1997 Volvo 850 Manual Non-turbo - Great, Safe, Reliable Car! on 2040-cars
United States
|
For sale is my 1997 Volvo 850, 5-speed manual, non-turbo. I am selling because I got a new job that requires me to commute and I no longer enjoy driving stick shift every day. I have put tons of time and money in this car and it has been extremely reliable. I am the third owner. I bought the car in 2010 with around 181,000 miles. The car currently has 216,3xx miles. It has never been in an accident (I have an autocheck report).
Please do not let the mileage dissuade you. With Volvos, mileage really does not matter as long as the car has been properly maintained. These cars easily go 300k+ miles without needing any major work. The car runs great and the transmission shifts perfectly. It does not leak any fluids. The heat and air conditioning work excellent. The oil was changed every 4k-5k miles using Volvo (or Mann) filters and Mobil 10w30 oil. The tires were rotated every 5k miles and I had regular alignments done. I have a 3 year alignment plan at the local NTB that expires in April 2014. There are no warning lights illuminated on the dash (check engine light, etc.) I take very good care of all my cars, so whenever this car needed something, I replaced it. The interior is in excellent condition. There are no tears or holes in the seats. It is one of the quietest 850s you will ever drive (these models are notorious for squeaks/rattles). Everything inside the car works, except for the heated seats. Windows are tinted 35%. The car comes with two keys and one keyless remote. The only flaws with the car are cosmetic. The paint isn't in perfect condition. The car looks good in pictures and shines up well, but there are a number of parking lot dings and scratches. I say that only so interested buyers are not surprised when they see the car in person. There is a small dent on the hood, above the grille, from when the previous owner bumped into his garage. There also is a tiny chip in the top/middle of the windshield. Below is a list of all of the maintenance I've done, with mileage. I have receipts for almost everything. -Clutch was replaced at ~150,000 (previous owner) -Heater core was replaced at ~150,000 (previous owner) -Rear antenna assembly - 181.5k -Serpentine belt - 181.6k -Spark plugs - 181.6k -Heater core firewall coupler - 182.5k -Door check (driver's front door) 183.6k -New battery - 183.6k (April 2011) -New Volvo steering wheel (original was worn) - 183.7k -PCV system replaced - 183.7k -Distributor cap & rotor - 183.7k -Rear cam seals - 183.7k -Front Control arms (both sides) - 183.8k -Endlinks (both sides) - 183.8k -Inner & outer tie rods (both sides) - 183.8k -Front spring seats - (both sides) 183.8k -Front brake lines (both sides) - 183.8k -Fuel filter - 184.k -Cabin filter - 184.5k -Goodyear eagle GT tires (x4) - 185.5k -Front and rear brake rotors and brake pads (all around) -186k -Emergency brake pads - 186k -ABS computer - 188.5k -Driver's side axle - 188.7k -Lower transmission mount - 189.1k -Trunk struts - 191.6k -Timing belt, tensioner, all pulleys, and water pump - 193k -Front cam seals -193k -Passenger side axle & axle seal - 195k -Lower front engine mount - 196.6k -A/C evaporator - 198k -Upper & lower radiator hoses - 198k -Coolant flush - 198k -Front struts - 216k -New headliner - 216k Please feel free to ask questions.

10 best new car deals of November 2021
Thu, Nov 4 2021Sales of new cars, trucks and SUVs were drastically affected in 2020 due to the (still) ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The market started to show signs of recovery toward the end of last year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Of course, then pandemic-related parts and worker shortages along with global shipping constraints started running amok and causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. Those problems (among other things) have led to record-high new-car transaction prices in the United States. The good news is that there are still plenty of great deals on new cars. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for November 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
Volvo eying return to 100k US sales to ensure dealer profitability
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Struggling Volvo may be on a verge of a renaissance thanks to the forthcoming completion of its lauded concept car trilogy, new Drive-E engine family and much-discussed SPA modular platform. Its nascent renewal is mostly being financed by $11-billion in funding from its Chinese parent company, Geely, and if it all goes right, Volvo hopes to sell 100,000 cars a year in the States by 2016. That milestone is vital, because it would ensure Volvo's US dealer network is profitable, according to Volvo CEO Håkan Samuelsson.
In a new Ward's Auto story, Samuelsson notes that his company is launching a slate of fresh products in the coming years, including the new-to-the-US V60 wagon and mid-cycle updates for its S60 sedan and XC60 crossover. But the most important new vehicle will be the recently spied XC90 that is expected to be unveiled just before the end of this year. Samuelsson is also looking at future vehicles for the US, including replacements for the S80 and V70. The V40 is also planned for the US, but not until the next generation, according to the Volvo CEO.
Of course, it's going to take a lot to reach 100,000 US sales in three years. Volvo sold just 61,233 units here in 2013, and according to WardsAuto, Volvo hasn't sold 100,000 cars in the US since 2007. To reach its goal, Volvo's stateside business will need to grow sales by about 40 percent.
