The sad day has come when I have to let go of this reliable beauty.  I have too many cars in my driveway and just bought another and this one must go.
 
This car has had 3 owners before me.  The first two of these was between 1997-2003.  When the second owner sold the car it had only about 55k miles.  The third owner had a minor accident with the vehicle in August 2007 and sold it to a car dealership which is where I purchased it. 
 
The dealer Steven let us know the previous owner was very aggressive about performing preventative maintenance that he didn't need to fix anything.  Since then the car has only needed a tune-up, new alternator, and motor mounts and routine maintenance.  I have put mostly highway miles on the car, I use it mostly on the weekend for my out of town trips!  The car has been very reliable and I wouldn't hesitate to take it on a cross country trip.
 
Some of the repairs include:
 
04/09- complete tune-up, spark plugs
07/09- new front brakes/rotors
05/10- new motor mounts/brakes
12/11- new tires
6/12- new battery
5/13-new alternator (pep boys)
 
The car has some cosmetic flaws as you may expect from a car from 1997.  There is a medium size dent from the prior owner's car accident.  The car has very little rust.  The car has NO damage from Hurricane Sandy, it is located a few blocks from Hofstra University which is miles from the water and wasn't impacted by the storm.  The interior has normal wear and tear, with the exception of the stain on the rear drivers side seat.  The vehicle has a CD player.  The AC works.  The sunroof works.  The rear wiper works (which is rare based on the age of the vehicle).  No damage to the windshield.  The speedometer is not working.
 
Those are all the details of the few issues that I know of.  The vehicle has been good to me, incredibly reliable and easy to take care of.  I'm sad to see this one go and I hope to pass it along to someone who will enjoy it as much as I did.  The car also includes a bike rack that has rarely been used.
 
$500 will be due via pay pal within 24 hours of the auction's close.  Once I have full payment I will express mail the title so that you can make arrangements with your State motor vehicle department for temporary registration, as the car does not have a current registration.  I will store the car for no charge for 10 days after the auction closes.  If we don't make other arrangements after that time there will be a storage charge of $20 per day.  I have too many cars in my driveway and got a new one.  I really don't have the room to store my new car as it is now.

Used Volvo V70 wagon for $20 million includes New York 'New York' vanity plate

Mon, Mar 22 2021

Billed as the world's most expensive Volvo wagon, a dark blue New York-based V70 is currently for sale for $20 million (and probably will be for some time). It's not the car that makes the sale special, though. It's the New York state vanity plate that reads "NEW YORK." Indeed, the ad lists a Volvo but it doesn't even mention the year, mileage or model, and in photos it's still wearing a fresh sheen of road salt. Custom plates are big business in some parts of the world. It also should be noted that the plates are of a recent design and not of the original 1970 issue. New York allows you to update vanity plates to new designs for a small fee. According to the listing on Du Pont Registry, the current owner of the plate suggested that their father buy the plate in the 1970s. This was when New York first began offering personalized plates. Surprisingly, it had not yet been claimed, allowing the family to ride around with the words "New York, New York" plastered on their government-issued vehicle identification for four decades. While the ad claims that the plate, replicas of which are sold in souvenir shops all over the Big Apple, is transferable to any vehicle, we have our doubts. Best we can tell, New York license plates don't stay with the car. The Empire State requires you to surrender your plates when you sell your car, unless you're planning on transferring them to a new car. However, the transfer can only be done, according to the New York DMV, if the names on both registrations are the same. You can't even transfer the plate to your spouse. The same rules apply for personalized plates. If you sell a vanity plated car without an immediate replacement, you can store the personalized plate with the New York DMV and then reinstate them later, but nowhere does it say the plate can be transferred. In fact, the DMV says "The new owner must apply for a new vehicle registration, vehicle plates and a title certificate. The new owner does not use the vehicle plates or the registration items of the previous owner." As our own Joe Lorio put it, "Whoever buys that Volvo might end up with just a very expensive used Volvo wagon."

Volvo studying test of electric roads in Sweden

Tue, 27 May 2014

Volvo already announced the results of a study of wireless charging using a stationary C30, and now it's embarking on a more ambitious study of wireless charging involving moving city buses. Next year, in conjunction with the Swedish Transport Association, Volvo will build a section of electric road up to 500 meters long that would use inductive charging to refill the batteries while the bus drives over it.
Right now, the company's Hyper Bus diesel hybrid has to stop to plug in and charge at the end of its route. The company is looking for a way to keep buses in service while being able to run on electric power for greater lengths of time. The new line used for the study will be called ElectriCity, and will come online in central Gothenburg sometime in 2015. There's a press release below with more information.

2nd annual Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards revealed

Tue, Jan 13 2015

There was some absolutely fantastic auto advertising in 2014, ranging from funny to inspiring. Marking the best of it from the past year, the Second Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards were announced during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (full disclosure: Autoblog was among the award's sponsors, and Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty was a voter). Unlike previously, there were no brands with dominance over the list this time. Presented by The One Club, the awards have an international scope and hand out honors in a variety of categories. In the Broadcast TV group, there were three winners this year. First, there was The Scripted Life from Audi for the Q3 about breaking out of life's monotony. Also, Dad's Sixth Sense from Hyundai marketed the safety features in the Genesis. Finally, Unbreakable Drivers showed manly men being tested for the Toyota Hilux in Australia. The Online Video prize went to the fantastic The Epic Split spot from Volvo Trucks starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The best Interactive ad was the Honda video titled The Other Side for the Civic Type R, and the Experiential Advertising nod was for the Volkswagen Eyes on the Road clip that showed the dangers of texting and driving to a theater full of moviegoers in Hong Kong. Finally, the Public Choice Award went to the BMW commercial called Hello Future using the words of sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke for the i8. In the award not for videos, Jeep won the Print/Outdoor category for its Upside Down campaign. Check the ads out below, which show different animals when upside down. Also, look farther down for all of the winning videos and read their full announcements.
