1997 Volvo 854 T-5M
After 5 wonderful years of Volvo ownership, My car must be passed on to another Volvo enthusiast. It will be missed as a dear friend... This car although drivable and reliable needs work and is to be considered a project car. It has been my project since 2009. In order for it to pass inspection it will need at the minimum rear brake rotors, pads, and calipers, rear tires, passenger rear trailing arm. It has a lot of little flaws as expected with a 17 year old car. Starting with It leaks oil, approx 1 qt a month but its enough to leave an oil spot, occasional blue smoke on startup depending on how long it sits, alignment is slightly off, almost every body panel has paint flaws, chips, scratches, dents, etc., hood latch release behind the grille is broken, rear passenger door has an indent from a rock, passenger side skirt is broken in front of rear wheel. Interior is your typical late 90's 850, some pieces are broken, missing. Interior was ratty and leather was cracked so the front seats and carpet were changed, Dash was cracked and replaced with a black cover. The lower rear was removed, Headliner was dirty and replaced with a plaid sheet of material but now sagging, The front valance was cabinet trim but was scraped so I removed it for the winter months. A/C still works and blows cold and the heat works well but sometimes it has a slight coolant smell (common) It has the stock ECU and it runs rich and doesn't have "rev-hold" so it may seem a little jerky while decelerating. The BOV is not connected as that was a failed project and did not work with the stock diverter valve. Hopefully I have covered most of its flaws. For the most part I have kept up on most of its common issues. The PCV and catch can as well as the throttle body have been recently cleaned, replaced fuel pump and relay, timing belt was done approx 50k ago. The turbo spools up as it should, doesn't leak or blow smoke, Struts, mounts, spring seats, springs, subframe bushings and lower control arms were changed approx 20k ago. Transmission gear oil has been changed with amsoil gl5 approx 20k and have run rotella T5-T6 since I've owned it. Recently the radiator cracked and it now has brand new radiator and coolant. Most of the pics are from last summer, currently it has stock T-5 16" colombias. The 18" S60R wheels DO NOT come with this sale, They have been sold. Its sitting on B&G lowering springs with a decent stance. The mileage is unknown, I purchased it with 192K and broken odometer and replaced the gauges with an s70 cluster. I would guess its mileage is close to 300K. It starts as it should, idles smooth and accelerates hard, plenty of power enough to break tires loose. The Manual swap and exhaust opened this car right up. Not only more powerful in all the right areas, also more efficient and ultimately a real joy to drive. Mods: Lowered B&G springs M56L Manual swap OEM volvo clutch, Still feels new 3" turbo back exhaust, Sounds great 6000K HID's Reverse intercooler piping / Functional but could use work S70 gauge cluster Black/Tan interior 35% tint It kills me to let this car go, I have put a lot of time into it but its time to move on.. With the right amount of work and maintenance this can be an awesome car and can still last a long time. It is drivable but is not inspected so drive away at your own risk or tow. The last few pics are how it currently looks and includes the stock radio with code. Thanks for looking and hopefully you will enjoy this Volvo as much as I have... Cheers |

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
Volvo V70 and XC70 and Ocean Race special editions wash ashore ahead of Geneva
Sat, 22 Feb 2014Volvo will unveil the third in its series of new concepts to the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it will also bring a flotilla of special editions to the Swiss show. The V70 and XC70 are getting limited-edition models called simply Edition, and the V40, V40 Cross Country, V60 and XC60 will have Volvo Ocean Race Editions.
The Edition models outfit the cars with an extra sprinkling of style. The V70 Edition gets high-gloss black trim on the grille, mirror caps, side window frames and tailgate and rides on silver, 17-inch wheels with high-gloss black 17-inch and 18-inch wheels as options. The XC70 Edition adds some gloss black exterior upgrades too, plus high-gloss black, 18-inch diamond-cut wheels. Both models are swathed in black leather upholstery with cream stitching.
The Volvo Ocean Race Editions celebrate the brand's sponsorship of a 38,739-nautical-mile yacht race that will circumnavigate the world from 2014 to 2015. All of them sport the race logo on the tread plates, front fenders, infotainment display on start-up and special seven-spoke wheels. Inside, there is the choice of black or blonde leather seats with orange stitching. The 60-series cars also sport a map of the race route on the rear load cover.
