See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The ABS light comes on occasionally."

This car was purchased for a friend, in order that he might give to his daughter. She is starting college and would need a good commuting car.

I'm a retired mechanic and agreed to fix the car as if it were for my daughter.I looked at everything that I could think of. First, I flushed all of the fluids, cooling system, transmission and brakes. During this process, I replaced the timing belt, but the idler bearings and water pump were very tight (good condition) and these were not replaced nor was the accessory belt. I replaced the front brake pads and turned the rotors. The rear brakes were fine. I have on order a front strut bushing; it doesn't affect the suspension, but allows the occasional clunk from the front.

The car had some tuning problems when purchased; these were repaired. She passed SMOG with great (low) numbers.

When he told me that he no longer needed the car as his ex-wife purchased an almost new Ford Fiesta. You wouldn't have wanted to hear my friends views on this matter. I promptly registered and insured the car in my name. I didn't finish attending to the occasional ABS light.

As the mileage was so low for the year, it certainly is suspect. My investigations at the time of purchase led me to believe that it wasn't far off of the mark. The driver's seat is cracked, but not torn. The idler bearings nor the water pump did not need replacement. I feel as though the car does not have more than 90,000, as the timing belt was OK! I will be interested to see the ebay car fax.

The tires have around 10,000 miles left.

The car is is economical; I getting close to 20 mpg in town.. She is also great fun to drive. Will cruise at 75 MPH and brakes straight. All of the body lines are correct: she shows no sign of having been in any serious accident. The title is NOT salvage!

Tony Nicolosi named CEO of Volvo Cars North America

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

Volvo announced today that it has named Tony Nicolosi, president and CEO of Volvo Car Financial Services VCFS), as the new CEO of Volvo Cars of North America (VCNA). Nicolosi replaces John Maloney, who chose to leave due to family obligations after Volvo offered him a position in Europe.
Volvo says Nicolosi will remain president and CEO of VCFS while he assumes VCNA's top position. The Swedish automaker also says a "permanent successor [to Maloney] as President and CEO will be the subject of a later announcement."
The move comes as part of a management shakeup that's part of a "larger transformation taking place at Volvo," the automaker says.

Volvo to unveil permanent high-beam headlamp technology [w/video]

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Volvo will be showing off its Active High Beam technology at the Geneva Motor Show next week. The system will allow drivers to use their high beams all the time and adds another responsibility to the cameras mounted by the rearview mirror, making them detect traffic ahead, whether it be another car or a truck or motorcycle and in the same lane or oncoming. When a vehicle is detected, a special projector in the Xenon lamps can block out only the portion of the high beam that would impair the other driver. Volvo says the system is accurate down to a 1.5-inch margin around another object.
Active High Beam will be fitted to the Volvo S60, V60 and XC60 and we have to assume they mean the non-US versions of those cars. Audi has a similar technology that it calls "matrix beam lighting," and due to the way the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard code is written, such active control of high beams is verboten on cars sold here.
The Swedish brand also plans to present a collision-avoidance technology it's calling a "world-first." The press release below has more information and the accompanying video demonstrates the lighting tech.

Leno shows off his current project cars

Mon, Aug 10 2015

When your car collection grows to the enormous size of Jay Leno's, adding the usual muscle cars or European exotics loses the allure. It becomes necessary to start taking the things in weird directions. Leno is proving just that with his latest tour of many of the ongoing projects currently happening in the garage. With everything from Harley-Davidson generators to '50s hot rods on display just in this short video, there's something any fan can love. The place is like an automotive wonderland. For most people any one of these projects would be an absolute dream. For example, Leno has a copy of a one-off Mercedes-Benz racecar transporter that is nearly ready to drive. Another project hasn't even started yet but already seriously piqued our interest. Leno obtained a very ratty 1966 Volvo 122S wagon, but rather than just a restoration he's has a plan to get a V8 with a flat-plane crank from Volvo performance specialists Polestar. Another project on the way should provide a significant upgrade in performance, while still being quite green. Leno's team has already rebuilt the frame and wooden body from a 1914 Detroit Electric, and with that work done they've started dreaming of a modern drivetrain for it. One proposed candidate for the swap has been to install motor from a Nissan Leaf and a bank of lithium-ion batteries.
