Well my wife says it's time to "upgrade" to a minivan so the wagon has to go.  We bought this wagon back in 2011 from a Volvo salesman- it was his personal car.  He had all of the work done at the dealership and we have had it done there or at an independent shop that specializes in Volvos.  The car looks great and is very fast for a wagon;  you can really feel the turbocharger kick in.  The title is clear and the car is ready to drive anywhere.  Here is what you are getting:

The Good:
Great looking paint!  While there are some small scratches here and there (see photos) I have kept the paint in great condition.  I have only used Zaino products on it which has given the car a very deep gloss/shine.  No rust at all on this vehicle!

This car has awesome power for a wagon.  The turbo charger is quite nice.

Large 17" factory option wheels- really shine up nice- see photos  

Great tires: I put Bridgestone Potenza tires on it.  They are big, low profile, and fat = great traction.  No issues in the snow either as long as you put the car in the "slick pavement" setting.  Yes the car has a special setting for rain/snow. 

Leather Seats: The front ones are heated and they adjust like you would not believe.  The drivers side can memorize two set positions so multiple drivers can adjust with the push of a button.

Fold Down Third Row Seat- rear facing

Deep Tint: This is from the factory and looks great.

WeatherTech Floor Liner for the rear hatch back area-  Laser cut and made in the USA

All Synthetic fluids used in the car and K&N oil filters are used.

New Parts since I've owned it:

K&N Air Filter
Hitch
Volvo Brand Cross Bars- not pictured but they are included so you can mount bikes, kayaks, ski equipment, etc to the top of the car.
Radiator
New Tires in Oct 2012- Bridgestone Potenza with Nitrogen Fill
New Alarm System
Back in March, the oil pump went out on the expressway and the engine threw a rod, so it was replaced with a used one with about 85,000 miles on it.  When this was done, all lines were replaced and fluids were flushed.
New Throttle Body
Water pump
Timing Belt
Motor Mounts
Brakes
Turbo Rebuilt
Vapor Box and all lines involved
HID Headlight 
CEM Unit
New Wiper Blades all Around: Front, Rear, and Headlight- yes it has wipers for the headlights!

Issues with the Car:
- My daughter decided to use the CD player as a piggy bank.  I've talked to an installer and they said this is common (they see 1-2 of that issue a week lol) and usually the unit just needs to be removed and the coins shook out.  I've priced them on ebay and they usually run about $40 dollars so worst case scenario is getting one on here.

-About once a week one of the headlights will go out, you just toggle the switch and it comes back on.  This has been happening since I bought it and I never had it looked into.

- Once a year it has had a hard time starting and then the check engine light comes on.  I have taken it both to the dealer one year and an independent shop the next and each time they said it was just a dirty wiring harness.  Once they cleaned it everything was fine.  

- I only have one key and the "switch blade" feature doesn't work on it. 

- The driver's side rear seat has a crease in it from having a baby car seat latched in it for so long.  It has been getting better over time with it out, but I imagine that will always be in there to some degree.  See photo

- The rear bumper cover is faded and scratched.  I have tried all sorts of products to help it but they have not helped much.  See photo

- The hatch area does have some dog hair in it.  I took a lint roller to it and that helped alot but it will probably take a couple of more applications to get it all out.  It's short, white dalmatian hairs... :)

Great looking car and I'm selling it below blue book value.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask, but do so before you buy the car!

Car will also come with:
Volvo Cross Bars
Extra K&N Oil Filter
Light Bulb Set- All light bulbs for the back of the car- I ordered these when they were on sale and they were never needed.

All sales are final 
Car must be picked up- I will not ship.
Sold As Is
I have done my best to describe the car.  Please ask questions.
I will probably put about 10 more miles on it before it is sold as I'm going to take it for one last wash before it goes.

Volvo's electric XC90 SUV to include lidar as standard equipment next year

Thu, Jun 24 2021

DETROIT — Volvo Cars plans to make lidar sensors standard equipment in a new generation of its XC90 SUV next year as part of a strategy to deploy more advanced safety and automated driving technology that relies on precise images of the world around the vehicle. The decision by Volvo Cars to fold lidar sensors into the base price of its vehicle is a bet that customers will pay for the additional capability. It has been called a "watershed moment" by some in the industry. The Swedish brand, owned by China's Geely group, is taking a sharply different road from rival Tesla Inc, which has shunned lidar and radar and is focusing on just cameras and software for its automated driving systems. Self-driving car sensor startup Luminar Technologies Inc will supply Volvo Cars with its Iris lidar and Sentinel software in combination with software from Volvo in the electric XC90 SUV that will be built in South Carolina and go on sale in 2022, the companies said. The new technologies are designed to address traffic situations that often result in severe injuries and fatalities. Over time, the technology will become more capable and will increasingly intervene to prevent collisions, the companies said. "By having this hardware as standard, we can continuously improve safety features over the air and introduce advanced autonomous drive systems," Volvo Cars Chief Executive Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. Lidar sensors, which use laser light pulses to render precise images of the environment around the car, are seen as essential by many automakers to enable obstacle detection and avoidance in advanced driving assistance systems and eventually in fully automated vehicles. Complete sensor set on on electric successor to XC90 Until now, lidar has been too costly for automakers to implement as anything other than an option that costs extra. Luminar CEO Austin Russell said the pricing for its lidar is on the order of $1,000 per unit. Volvo Cars' chief technology officer, Henrik Green, said cost is not the focus for the Swedish auto brand. While the price of the technology will come down over time as volumes grow, the rollout will accelerate use of automated services that the company can charge for. Green said subsequent vehicles will add the lidar package as standard, and that this continues Volvo Cars' history of being first to standardize many safety features, including three-point seat belts and side-impact airbags.

Volvo confirms V60 Sportswagon engine lineup for US

Fri, 13 Sep 2013


In addition to revamping its entire 2014 lineup, Volvo has already promised us that we'll be getting the V60 wagon early next year, but now the Swedish automaker has confirmed that sexy wagon will go on sale in January. If that's not good enough for you diehard station wagon models, there's even better news: An available R-Design model will be the "fastest and most powerful wagon in Volvo history."
The V60 R-Design will have a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine under the hood producing 325 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Other engines available in the wagon will include the company's well-regarded turbo inline-five along with a new turbo inline-four wearing the Drive-E name. Volvo says Drive-E can "offer the opportunity" to add electrification, but there's no word as to whether or not the US will receive a V60 plug-in model. Also not yet released are fuel economy, vehicle specs and pricing. More information about the V60 and its powertrains are available in the official press release posted below.

12 new cars that will never go out of style

Tue, Nov 23 2021

Some cars never go out of style. It’s rare, but it happens. They get old. They get depreciated. But they never stop looking cool.  Some might call them modern or instant classics. Within a few years theyÂ’re no longer the latest and greatest, no longer the flavor of the month, but they remain special. Eternally special. Timeless.  These cars arenÂ’t necessarily going to be worth a fortune someday. However, some may not depreciate as rapidly or as far as other models. But thatÂ’s not what weÂ’re talking about here. These are the cars that enthusiasts will always find desirable from the curbside. TheyÂ’re the cars you end up shopping on eBay late at night 10 years later because you canÂ’t get them out of your head. TheyÂ’re the cars that will forever excite you when you spot a clean one in traffic or in a parking lot.  There are plenty of recent examples over the past couple of decades that could count as instant design classics. But then we got to thinking, what 2021 models will be forever cool to stare at? Which new cars and trucks on sale today will we be shopping on eBay late at night in the 2030s? We kept supercars and other ultra-expensive cars off the list to keep things within the realm of attainability, and ended up with 12 total cars. Lexus LC WeÂ’re not applying a numerical ranking to any of the cars on this list, but if we were, the Lexus LC would be No. 1. There isnÂ’t another car design out there that can stir our emotions the way an LC can when itÂ’s just standing still. This car is a concept design come true in the most beautiful of ways, and itÂ’s a shoo-in winner for Concours events decades into the future. All of this heaping praise, and we havenÂ’t even gotten to the LC 500Â’s intoxicating 5.0-liter V8. It doesnÂ’t win drag races. It wonÂ’t be the fastest around the track against any similarly-priced competition. But none of that matters. ItÂ’s quite possibly the best car you can buy new, and that says it all when it comes to the LC. Chevrolet Corvette It might not be the stunner that the Lexus LC is, but the new C8 Corvette is and will always be a special vehicle. ItÂ’s the first mid-engine Corvette, which instantly cements it into an automotive hall of fame section of sorts. All of the performance stats and specs are there to back up its supercar-like looks, and it remains the best performance bargain on sale today.
