For sale: 2001 Volvo S80 Factory Limousine


4 doors, seats 2 in driver cockpit, has 2 rows of seats which face each other in the back - can seat up to 6 in the rear. There's a dual clear glass and black-out partition between the driver and the rear.

This is an extremely rare vehicle.  Factory built in Sweden and imported to the United States by the Swedish Consulate.  There are only 2 of these in the U.S. and around 18 in the World. The retail price of the S80 limo is approximately $140,000 USD.

From Wikipedia:
"The current official car of the King of Sweden is a stretched Volvo S80, escorted by the Swedish Security Service in BMW X5, BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class models. For official occasions like state visits there is an Daimler DS420. There are also a number of different cars in the Royal Mews, which are used on special occasions."

This car has a normal left-side steering wheel and is EPA certified for sale in all 50-states.  The limousine is privately owned and used for pleasure in Los Angeles, CA.

---

Mechanically the limousine is in excellent condition, no known problems or defects.  The air conditioner is ice-cold.  It's been used on every occasion with extreme confidence of its mechanical fitness. 

Overall external condition of the limousine is fair.  Here is the list of known external defects:
1) 6-8" area of paint bubbling on the right side of the top
2) Tinted windows have various scratches and the back window tinting shows peeling cracks
3) Various plastic pieces in cockpit (frame around the drive light switch) are either missing or not correctly attached.
4) Interior passenger arm-rest on right side is loose and plastic inserts are broken.
5) Left side passenger window (two-seats facing the rear) is off-track and does not slide down correctly.
6) Front right bumper was strained resulting in slight denting under the hood and the wheel cowl plastic is separated.  This is the biggest known problem, but existed when the limo was acquired and has been duct taped shut, but needs attention.
7) Externally the car has various missing or broken reflectors, missing plastic accent plastic on edge.
8) The left and right door panels have scraped paint and or areas that are scratched and dented where the limo was incorrectly navigated around tight corners.
9) There are many small areas with paint chips, cracks, or other blemishes that warrant inspection or repair.
10) The front headlights have some interior fogging on one or both sides.

The above repairs and paint condition were quoted approximately $1800 to address.  If you wanted to be extremely picky/thorough and fix every last minor problem so the car is absolutely flawless, you would probably want to budget around $3000.

Since it was used for pleasure, mostly in the evening, it was never pursued to fix all the blemishes and external defects.  The limo's hosted celebrity friends, business associates, and guests without any real embarrassment of the aforementioned problems.

Volvo demos autonomous self-parking car concept

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

A number of companies are developing autonomous vehicle technology - Google and Audi come to mind - but Volvo is applying its work in the area to a particular usage case: parking. The Swedish automaker has the technology up and running in a concept vehicle, which it says can be dropped off at the curb by its owner and left to its own devices to enter and navigate a car park, then find and park in an available parking spot. Volvo says the process can even be reversed when the owner is ready to go, with the car leaving the car park on its own to meet its key-holder again at the curb.
The vehicle first interacts with Vehicle 2 Infrastructure technology, which places transmitters in the road itself to inform the car (and driver) if the self-parking service is available. The driver then hops out, activates the Self Parking function on his or her smartphone and then leaves the car to do its work. The car uses sensors, all seemingly hidden from view (an advancement of its own in this field), to autonomously navigate the car park, which includes interacting and adjusting to other cars, people and objects.
The technology used here builds off of Volvo's other work in autonomous vehicle research, namely the Safe Road Trains for the Environment (SARTRE) project in which the company managed to create a train of four cars autonomously following a lead truck at speeds up 56 miles per hour. Volvo says the first application of its autonomous research in a production vehicle will happen at the end of 2014 with some level of autonomous steering available in the next-generation XC90. See the system in action by watching the video below.

Volvo details upcoming XC90's new scalable platform

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

In two weeks' time, we'll be boarding a flight for Stockholm for the live reveal of the new Volvo XC90. But before we do, Volvo has revealed another round of salient details regarding not only its new crossover, but a whole range of new vehicles to share its architecture.
That platform is called Scalable Product Architecture, and it follows the latest industry trend towards modular platforms. The product of four years' development, the new platform uses high-strength boron steel to optimize weight and rigidity. The scalable architecture, set to underpin the next-generation S60, V60, XC60, S80 and anything larger, offers designers more flexibility in terms of proportions. It can be adapted to a wide range of vehicles of different shapes and sizes, designed from the get-go to incorporate a range of powertrains (including the XC90's new twin-charged hybrid system) and all the latest safety technologies you'd expect from a Volvo.
The XC90, Volvo has revealed, will also offer increased interior flexibility, with movable second and third rows to optimize cargo space and legroom as needed. That third row is designed to accommodate children (or small adults) up to five-foot-seven. Meanwhile the image inset above gives us our first glimpse at the new XC90's styling, with T-shaped running lights inspired by Thor's hammer.
