1996 Volvo 850 R Wagon 4-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
Chagrin Falls, Ohio, United States
|
The Volvo 850R Station Wagon, a high performance model, developed in part with Porsche, was released and the rest is history. Anyone that knows their Volvo's an tell you that the limited production 850R is a rare machine. In 5-door form, the turbocharged station wagon can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 7.4 seconds and reach up to 158 mph (254 km/h). Various Volvo sources estimate between 5000-7000 of all 850 R variants were produced and sold worldwide. The Volvo 850R wagon features the 2.3 liter, 5-cylinder, turbocharged engine. The turbo in the R model boasts an incredible 11 pounds of boost, compared to the 850 turbo wagon which produces only 5-6 pounds of boost. If you don't know the reputation of these cars, please follow the links posted below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ReaHyJ0m9E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ3mD62ZuAU This particular example of the 850R wagon is a true specimen of a great history of proper maintenance. The previous owner of this car was a high-end Volvo and Saab repair shop out here east of Cleveland, Ohio. This car used to be the courtesy car for Swedish Solutions, a shop with a storied reputation for only the best in Volvo repairs and maintenance. You can be assured that the history of the car is a great one. This car always had proper and regular maintenance. It's had oil changes every 3,000 miles, and all scheduled timing belt replacements have been done. Needless to say, this car has a meticulous maintenance history. The car is the 5-cylinder, 2.3 liter turbo with an automatic transmission. It runs and drives flawlessly. The engine pulls strong, the turbo is perfect, and the transmission is flawless. The suspension on the car is still very tight and strong. Everything on the car works perfect. This includes all of the windows, locks, 8-way power front seats, power mirrors, power sunroof, stereo, cruise control, etc. The stereo is a newer Alpine headset with bluetooth and usb inputs. It also still retains the factory warrantee. The interior is in great shape, with no tears in the leather and no cracks on the dash. This particular model features the raphine grey leather with dark alcantara seat and door inserts, burled black walnut wood trim on instrument panel and floor console with Graphite carpeting/interior trim, light Grey coloured; leather gear knob, parking brake handle, seat piping and steering wheel insert. The factory floor mats are included. The rear storage area has a cargo mat. The factory pet fence for the rear seat is included (see pic). One of the front wheels was damaged and replaced by a new wheel and tire. I do not have the damaged wheel. The A/C will need to be recharged. The clear coat on the roof has begun to peeal (see pic) and there is a small spot of clear coat fade on the front hood. The car will consume 1/2 to 3/4 of a quart of oil between oil changes. I did notice a puff of smoke from the exhaust when you hit the gas had after the engine's been warmed up and allowed to stand at idle for at least a few minutes. This is my 4th 5-cylinder Volvo wagon, and 3 of the 4 had the same oil issue. It's nothing that will effect the drivability of the car, but I want to make everyone aware of any and all issues that I know about. Bottom line, this is an awesome, rare, and fun car that is ready to drive for a long time. I wish I could keep it, but I just found an early air-cooled VW that I really want, and my wife said I can't keep both. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, and good luck! Car sold as-is, where is, with no warrantee expressed or implied. It is the sole responsibility of the bidder to inspect the car prior to purchase.

European new car sales drop nearly 8% in first half of 2019
Thu, Jul 18 2019PARIS — European car sales dropped 7.9% in June, led by bigger declines for Nissan, Volvo and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), according to industry data published on Wednesday. Registrations fell to 1.49 million cars last month from 1.62 million a year earlier across the European Union and EFTA countries, the Brussels-based Association of European Carmakers said in a statement. Calendar effects resulted in two fewer sales days in most markets, accentuating the decline. Registrations for the first half closed 3.1% lower, ACEA said. For European carmakers, weakening demand at home compounds the pressure from a sharper contraction in China and emerging markets that may yet bring more profit warnings. NissanÂ’s aging model lineup contributed to a 26.6% June sales slump while Volvo Cars, owned by ChinaÂ’s Geely, saw deliveries tumble 21.7%. Registrations also fell 13.5% last month at FCA, 10.1% at BMW, 9.6% at Volkswagen Group and 8.2% for both Mercedes parent Daimler and FranceÂ’s PSA Group. The Peugeot makerÂ’s domestic rival Renault suffered less, posting a 3.9% decline. By the Numbers BMW Chrysler Fiat Nissan Volkswagen Volvo Peugeot Renault
Volvo: Tesla's Autopilot is just a 'wannabe'
Fri, Apr 29 2016Using the words "unsupervised wannabe" in an interview with The Verge, Volvo's Trent Victor says the Tesla Autopilot is "giving the impression it's doing more than it is." According to Victor, Tesla's self-driving tech is merely appearing to be autonomous because, with the Tesla system, the driver has to be fully alert all the time, ready to regain control. Tesla says its system is Level 2 autonomous, although some experts regard it as Level 3, which means it takes over safety-critical functions from the driver. Volvo says it pays more attention to actual crash avoidance, and that its Drive Me system is Level 4 autonomous, meaning that in the event of a hazardous situation the vehicle will handle the appropriate procedures and bring itself to a halt in a safe fashion. There will be no need for the driver to take action, which is important in case the driver has been incapacitated while the Drive Me autopilot has been controlling the car. Another thing with the Volvo setup is that it monitors the road in case of a conflict situation, or someone suddenly appearing in front of the car, be it a pedestrian or a runaway child. Tesla has never said that its Autopilot is anything other than a beta version under trial usage. It costs $2,500 when you purchase your Model 2 or X, or $3,000 as a add-on once you've taken delivery. The company also just announced that it would offer Autopilot for free as part of a one-month trial. Tesla declined to comment on Volvo's comment.

Volvo planning Golf rival, 'breathtaking' C60 coupe
Wed, 01 May 2013Despite just having refreshed nearly its entire portfolio, Volvo is still in the middle of a big product offensive. Vehicles like the C30 hatchback and C70 convertible have been given the axe, but a brand-new platform is being developed in addition to the Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA) that will underpin larger vehicles. According to Automobile, this means some very interesting newcomers may be on tap for the brand.
Volvo, in collaboration with Geely, is said to be working on a new platform about the size of a Volkswagen Golf that will likely spawn both a sedan and hatchback. Automobile reports that while the automaker's new scalable architecture is quite flexible, it cannot be stretched (or rather, shrunk) to accommodate a smaller vehicle.
Instead, SPA will be used for the company's larger offerings, starting with the V40 on the small end. (Though to our eyes, the current V40 looks plenty Golf-sized to us.) A new XC40 is apparently in the works, as is an S90 flagship, and new versions of the XC60, XC90 and S60 will all be coming based on this new flexible architecture.
