98 Volvo work/delivery/commuter wagon, very reliable and very safe. My nanny bought this last year and I loaned her the money and kept the title in my name. She drove my kids from LA to LV on a regular basis and not once was there any issue. She has since paid it off and has asked me to sell it for her. My knowledge of this car is relatively limited. I drove it to the car wash, and then on the highway for 20-30 miles to run some errands. Solid and powerful engine, smooth transmission, suspension is stiff and tight, cabin is quiet. Surprisingly quick. No pulling or pulsating or strange noises.

Please keep in mind that it is 16 years old and is being sold with no warranty and all sales are final. As with any used car, please expect that it will need normal maintenance/repairs and will have dings, scratches and other cosmetic blemishes consistent with it's age. We are not dealers or mechanics and below is everything we know about the car. Pre-purchase inspections are cheap, easy and always recommended.

Last Year:

-New front suspension - brakes, rotors, bushings, struts, and some other wear and tear items.
-4 New matching tires last year, 85% tread remaining
-New timing belt and upper timing gear
-New Volvo spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor

-New fluids
-21.5 MPG City, 26 MPG Highway
-No smoking or overheating

-AC will need service and/or repairs to be cold again. Was not cold when she bought it. Mechanic charged it and it was cold for a couple of months, but he said there was a small leak. Sure enough, it's not cold anymore.

-Right rear window doesn't go down

-I bumped into the gas door while it was open and knocked it off. Have the door in perfect condition, but the plastic clips were brittle from age and broke. It needs the 4 clips snapped back in (no tools required) to fit back onto the quarter panel.

Good power seats, sunroof, power locks, factory 3500 lbs tow hitch with wiring (hidden in boot), spare tire and tools, tinted windows, all lights (in and out) working, horn works, cruise control works, CD cassette deck works, heater is amazing, seat heaters hot, wipers work front and rear, power mirrors work, seat belts work, rear cargo/pet divider (not photographed) is in perfect condition.

Good $4,731

Volvo's latest export from Sweden: paid parental leave

Tue, Mar 30 2021

STOCKHOLM — Volvo Cars will offer all its employees worldwide 24 weeks paid parental leave in a bid to support female executives and equal parenting. The carmaker, which is based in Sweden but owned by China's Geely Holding, has over 40,000 employees. From next month, all staff who have worked in Volvo plants and offices for at least a year will be entitled to the leave each time they have a child and will receive 80% of their base pay during the period, the company said on Tuesday. Sweden is one of few countries that already offers leave by law for either parent. "Some countries do not offer any paid leave to new parents, or exclude certain groups of parents Â– the latter is particularly true for fathers," the company, which previously did not have a global policy but adapted to local regulations, said in a statement. Around a third of Volvo's senior managers are currently female. The company aims to raise that share to 50%, a spokeswoman said, adding that Volvo's new policy will improve conditions for staff on parental leave not least in China and the United States. "When parents are supported to balance the demands of work and family, it helps to close the gender gap and allows everyone to excel in their careers," said Volvo Cars CEO Hakan Samuelsson. The global policy applies to either parent and the leave can be taken anytime within the first three years of parenthood. In Sweden, new parents are in general entitled by law to around a year of parental leave on up to 80% pay. Â

This is Volvo's awesome S60 V8 Supercar entry [w/video]

Sat, 15 Feb 2014

Australian auto news has been dire for the last several months with all three automakers that build there announcing they would stop production within the next three years. But Volvo is providing a shot of excitement with the unveiling of its new S60 racecar for the upcoming season of the Australian V8 Supercar series.
The Volvo S60 racecar will use a 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8 based on Volvo's B8444S production engine that will be tuned to produce roughly 650 horsepower on E85 ethanol. Power will get to the ground via a six-speed sequential transmission, and it will be able to reach 62 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 185. All cars in the series use common parts for the chassis, transaxle, and rear suspension.
Volvo's Polestar performance arm will campaign two of the S60 racers this season. While Volvo might seem like an odd inclusion into Australian racing, it actually has quite a successful history. It won the 1986 Australian Touring Car Championship in a 240 and won the Bathhurst 1000 race in 1998 in an S40. Polestar is not new to racing either, having been racing Volvos around the world since 1996.
