're the third owners and have had the car for approximately two years now. The car was original a Volvo corporate lease vehicle for one of their executives. Following that it was purchased by a pharmaceutical sales rep who put the majority of the mileage on the car. We purchased the vehicle with just over 90k miles on it and it has been a reliable daily driver ever since. Since we've purchased we've had the following service/parts replaced: -New manual transmission - came out of a car with 26k miles on it (with receipt). Was installed by the local Volvo dealer along with a new clutch. -New passenger side wheel bearing -Brand new tires - less than 3k miles on them -Two new wheels - noticed a small shimmy so we purchased OEM replacements from Volvo -New floor mats/rear trunk mat/rear trunk cover - all from Volvo -New R design pedals - to replace worn original rubber pieces -A/C recharged - blows cold -Passenger tail light replaced - original had a deep scratch on it -Paintless dent removal - to remove door dings. This was done about 18 months ago and despite our best efforts there are two door dings currently. Still very good for the mileage/year -Installed rear bumper protector - helps prevent scratches while loading/unloading trunk -New center armrest - original had small tear -All fluids (oil/coolant) replaced Given the age and mileage there are a few negatives. They are as follow: -Small crack in front grille - hard to see but wanted to point it out -Few scratches/dings in paint - not bad but the car has over 100k miles on it so to be expected -Two wheels have curb rash -Interior seat wear - driver seat has minor bolster wear and small tear in bottom seat cover. Unfortunately this is common with the T-tec fabric Other than that I can't think of anything significant to add. The car runs/drives just fine. We use it to commute to work and for the occasional road trip where it performs flawlessly.

2023 Volvos get mild-hybrid engines, XC40 and S60 see styling tweaks

Wed, May 4 2022

For 2023, Volvo's entire lineup will now feature both mild-hybrid assist engines and Google Android-based infotainment. Additionally, a couple of models are getting some styling updates. As for powertrains, the XC90, XC40 and V60 Cross Country are finally getting base engines with Volvo's 48-volt hybrid assist. This means that every Volvo on sale will have some level of electrification as standard, and of course plug-in hybrid and full-electric versions of some of its models continue to be offered. The Google Android-based infotainment system's availability is also expanding to the gas-powered XC40 models as well as the S60 and V60 models. As with electrification, this update means every Volvo has the same kind of infotainment. The perks of the new infotainment system include the ability to run apps and features such as Google Maps and Voice Assistant natively in the infotainment system, instead of needing to use a phone. It also enables over-the-air updates so that older models can still have the latest functions. Rounding out the updates are some styling changes for certain models. The S60 and V60 models get new grilles and rear bumper inserts. The XC40 features new headlights, front bumpers and grilles. New colors and wheels are on offer for all models, and Volvo has dropped trim level designations for all cars. The updated Volvo models are going into production with availability this summer. Pricing has not been announced yet. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Leno shows off his current project cars

Mon, Aug 10 2015

When your car collection grows to the enormous size of Jay Leno's, adding the usual muscle cars or European exotics loses the allure. It becomes necessary to start taking the things in weird directions. Leno is proving just that with his latest tour of many of the ongoing projects currently happening in the garage. With everything from Harley-Davidson generators to '50s hot rods on display just in this short video, there's something any fan can love. The place is like an automotive wonderland. For most people any one of these projects would be an absolute dream. For example, Leno has a copy of a one-off Mercedes-Benz racecar transporter that is nearly ready to drive. Another project hasn't even started yet but already seriously piqued our interest. Leno obtained a very ratty 1966 Volvo 122S wagon, but rather than just a restoration he's has a plan to get a V8 with a flat-plane crank from Volvo performance specialists Polestar. Another project on the way should provide a significant upgrade in performance, while still being quite green. Leno's team has already rebuilt the frame and wooden body from a 1914 Detroit Electric, and with that work done they've started dreaming of a modern drivetrain for it. One proposed candidate for the swap has been to install motor from a Nissan Leaf and a bank of lithium-ion batteries.

First production Volvo P1800 stolen

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Want further proof that car thieves are the scum of the Earth? Some crooks in Sweden made off with a prized Volvo - the very first production P1800. The P1800, a two-door coupe, is a classic that's been growing in popularity over the years, thanks in no small part to its gorgeous sheetmetal.
This particular example, wearing chassis number two, wears red paint with a white interior. It was swiped from a locked storage facility in Stockholm, according to Hemmings, between August 21 and 22. The P1800 was owned by Mats Eriksson, vice president of the Swedish P1800 Club, who had given it a thorough restoration. Features to look out for on this particular car include the unique wheel covers shown in the gallery, and two different registration plates - C28000 and ACZ 780.
Larmtjänst AB, a non-profit that fights vehicle crimes in Sweden, is accepting any and all information pertaining from the theft. If you, or anyone you know, was in Stockholm on the night of the days of the theft or has seen a red P1800 in the Scandinavian region, head over to the Larmtjänst AB website to submit a tip.
