This is a 1996 Volvo 850 "R" with 291,968 miles on it. It is in very good condition. The only thing not working at this time is the air conditioning. The car has power windows, power locks, a power moon roof, cruise control, seat heaters, power mirrors, rear area cover that retracts, power seats for driver and passenger. AM-FM stereo with cassette and CD, enhanced stereo as part of the "R" package. The "R" designation means that this is a Porsche designed performance package automobile. It has a computer chip that gives the turbo extra boost. It develops 243 horsepower. The wheels are 17" diameter spoke wheels. The upholstery has suede inserts. The door panels are leather trimmed. The dash has a dark walnut / beryl looking trim accent.
The car has been Extreme Dynamat lined for sound deadening. Inside the doors are lined, as well as the rear tire well. It was done before I got the car and I am not sure where else is lined.
This car is smooth and powerful. Just a tap of the throttle sails you up to highway speed when entering an on ramp. The tires are in near new condition. The brakes are new. It has a new front wheel hub. It has a new catalytic converter. It has a new timing belt, installed 1000 miles ago. It is registered in California until May of 2014. It has a fresh smog check done this week. The stereo works very well. It has a bit of turbo lag that can be adjusted out I have been told. As long as you roll on the throttle easily, you will never notice it. The upholstery is in very good condition. The roof of the car has been repainted. The color matched the alloy wheels. It has a factory roof rack.
Call me to make a direct deal at 760-481-8710. If we can make a deal before 12 hours are left on the auction I can close down this auction. It is being advertised locally and may be closed as soon as I can make a deal.
I would consider a trade for an inboard / outboard ski boat with an open bow and a V-6 engine.

Volvo details upcoming XC90's new scalable platform
Tue, 12 Aug 2014In two weeks' time, we'll be boarding a flight for Stockholm for the live reveal of the new Volvo XC90. But before we do, Volvo has revealed another round of salient details regarding not only its new crossover, but a whole range of new vehicles to share its architecture.
That platform is called Scalable Product Architecture, and it follows the latest industry trend towards modular platforms. The product of four years' development, the new platform uses high-strength boron steel to optimize weight and rigidity. The scalable architecture, set to underpin the next-generation S60, V60, XC60, S80 and anything larger, offers designers more flexibility in terms of proportions. It can be adapted to a wide range of vehicles of different shapes and sizes, designed from the get-go to incorporate a range of powertrains (including the XC90's new twin-charged hybrid system) and all the latest safety technologies you'd expect from a Volvo.
The XC90, Volvo has revealed, will also offer increased interior flexibility, with movable second and third rows to optimize cargo space and legroom as needed. That third row is designed to accommodate children (or small adults) up to five-foot-seven. Meanwhile the image inset above gives us our first glimpse at the new XC90's styling, with T-shaped running lights inspired by Thor's hammer.
Volvo's pedestrian airbags may already be on their way out
Sun, 01 Dec 2013As proof of just how quickly automotive technology can advance, just check out the Volvo V40. Developed with an external airbag aimed at better protecting pedestrians in the event of a collision, this innovative safety device could be phased out soon in place of more advanced active safety technologies like pedestrian detection and auto braking.
Go Auto had a chance to talk to Volvo senior VP Lex Kerssmakers at the Tokyo Motor Show, and he suggested that the V40's under-hood airbag will not be used on the next-gen XC90 and might not even be continued on non-SUV models. The passive airbag was designed to deploy at speeds of less than 31 miles per hour to help limit head injuries to pedestrians, but new active technologies are designed to prevent collisions in the first place.
The interview also reveals some details about the new XC90, such as the inclusion of a plug-in hybrid system and the debut of a new safety technology. Kerssmakers told Go Auto that a new Volvo concept will be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in January, but it won't be for the XC90.
