This Volvo runs & drives extremely well!  You would never guess the mileage by looking or driving this very nice automobile.  This Volvo was traded it at a new-car dealership in NW Ohio and I purchased the Volvo from them.  I have personally driven this vehicle for the last 100 miles and it is very nice!  The inline 5-cylinder turbo engine runs strong with plenty of power.  The automatic transmission shifts smooth with no issues at all.  This Volvo is loaded with all the options like power/heated leather seats, power windows and locks, cruise control, keyless entry, and so much more.  Zero accident history per autocheck!  Mechanically, this Volvo is in good condition.  Engine & Transmission are 100%.  I have not noticed any leaks on the ground where this Volvo has been sitting.  The brakes stop the car smooth and straight.  While driving the steering & suspension components appears to be in good shape - particular buyers may note a little suspension rattle when hitting bumps but still extremely smooth and nothing out of the ordinary for a car of this age/miles.  The 4 matching Michelin tires have TONS of tread remaining and the vehicle drives straight down the road. No vibrations at all when driving.  No driveline noise or vibrations at all.  Turbo spools up with plenty of power.  Overall, this vehicle drives extremely nicely for its age and mileage.  All the power options work like they should including the power seats, sunroof, mirrors, windows, etc.  The automatic climate control works and this Volvo blows air on all blower levels and wherever you want it to (vents, defroster, etc).  The AC is blowing cold, but for full disclosure when I acquired the vehicle it was warm and I recharged it -- it has held up for a week but there may be a small leak somewhere and the a/c compressor is a little noisy when engaged.  The Volvo is equipped with AM/FM/CD/CASSETTE - the radio powers up great and sounds very good.  The check engine light is on (code P0108 - MAP sensor high) but there is no noticeable performance issues.  There are no other dash warning lights illuminated except for the service light comes on for 90 seconds when the vehicle is started - this is a light that comes on at regular intervals just to remind you to service your vehicle (it does NOT indicate malfunction) and can be reset.  The dashboard informational display works and all settings read appropriately.  All of the gauges read properly and there are no abnormal readings. The engine runs smooth with no lack of power at all.   The keyless entry system appears to be working properly with the key fob.  Extremely nice running and driving vehicle!  Cosmetically -- this car looks in excellent shape. The exterior paint is in excellent condition.  There is no visible rust on the body.  All glass is in-tact and in good condition with the exception of a small crack below the sight line in the windshield (see pics).  The alloy wheels are in exceptionally good condition.   The interior is in very extremely nice condition with no rips or major discoloration.  OEM floor mats are included although in used condition.  Check out the pictures - they speak for themselves!  I have tried to capture both the positives and the flaws in those pictures.  There is a minor dent just in front of the passenger side rear wheel in the dog-leg, there is slight cracking on the interior wood grain below the shifter, and some of the leather inserts on the doors are no longer tight, (see pics). These are very minor imperfections that are consistent with the vehicle age.  Overall, this Volvo shows extremely nice and will be a vehicle that you can be proud of!

I have tried my best to represent this vehicle accurately and to the best of my abilities.  Earning and keeping a 100% positive feedback rating is very important to me!  I purchase most of my vehicles as trade-ins from new car dealerships as traded. I test drive each vehicle on the expressway and around town for at least 20 miles, often over 100 miles, and use that experience to represent the vehicle to you on eBay.  Please remember that you are buying a used vehicle and that a certain amount of wear/use/flaws are to be expected on any used vehicle -- including this one.  You are welcome and encouraged to come check out this vehicle for yourself and take it for a test drive before the auction ends.  I have included over 50 pictures and a YouTube video - please check out them out.   Feel free to email/call me (Michael) at 734-717-3653 with specific questions and I will do my best to answer them.

China's Geely to add $4.6 billion battery plant in EV push

Mon, Mar 15 2021

BEIJING — Geely said on Monday it would build an electric vehicle battery factory with a planned annual manufacturing capacity of 42 gigawatt hours (GWh) in China's eastern city of Ganzhou, as it expands its EV lineup in the world's biggest car market. For comparison, the Tesla-Panasonic Gigafactory in Nevada announced an expansion last fall to just under 40 gigawatt hours. The total investment in the project by Geely's technology arm will be 30 billion yuan ($4.6 billion), according to a separate statement from the local government. Geely's technology group has previously invested in Ganzhou-based EV battery maker Farasis. The planned factory comes after Geely announced a flurry of tie-ups in January aimed at turning the automaker into a leading EV contract manufacturer and engineering service provider, as it fights the incursion of EV leader Tesla. Geely, which owns Volvo Cars and a 9.7% stake in Daimler AG, is competing with Great Wall and Nio, among others. China's government has heavily promoted new energy vehicles (NEVs) — such as battery-powered, plug-in petrol-electric hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell cars — in response to chronic air pollution, spurring interest from technology companies and investors alike. China forecasts NEVs will make up 20% of its annual auto sales by 2025 from around 5% in 2020.   Green Plants/Manufacturing Volvo Electric Geely

Volvo considering offering V60 wagon in the US

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

For the 2014 model year, the Volvo product line is shrinking to just five models in the United States: the S60, S80, XC60, XC70 and XC90. This comes following the death of the C30 hatchback and C70 convertible, which are being discontinued after the 2013 model year. The S40 sedan and V50 wagon were axed two years ago, as was the larger V70.
That may not be the case, however. According to Automotive News, Volvo is rethinking its decision to not sell the V60 wagon, pictured, in the United States. The automaker had originally decided to not offer the V60 in our market due to declining American wagon sales. A decision is expected to be made sometime in the next quarter, and if approved, sales of the V60 could begin in the US within the next year.
At the Geneva Motor Show last week, Volvo showed off refreshed versions of nearly every vehicle in its lineup. In the US, these will be the only changes coming to the Volvo brand over the next two years. The next big product launch in the States will be the all-new XC90 crossover, developed under new parent company Geely. The range-topping SUV will ride on the company's new flexible SPA platform, which will also underpin the next-generation versions of the S60, S80 and XC60.

Uber releases fleet of self-driving vehicles to select few in Pittsburgh

Wed, Sep 14 2016

Starting today, a select group of Uber users in Pittsburgh, PA will have the ability to request a self-driving vehicle. If a self-driving vehicle is in the area, Uber will send it, as well as a safety driver, to drive loyal customers to their destination. The announcement to give customers the opportunity to get a ride in one of Uber's self-driving vehicles comes roughly a year and a half after the company set up its Advanced Technologies Center in the city. On Tuesday, the company offered a few members of the press the opportunity to ride in one of the company's self-driving cars. The fleet, despite Uber's collaboration with Volvo, was comprised of 14 Ford Fusions equipped with a host of self-driving technology, reports TechCrunch. Uber is giving away free rides as a way to obtain real-world testing, which is crucial for self-driving technology. Recently, nuTonomoy beat Uber to the punch by launching the world's first autonomous taxis in Singapore. While the choice to release its self-driving cars in Pittsburgh mainly comes down to the fact that its ATC is located there, the city faces four seasons and its difficult streets that are comprised of bridges, railroad lines, and an irregular grid layout will prove to be a challenge for the autonomous cars. Since the self-driving vehicles are still being tested, the cars will come with two full-time Uber employees. One employee will loosely grasp the car's steering wheel, ready to take over if something goes awry, while the other will monitor the computer's software. As TechCrunch points out, Uber's autonomous vehicles drove in a similar manner to a regular driver. It obeyed traffic laws, mimicked a driver by coming to stops gently and at other times abruptly, as well as driving slightly into another lane to dodge a poorly-parked vehicle, reports TechCrunch. There's no word on whether regular Uber customers will get a ride in one of the company's Fusions or one of the Volvo's that its working on. Automakers and companies alike have been in a race to put autonomous vehicles on the road. Tesla recently updated its Autopilot system, Apple laid off dozens of employees to reboot its self-driving car project, and Google is working giving its autonomous vehicle the ability to detect emergency vehicles. While this is a large step for Uber, vehicles with autonomous capabilities still have a long way to go.
