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!

12-year-old golfer wins Volvo for hole-in-one [w/video]

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Some people just have all of the luck. Natasha Oon, a 12-year-old girl in Malaysia, was recently attending the 40th RSGC Ladies Amateur Open Championship at the Royal Selangor Golf Club with her parents. On a whim, she teed up a shot with her eight iron and scored a hole-in-one. That would have been impressive for a girl her age by any standards, but she didn't see the sign that said making the shot also won her a new Volvo XC60 T5. Not a bad prize for a tween who won't be allowed to drive for at least a few years.
So what does any good 12-year-old do with a CUV? Give it to her parents of course. According to website Paultan, she plans on giving the crossover to her mom and told her, "this is the car that you will use to drive me to school every day." Scroll down to watch video of Oon receiving the oversized key to the Volvo with her family and a brief interview with her about what she was thinking when she found out she won a car for sinking a fantastic shot.

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.'
