1995 Volvo 850 T5-r Wagon Rare! Black. Owned Since 1997. on 2040-cars
Rockford, Illinois, United States
Sad to sell Olga! She has been a great car since I bought her from Land Rover Winnetka(Chicago) in '97.
I have most of the maintenance records since she was out of warranty and serviced exclusively by one local Indy shop. Bought a new Volvo and must let her go. Always been garaged up until last month. This car is a tank. I always felt so safe and it never let me down. It is a beast in the Winter with the extra set of wheels with Blizzaks on them. The current wheels are 16" swept turbos with good tires. I seemed to constantly bend the original 17" Volans around town and they were too expensive to keep replacing. Just had it into the mechanics and they said it was driving really well. I have noticed an occasion issue when cold starting. The car has always been a quick turn of the key and go. Sometimes it needs a few more seconds recently. It never happen when the shop had it of course! May need some tinkering. I don't have time to take it back and deal with it. Looking for a good home to a Volvo enthusiast. There is a lot of life left in this car. I have used this car loaded up for camping, hauling my stand up paddle board. There are some scratches in the paint on the roof. A few door dings and such. There is on scratch above the left rear wheel when I parked my Vespa too close and it caught the rack. I have brand new cans of touch up and clear coat that will go with the car. The only surface rust is new to appear near the left rear wheel well. Could be easily fixed. Drivers side seat has normal wear and tear and had a seam sewed years ago. The passenger seat seam needs repair in center bottom. Rear seats are great! Premium sound system. AC was totally replaced about 5 yrs ago. It uses about a quart of oil between changes. No biggie. Trans oil has been replaced in the past. Shifts smoothly. The engine still has great power and purrs along nicely. I still love driving this car. It is much more solid feeling than my new Volvo. This higher horsepower T5-R only came out mid-year 1995. Limited edition. Can we call it rare? Yes. Just as I was going to list it this week the heat shield above the exhaust started making noises. A friend clamped it for now. Arrggh! Timing! Battery is 3 years old and strong. Always starts right up in the winter. Please feel free to ask questions and I will edit and put more info and pics on tomorrow night. On Sep-18-14 at 20:46:00 PDT, seller added the following information: Both rear brake calipers have been replaced. That is why they aren't red like the front anymore. There is a place in the front lower spoiler where I got to close to the lawnmower in the garage and it put a 5 inch flaw in it. I can email a photo if anyone wants to see that. Just cosmetic. The speedometer gear has been replaced a few years back. This is a common problem. Mileage is accurate. On Sep-18-14 at 20:50:58 PDT, seller added the following information: Check engine light is on. I have had my mechanic scan and reset it so many times. He thinks it is because we put a non-OEM catalytic convertor on it. Emission code stuff. |

These are your top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012
Mon, Jan 7 2013Despite 2012 being the best year of auto sales this country has seen since 2007, not every vehicle got an equally large share of the sales pie. Some barely got a sliver, as evidenced by this year's list of the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. We've dug through sales data from every automaker to come up with this year's list and, like last year, we've set some parameters to ensure it includes legitimately bad-selling vehicles. The first parameter is a starting MSRP under $100,000, which automatically excludes what's parked in most one-percenters' garages. We're also excluding vehicles cancelled in 2012, even if they garnered sales through the end of the year while dealerships sold off remaining inventory. This includes models like the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and last year's worst-seller, the Acura RL. Next, vehicles are considered as they are reported by the automaker, which means that, while sales of the Murano CrossCabriolet were probably low enough to make the list, because Nissan reports only one number for all Murano sales, it was excluded. Cadillac, however, reports sales of the Escalade EXT separately from the Escalade, hence its repeat appearance. Finally, there was the question of whether or not eligibility should be given to Suzuki vehicles, as the brand announced in November that it would end sales in the US as soon as its current inventory ran out. We decided Suzuki vehicles should be included as the brand was offering 2013 models at the time of the announcement, and as far as we can tell, inventory levels remained high enough to satisfy demand through the end of the year. Without further ado, below are the top 10 worst-selling vehicles of 2012. Top 10 Worst-Selling Vehicles of 2012 10. Volvo C30 MSRP: $25,500 Units Sold: 2,827 Last Year: – 9. BMW Z4 MSRP: $47,350 Units Sold: 2,751 Last Year: – 8. Audi TT MSRP: $39,545 Units Sold: 2,226 Last Year: – 7. Subaru Tribeca MSRP: $32,595 Units Sold: 2,075 Last Year: 10 6. Suzuki Equator MSRP: $19,449 Units Sold: 1,966 Last Year: 7 5. Cadillac Escalade EXT MSRP: $63,060 Units Sold: 1,934 Last Year: 6 4. Nissan GT-R MSRP: $96,820 Units Sold: 1,188 Last Year: – 3.

Volvo Recharge models get more power and electric range
Fri, Sep 10 2021Volvo Belgium announced a few big improvements for plug-in hybrid models on the automaker's Scalable Product Architecture, meaning the 60 and 90 series Recharge models — S60, V60, XC60, S90, V90 and XC90. First, the battery's been given another layer of cells, upping capacity from 11.6 kWh to 18.8 kWh. At the moment, Volvo's UK site advertises two figures for all-electric range on the WLTP cycle for the XC60 and XC90, and says the S90 can already do 90 kilometers on a charge. The spec pages, however, say the XC60 can do 32 kilometers maximum, the XC90 able to go 30 kilometers. With the new battery, Volvo says all-electric range has improved to up to 90 kilometers (56 miles) on the WLTP cycle, but that will surely depend on model. Our U.S.-market XC90 PHEV is EPA-rated at 18 miles of battery-electric driving. A 62% increase would put that at about 30 miles. Just as good as the battery boost, the 87-horsepower e-motor that powers the rear axle on the Recharge trims is goosed to 145 hp. The T6 Recharge powertrain will make 350 combined horsepower, ten horses more than currently, and the T8 Recharge powertrain will make a combined 455 hp, a considerable 65 horses more than now. That makes the coming T8 the most powerful Volvo ever put into series production. The T8's 2.0-liter twin-charged engine has also been engineered for more efficiency as well as "higher engine power at low revs and at start-up," but Volvo hasn't offered specifics on that yet. Finally, drivers will be able to control all that go with just the accelerator pedal, Volvo adding single pedal drive on the XC60 Recharge, S90 Recharge, and V90 Recharge. There's no word on when we might see them; introduction sometime during the 2022 model year seems sensible. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Volvo Concept Coupe is brand's 'next-generation P1800' [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013
Volvo is calling the Concept Coupe its "next-generation P1800."
The teasing can now officially come to an end - Volvo has released all the images, videos and details on its new Concept Coupe, and we're intrigued. The Swedish automaker is calling the concept its "next-generation P1800," and those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Fortunately, it's not all talk; there are clear links to Volvo's much-loved coupe in its shape, though we certainly wouldn't call the Concept Coupe 'retro.'
