There wre two incidents involving insurance claims – one door ding and the second involved a tree branch that landed on the hood. In both cases it was cosmetic damage. The car has never been in an accident. Two mechanical issues which were solved - one with a slower than usual acceleration (solved at the ECU level) and a clunking in the front end (solved by replacing a suspension arm). All service and repairs (mechanical and body) were performed at the dealership (Carling Motors, Ottawa). The major 100Km. service interval was just performed ($1000) as well as new front brake pads and rotors ($450). The car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) has been flashed with the latest version. Current State: The car has three door dings and 4 smallish scrapes on the bumper and rims and a few nicks in the interior. Everything electrical and mechanical is functioning perfectly. The acceleration is as strong as it was 10 years ago (therein lies the difference between Volvo and the Germans). The paint and interior are exceptionally clean. The highlights of this car are; low mileage; predicted dependability; comfort (the seats are best in the business); performance; safety; space; a very good audio system. Durability: Volvo tries to build all their cars with longevity in mind. When they succeed the results are extraordinary and I believe this S80 is one such example. Below I have listed a number of web sites below that post professional and owner's reviews on this car. As you read through the reviews keep this in mind - “Generally, if you take care of a car, it will last.” After owning 3 Volvos over 20 years I know this to be true. (Please note some of the reviews are related to the normally aspirated 2.8 litre and to earlier model years). There are the usual amount of haters. http://www.cars.com/volvo/s80/2004/expert-reviews http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/2004-Volvo-S80-Reviews-c5987 http://www.carsurvey.org/reviews/volvo/s80/2004/ Idiosyncrasies: Typical of this generation of S80's is an intermittent clunking noises from the undercarriage. The noise usually appears after a slow impact bump, such as a unusually high speed bump. It may hang around for a few hours and then quiets down. These noises are a result of a misaligned cover at the top of the front struts. It is not a structural nor safety issue. Repalcing the covers is not worth the money. BTW - I haven't heard anything for almost two months now. There is a K&N air filter installed as a performance enhancement. While it does improve performance the in-city gas mileage is reduced by 22-25%. Funny though, the highway mileage stays the same. The installation of the standard Volvo air filter would bring the mileage back to normal. Price: $7900 The Canadian Black Book lists the Trade-in value (what the dealer will give you) between $5141 and $7991. The same site suggests the average asking price is $8943. http://www.canadianblackbook.com/black-book-values/index/display/neworused/used/year/2004/make/Volvo/postalcode/K1S0B6/model/S80/mode/marketanalysis/trim/T6/style/4D%20Sedan/ VMR Canada (associated with Edmonds) lists the S80 as wholesale $7900 and retail $10,075. http://www.vmrcanada.com/value_menus/canprices/04vv80es.html The current national average (Auto Trader, Kijiji, eBay) is $8060 for cars with 50-100% more mileage. Given all of the above I think the asking price is reasonable (and relaistic).

2021 Volvo XC90 Recharge Road Test Review | I could've had a T8!
Tue, Mar 16 2021Second thoughts … sometimes even buyerÂ’s remorse. Nagging doubts can follow life's big decisions — and buying a car is a biggie. Was it the right choice? Or as the poet said: "You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile / And you may ask yourself, 'Well, how did I get here?'" Two years ago, I bought a 2017 Volvo XC90 lease return with 11,000 miles on it. I hadnÂ’t expected to find an XC90 within my budget, but this one was attractively priced because it, A) was a T5, meaning turbo-only; B) had the base Momentum interior; and C) was a third-row delete, which was a turnoff to other car shoppers. Otherwise, it was heavily optioned and seemed like it would serve my family well and keep them safe. And it has. It has lots of room. It drives as well as any medium-large SUV can. The tough leatherette endures the abuse of dogs and kids and the dirt of outdoor activities. The legendary Volvo seats have comforted and supported us, even on a 750-mile day from California to Washington. We've routinely seen highway mileage go past 30 mpg. And the off-road mode was surefooted during last month's nationwide snowfall. The carÂ’s great. And yet, while at the Volvo dealership for complimentary service, sipping the waiting-room coffee and wandering the showroom, you see the cars you could have bought, had you spent more money — a turbo-and-supercharged T6, or the twin-charged-plus-plug-in-hybrid Recharge (previously known by the powertrain's name of T8). And with Volvo's elegant Inscription interiors. Would they have provided a better ownership experience than our secondhand lower-rung model? One doesnÂ’t often get a do-over to answer such questions. But a recent week in a 2021 Volvo XC90 Recharge provided a drive down the nicer road not taken. The differences between a 2017 T5 Momentum and the 2021 Recharge Inscription are many, and also few. They're basically the same car, same dimensions inside and out, same overall feel. Panoramic sunroof, same. Massive cargo hold, same — though because ours lacks the third row, it gains a large secret underfloor storage compartment. Both XC90s have roof rails, but the rails on the new car are flush-mounted versus the '17's raised rails (youÂ’d need different crossbar towers for each).
Volvo Cars hopes to raise $2.9 billion in its stock IPO
Mon, Oct 4 2021STOCKHOLM/LONDON — Geely-owned Volvo Cars plans to raise 25 billion Swedish crowns ($2.9 billion) through an initial public offering (IPO), the Swedish carmaker said on Monday of what would be one of Europe's biggest listings this year. Volvo said it will list on the Nasdaq Stockholm stock exchange this year and that Chinese owner Geely Holding would remain its biggest shareholder. In 2018, Volvo Cars and Geely, which also owns an 8.2% stake in Sweden's Volvo Trucks, postponed plans to float shares in the Swedish carmaker, citing trade tensions and a downturn in automotive stocks. "Volvo Cars believes that its unique structure and focused strategy makes it one of the fastest transformers in the global automotive industry, with mid-decade ambitions dedicated to electrification, sustainability and digitization," the Swedish company said in a statement. Like a number of other carmakers, Volvo has committed to shifting its entire car range to fully-electric models by 2030. Volvo said is targeting an operating margin of between 8% and 10% by 2025. It is also aiming for annual sales of 1.2 million cars, up 56% from the 770,000 it sold in the 12 months to June 20 this year. Electric push The carmaker said it expects 50% of sales to be fully electric cars by the middle of the decade and that 50% of sales will be made online rather than in dealerships. Volvo Cars said earlier on Monday that its sales in September fell 30% from a year earlier, dented by the global components shortage. Sources told Reuters last month that Geely was in advanced discussions with banks to list the Swedish company in the coming weeks, aiming for a valuation of about $20 billion. Volvo Cars had previously said it was considering a Stockholm listing in the second half of 2021. A Volvo spokesperson on Monday said that the company had no comment on valuation or on how much of the business would be sold in the IPO. "There will be further information published in connection with the prospectus," she said. Electric-car maker Polestar, which is owned by Geely and Volvo, last week said it will go public by merging with a U.S.-listed special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) backed by billionaire Alec Gores and investment bank Guggenheim Partners at an enterprise value of $20 billion.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
