The sad day has come when I have to let this reliable beauty go. I have one too many cars and thinking about a move to the big city. From 1992 to 2010 the car was owned by an Ivy League neuroscientist and maintained as you might expect an Ivy League neuroscientist to maintain his vehicle. Repairs under his ownership were performed by the local Volvo dealer, and I have all vehicle records documenting everything from his original purchase of the car to my last oil change. The previous owner was so aggressive about performing preventive maintenance that aside from a timing belt, motor mounts, and engine seals, I haven't had to do anything but routine maintenance since owning the car. I purchased the car in 2010 and drove the car with mostly highway miles. The car has been very reliable, and I wouldn't hesitate to take it on a cross country trip today. Some of the more recent repairs were done at the following mileage: 107,396: New clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing; resurfaced flywheel 112,197: New catalytic converter 127,031: New front/rear brakes and rotors, clean/inspect/repack wheel bearings, new lower ball joints 132,018: New muffler, exhaust pipe 137,986: New motors mounts, rear brakes, tail lamps, rear tires 140,773: New alternator, headlight bulbs 142,580: New front brakes 143,862: New timing belt, front/rear engine seals, valve gasket, all drive belts 158,000: New rear tires 167,233: New distributor cap, rotor, tailgate wiring harnesses, spark plugs 169,594: New battery The car has some of the cosmetic flaws you might expect of a car from 1992. However, there are no major dents or dings. The paint and black trim are a little faded, but the car has very little rust as the photos attest. The interior has been normal wear. The front speakers are a mismatched Volvo/Kenwood pair, but the aftermarket Pioneer stereo has CD/USB and miniplug audio input. The rear tires are only 10,000 miles old, but the front tires should be replaced soon. Two years ago I installed a new tailgate wiring harnesses to replace the original wiring harnesses which were broken due to the stress of being routed through the tailgate hinge (a known design flaw in these Volvo wagons). To prevent the new wiring harnesses from breaking, I routed them through the cab as opposed to through the hinges; as you can see in the photos, the wiring harnesses currently are attached to the roof to their connection in the tailgate. In the process of fixing this harness I opted to leave the central aux brake light and the rear window wiper disconnected. The rear window wiper activation button is also stuck. There is a 6" crack in the windshield. The AC works but could use a recharge. Those are all the details of the few issues I am aware of. The vehicle has been incredibly reliable, and a joy to care for. Very sad to see this one go, and I hope to hand it on to someone who will enjoy it as much as I did. Car also includes a Bike Rack and Cargo turtle bag that fit the vehicle and have only been used twice.
$500 will be due via PayPal within 24 hours of the auction's close. Once I have full payment I will express mail the title to you 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 at no charge for 7 days after the auction's close, but unless we make arrangements otherwise on the 8th day on there will be a storage charge of $20 per day.

Volvo shows inflatable child seat concept [w/video]
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Volvo is bringing its emphasis on safety and design to the littlest members of the family with its concept for an inflatable, rearward facing child safety seat. The design is meant to help traveling families by offering a lighter and less bulky alternative to traditional car seats.
The design is quite ingenious. The seat is covered in drop-stitched fabric, which fills with air to create the form of the seat. An electric motor in it allows inflation and deflation in less than 40 seconds, according to Volvo. It weighs less than 5 kilograms (11 pounds) and folds small enough when collapsed to fit into a bag. It even has a Bluetooth connection, so parents can begin expanding it remotely.
The inflatable seat in the brainchild of Lawrence Abele, Volvo's design manager at its Monitoring and Concept Center in Los Angeles, CA. "For many, travelling with young children is a challenge; any assistance to simplify the parents' life with young children is a great thing," he said in a statement released by Volvo. The chair remains a concept for now, and the automaker isn't saying whether it's going to put it into production, but it's a clever solution to a common problem. Scroll down for a video showing it in action and to read the release.

Volvo considering offering V60 wagon in the US
Tue, 12 Mar 2013For 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.
