94 Volvo 850 Sedan 4 Door 5 Cyl. Manual Stick Shift Very Clean, Carfax on 2040-cars
Harleysville, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I am selling my beloved Volvo 850 sedan. I bought this from the original owner so it's a 2 owner car. It was serviced only at the Volvo dealership (the carfax confirms this), and is a GREAT and RELIABLE car. It has high mileage (342k) but if your familiar with Volvo then you know this thing will run forever
This Volvo is also very safe! Volvo pride's themselves on their safety features This 94 Volvo 850 Sedan has a 5 cylinder, 2.4 liter, 168hp engine and manual transmission BRAND NEW TIRES This vehicle has 342,819 miles and runs like a tank! 18 City, 25 Highway Miles Per Gallon I just had it inspected so the Annual Safety Inspection and Emission Stickers are good through 6/15! This vehicle is in great shape inside and out. No dents or major scratches on the body and the interior is in near perfect condition. Seriously, the guy who owned it before me was a CLEAN FREAK I have purchased a CARFAX on this vehicle and will show it to anyone interested. Routine Maintenance was been kept up such as fluid changes and belt services Recent Repairs Include: -Power Windows -Power Locks -Dual SRS Airbags -Heated Seats -FM/AM and tape cassette (better than a cd play in my opinion because you can get a tape cassette adaptor and not only run a cd player but also your ipod, iphone, or whatever digital device you want -Cruise Control -Large Trunk VEHICLE EXPERT REVIEW By Richard Truett Orlando Sentinel September 8, 1994 I don't like the looks of the Volvo 850 Sportswagon. Then again I can't recall any Volvo - except the classic P1800 - whose looks I have liked. In fact, after testing Volvos on and off for five years, I think I am finally getting the message: Volvos aren't about trendy styling or driving the best-looking machine on your block. Nope. The real beauty of a Volvo can be found underneath the fenders. It's the durability, the ruggedness and the built-in safety features of the machine that make you like it. To dwell on the 850 Sportswagon's dowdy styling and weird taillights is to miss the point. PERFORMANCE The most powerful engine Volvo has ever built rests under the square hood of the Volvo 850 Sportswagon. It's a 222-horsepower, turbocharged, in-line five-cylinder aluminum engine of 2.3 liters. This terrific lightweight engine - which drives the front wheels - delivers the same level of performance you would expect from a small V-8. Smooth is not exactly how I would describe the way this engine runs. Perhaps the odd number of cylinders makes for more vibration than a four- or six-cylinder engine. However, I like the way the five-cylinder engine runs. It feels powerful. And it is. Nowhere in Volvo's press materials are you going to find an official 0-to-60 mph time - after all, Volvo has that safety reputation to protect. But in the pages of enthusiasts magazines such as Road and Track, you'll find that the 850 Sportswagon can reach 60 mph in just 7.4 seconds. That's fast. If you like cars that are quick from a stop, then you will be smitten with this car. Pressing the accelerator hard enough to activate the turbocharger gives the 850 enough power to make it leap into action. A turbocharger, by the way, is a pump driven by exhaust gas. It forces a denser mixture of fuel and air into the engine, which increases power while only marginally affecting fuel mileage. If you drive normally, you won'tuse the turbocharger much, but the device kicks in to make passing power nothing short of excellent. Speaking of fuel mileage, on a 900-mile one-day driving marathon to Pensacola and back, the 850 averaged 24.9 mpg on the road. HANDLING Has any car that ever looked so dull handled so brilliantly? Probably not. The 850 Sportswagon is definitely a street sleeper. The only thing that hints that the 850 is equipped with some serious high-performance hardware are its big 16-inch alloy rims and low-profile tires. You can drive the 850 just as hard and fast as you want. It can handle any curve at any legal speed. That would be a respectable feat for a sedan or sports coupe, but it's almost unheard of for a wagon, especially one not wearing a BMW badge. The ride is firm but not so stiff as to make the car tiresome to drive. It is very quiet on the road and over bumps. Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering allows you to turn a complete circle in a tight 33.5 feet. And the four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes provide excellent stopping power. Our test car came with optional traction control, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I tried it on a dirt road, but with the dash-mounted switch in either position, the front tires still spun. Volvo, which is a newcomer to front-wheel drive cars, really did its homework with the 850. You can't tell the front wheels are driving the car. FIT AND FINISH Even though the interior of the 850 Sportswagon is adorned with wood trim and leather upholstery, it still comes off as being more functional than stylish. The dash is rather square and plain-looking. The analog instruments, with their white letters, black background and orange needles are easy to read but not especially noteworthy. And the switches and buttons all have a somewhat heavy and utilitarian feel to them. Be that as it may, the interior of the 850 is an exceptionally comfortable placet be. I know; I spent 15 hours - 10 straight - behind the wheel. The heavily padded front bucket seats are just terrific. You don't just sit on them, you sit in them. You sink slightly in and then the seat firms up and holds you in place. The high head restraints look a bit awkward, but I can't recall a test vehicle that I felt protected my head and neck - and those of my passenger - better. More than any car I can remember, the seats in the 850 give you a feeling of security. Even though the 850 Sportswagon is a mid-sized car, it is an extremely well packaged vehicle, so it feels more like a large car. There is an abundant amount of head and leg room front and rear. The rear seats split and fold forward to allow for odd-size parcels to be stowed in the rear cargo area. Our test car came with a built-in child safety seat and practically every power accessory you could want, including a power sunroof. All in all, the Volvo 850 Sportswagon is right up there with the Oldsmobile Aurora and Saab 900 S as one of the best vehicles I've tested this year. Specifications: 1994 Volvo 850 Sportswagon Base price: $31,735 EPA rating: 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway Price as tested: $33,790 Incentives: None Truett's tip: The 850 Sportswagon is the ideal vehicle for young families. It's a car that can haul the kids as well as be driven fast and hard like a sports coupe. It just may be Volvo's best car. |

Sunday Drive: And now for something completely different
Sun, Dec 17 2017This past week played host to a wide assortment of automotive news, highlighted by our first drive of the 2018 Volvo XC40. The Swedish crossover is targeted at young, successful Millennials, but it offers cool styling, fun dynamics, and all of today's must-have technology, so we think it ought to appeal to a much wider swath of the automotive marketplace. From there we answer the question, "What are hard on the outside and soft on the inside?" as we take a look at the next Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. We expect the German automaker's flagship luxury SUV to remain boxy on the outside, but the interior is going to be soft, supple, and luxurious. And then there's the Honda Clarity Plug-in Hybrid, which starts at starts at $34,290 and boasts 212 total system horsepower, 232 pound-feet of torque, 47 miles of electric driving range, and a total range of 340 miles. EPA rates it at 110 MPGe in EV mode, and 44 city/40 highway/42 combined overall. We compare it to other plug-ins like the Chevy Volt and Toyota Prius Prime. And finally we have some more spy photos of the 2019 Ram 1500. It doesn't have a traditional crosshair grille, but it's got plenty of chrome and an attractive upright stance that's sure to tempt future truck buyers looking for some sophistication to go with their work gloves.

The next-generation wearable will be your car
Fri, Jan 8 2016This year's CES has had a heavy emphasis on the class of device known as the "wearable" – think about the Apple Watch, or Fitbit, if that's helpful. These devices usually piggyback off of a smartphone's hardware or some other data connection and utilize various onboard sensors and feedback devices to interact with the wearer. In the case of the Fitbit, it's health tracking through sensors that monitor your pulse and movement; for the Apple Watch and similar devices, it's all that and some more. Manufacturers seem to be developing a consensus that vehicles should be taking on some of a wearable's functionality. As evidenced by Volvo's newly announced tie-up with the Microsoft Band 2 fitness tracking wearable, car manufacturers are starting to explore how wearable devices will help drivers. The On Call app brings voice commands, spoken into the Band 2, into the mix. It'll allow you to pass an address from your smartphone's agenda right to your Volvo's nav system, or to preheat your car. Eventually, Volvo would like your car to learn things about your routines, and communicate back to you – or even, improvise to help you wake up earlier to avoid that traffic that might make you late. Do you need to buy a device, like the $249 Band 2, and always wear it to have these sorts of interactions with your car? Despite the emphasis on wearables, CES 2016 has also given us a glimmer of a vehicle future that cuts out the wearable middleman entirely. Take Audi's new Fit Driver project. The goal is to reduce driver stress levels, prevent driver fatigue, and provide a relaxing interior environment by adjusting cabin elements like seat massage, climate control, and even the interior lighting. While it focuses on a wearable device to monitor heart rate and skin temperature, the Audi itself will use on-board sensors to examine driving style and breathing rate as well as external conditions – the weather, traffic, that sort of thing. Could the seats measure skin temperature? Could the seatbelt measure heart rate? Seems like Audi might not need the wearable at all – the car's already doing most of the work. Whether there's a device on a driver's wrist or not, manufacturers seem to be developing a consensus that vehicles should be taking on some of a wearable's functionality.
Volvo Concept XC Coupe does the full monte ahead of Detroit debut [w/video]
Wed, 08 Jan 2014When the doors open at the Cobo Center next week for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, Volvo will lift the veil on its new Concept XC Coupe. But you don't have to even wait that long. A set of images leaked out yesterday to accompany a teaser video released by Volvo, but now the Swedish automaker has revealed the full thing.
The second of three new concept cars aiming to show the way forward for the brand, the Concept XC Coupe follows the Concept Coupe revealed last September. Based on Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture, the Concept XC Coupe is expected to preview the next-generation XC90 crossover, but with two fewer doors and a four-seat cabin.
With orange details, matte rubber moldings and underbody skid plates, the design is said to have been inspired by outdoor equipment manufacturer POC - naturally also based in Sweden - whose products are favored by extreme athletes around the world. It rides on 21-inch wheels and incorporates T-shaped DRL headlights, with distinctive tail-lights earmarked to make their way onto the next generation of production Volvos.
