Thanks for looking at my add. I am moving overseas for work in few weeks and therefore selling my Volvo that I have owned for 5 years.

Bought it at mileage 36k when I moved to the US (at Joe Perillo dealership in Chicago), the car now has ~93k miles on it and still runs great. There were no animals in the car or smokers for the time I have owned it.

The car was in no accidents during the whole history, although I did back up into someone at like 2 mph (black car parked diagonally behind me at kiss&fly zone at airport in the dark, I did not see it). Nevertheless, an accident that I believe is shown in the car's history. There was no damage on my car and about $400 repair on the other car (I hit his drivers' door with my rear right bumper). Only repair I had to do about 3 years ago was leaking radiator: coolant was getting mixed with engine oil (oil getting into coolant). This caused thermostat rubber to corrode, therefore the system kept cooling so engine wouldn't reach operating temperature. Had this repaired for about $1800 (full service records are in my car) and since then the car had been running without any problems. No other repairs except regular maintenance and fluid changes. Had this car checked in my shop a month ago and it's all OK - no leaks, no problems with fluids, brakes are at 70% of their life (even though brakes vibrate a bit while braking..the car was sitting for 2 weeks and when I picked up it this started, just few weeks ago), tires are at 20% of their life so will need changing eventually. If there is demand I can have them changed for ~$400 (full price is ~$750) because I have thread warranty and the tires were wearing faster than guaranteed. This would be paid extra on top of the price of the car but it can save you few hundred bucks if you decide to change tires right away (the warranty is only good for me - expires with ownership change).

As far as the interior and exterior goes, it's looking VERY good, I have been pretty much the only person using it >>> only the driver's seat had been used. Car would be great for a family - with 3 rows of seats can fit up to 7 people (even though 3rd row is narrow). Has tinned 2nd&3rd row/trunk seats, sunroof, electric seats (only front row), easy to fit 2 bikes in the trunk (taking 2nd and 3rd row seats down). Been parked in the garage most (70%) of the time. Paint has some very light scratches as well as one scratch on the front right bumper, but nothing really visible or worth repairing.

If you have any questions please shoot me an email, I am trying to me maximally transparent so now when I'm re-reading, this add may even sound a bit conservative. Truth is this car is in a great shape and was a good servant to me, may use few minor dent repairs that are not worth doing for me (maybe not even for you since engine is OK) but I believe if you invest few hundred (esp. tires) you'll have a car that will look just perfect. It runs great already.

Happy bidding!

Volvo begins rolling out over-the-air software updates in the U.S.

Mon, Nov 1 2021

Volvo announced that two of its models are now compatible with over-the-air software updates. The electric XC40 Recharge and three versions of the XC60 are eligible to receive a variety of wireless changes including driving range improvements and small bug fixes. The Swedish firm published details about its over-the-air software updating system shortly after going public. It's compatible with the new Android-based infotainment system found in many of its cars, including the C40 Recharge unveiled in 2021, and it works a lot like the similar technology that your smartphone features in the sense that the software updates itself; there's no need to stop by a dealer or plug in a USB drive. When an update is ready, a message appears on the dashboard-mounted touchscreen asking motorists if they want to download it. Owners of compatible cars in the United States received their first over-the-air software update last week. Labeled version 1.7, it notably added SiriusXM satellite radio compatibility. Volvo also noted that the XC40 Recharge received additional driving range during the update. Looking ahead, Volvo plans to wirelessly add new features and enhancements to the infotainment system. Only some 2021 and 2022 models can receive over-the-air updates. As of writing, the list of compatible cars is limited to the aforementioned XC40 Recharge, the XC60, the XC60 Recharge, and the XC60 Polestar Engineered. It's reasonable to assume that the feature will spread across the range in the coming years as new models are launched. Sister company Polestar also offers over-the-air updates on the 2.

Geely chairman is now the single biggest investor in Daimler

Fri, Feb 23 2018

Li Shufu, the chairman and main owner of Chinese carmaker Geely, has built a stake of 9.69 percent in Daimler AG, the German carmaker said in a regulatory filing on Friday. The stake, worth nearly $9 billion at the current valuation for Daimler shares, makes Li the biggest single shareholder in the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars, trucks and vans headquartered in the German city of Stuttgart. A Daimler spokesman called the stake purchase a private investment by Li. "We are delighted, with Li Shufu, to have won over another long-term investor who is convinced of Daimler's innovative prowess, strategy and future potential," the spokesman said in response to a request for comment. "Daimler knows and respects Li Shufu as a Chinese entrepreneur of particular competence and forward thinking." Li's stake purchase makes him the top shareholder in Daimler ahead of the Kuwait Investment Authority, which owned 6.8 percent as of Sept. 30, according to Thomson Reuters data. Earlier this month, the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag reported that the Chinese industry giant was seeking to become Daimler's biggest shareholder, likely exceeding the 6.8-percent stake of the Kuwait Investment Authority. The paper said Daimler had reportedly turned down Geely's $4.5 billion offer for a 5-percent stake via a discounted share placement, saying that Geely could buy shares in the open market. Institutional investors currently own 70.7 percent of Daimler, and the company already has strong ties to Chinese automakers BAIC and BYD. Bild am Sonntag said the move was intended as a strategic alliance against Apple, Google and Amazon on autonomous and connected cars. And Reuters reported that Daimler wants to have bespoke "robo taxis" on the road quicker than Google's Waymo, and views Geely as a strong partner for that. Geely conversely is interested in Daimler's electric car battery technology, and sources quoted by the German paper say there are plans to establish joint electric car manufacturing in Wuhan, China, to meet China's smog-reducing quotas. Geely is developing the Lynk & Co. brand of electric and hybrid cars. Geely owns Volvo, which has enjoyed a renaissance under the arrangement, as well as the maker of London's black cabs. In December, it bought a stake in AB Volvo, the maker of Volvo trucks.
