CAR HAS PLENTY OF POWER, PULLS STRONG AND DRIVES LIKE NEW. A WELL TAKEN CARE OF SUNNY FLORIDA CAR!!!!!!

I‘VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF OWNING 3 PARTICULAR VOLVO’S DURING MY LIFE AND ALL WERE FACTORY TRUE “R” CARS…….  INCLUDING A 1995 850 T5-R, LATER ON A 1997 850-R, AND CURRENTLY WHAT YOU SEE HERE A 2006 S60-R. DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE NEWER VOLVO LINEUP OF “R-DESIGN” MODELS. THEY ARE BASICALLY JUST AESTHETICS ADD ONS AND NOTHING MORE. –THAT’S MY OPINION!

I REALLY HATE TO SELL THIS EXCLUSIVE CAR, BUT THE ONLY REASON FOR MOVING-ON IS THAT I NEEDED MORE REAR CARGO ROOM. UNFORTUNATELY, VOLVO HAS NOT ANSWERED THE CALLING FOR A TRUE “R” SUV, SO IN THE INTERIM, I MOVED ON AND PURCHASED A BMW X5-“M” SUV THIS WEEK.

THE S60-R HAS APPROXIMATELY 74,500 MILES AND REQUIRES NOTHING MORE THAN A NEW DRIVER AND NICE RADAR DETECTOR!  AGAIN, IT DRIVES PERFECT, PULLS STRONG, LOOKS GREAT, AND TURNS HEADS FOR A SECOND LOOK. PLEASE DO KEEP IN MIND THAT IT IS AN 8 YEAR OLD CAR AND IS DRIVEN DAILY SO WEAR AND TEAR SHOULD BE EXPECTED.  HOPEFULLY A VOLVO ENTHUSIAST OUT THERE CAN ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I HAVE.

A FEW THINGS TO NOTE:  EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE A CHECK MESSAGE ON THE DASH APPEARS FOR THE ACTIVE SUSPENSION. I HAVE HAD MY VOLVO DEALER CHECK IT OUT AND THE MASTER TECH WHO WORKS ON MY CAR RAN A COMPLETE “VIDA” DIAGNOSTIC AS WELL AS PERFORMED A “S.U.M” RECALIBRATION (VOLVOS OWN SOFTWARE MODULE). IT BASICALLY INDICATED THAT A RANDOM LOW VOLTAGE SIGNAL READING WAS APPEARING ON AND OFF ON THE LEFT FRONT DRIVERS SHOCK ABSORBER. I WAS TOLD BY THE MASTER TECH, WHO ALSO OWNS AN S60-R, THAT IF IT CONTINUES TO DRIVE AND FUNCTON LIKE NORMAL, THEN  NOT TO BOTHER WITH IT UNTIL LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD. FROM WHAT HE TOLD ME AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AMONG MANY S60R OWNERS. NEVERTHELESS, I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR FOR WELL OVER 5,000 PLUS MILES SINCE THEN AND THE SUSPENSION STILL FUNCTIONS AND DRIVES LIKE NORMAL EVEN THOUGH THE MESSAGE POPS UP ON THE DASH EVERY NOW AND THEN.  

LASTLY, ONE COSMETIC ISSUE TO NOTE IS THAT THE LOWER BOTTOM PORTION OF THE FRONT BUMPER HAS A 2-3 INCH CRACK IN THE PLASTIC UNDERSIDE WHICH IS NOT VERY NOTICABLE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS WAS CAUSED BY MY OWN FAULT WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT LATE ONE EVENING. AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THE CAR SITS RATHER LOW TO THE GROUND, AND UNFORTUNATLY THE LOWER FRONT BUMPER COVER WENT OVER A BROKEN PARKING STOP AND SNAGGED ON IT WHEN REVERSE OUT. SINCE THEN, I HAVE LEFT IT ALONE AND IT’S NOT THAT NOTICABLE UNLESS YOU LAY DOWN IN FRONT OF THE BUMPER AND LOOK UP UNDER THE COVER.

OVERALL THE CAR IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY. ALL BOOKS AND MANUALS AND ONE KEY ARE INCLUDED.   I HAVE A CLEAN FLORIDA TITLE IN HAND AND IS READY FOR TRANSFER TO A NEW OWNER.

THE CAR IS ALSO FOR SALE LOCALLY SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION AT ANY TIME. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OR ALL PICK-UPS. WINNING BIDDER MUST COMPLETE TRANSACTION AND TAKE POSSESSION OF CAR WITHIN 5 DAYS. THE CAR IS BEING SOLD AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTY. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THAT I DRIVE THIS CAR DAILY SO MILEAGE MAY VARY. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND AS ALWAYS, PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE AS I HAVE A PERFECT FEEDBACK SCORE AND BELIEVE IN HONESTY AND FAIRNESS. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK!

Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move

Tue, Dec 6 2016

With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.

Autoblog's June 2019 Editors' Picks

Wed, Jul 10 2019

Each year we review, test and rate hundreds of brand-new cars, trucks and SUVs. We rate these vehicles using the Autoblog score, giving a select few our Editors’ Pick. Here are the best cars we drove in June 2019. 2019 BMW 8 Series Everyone on the Autoblog staff loves a good grand tourer, so we were excited to get behind the wheel of the revived BMW 8 Series, specifically an M850i Coupe. A good GT needs to be as fast as it is stylish and comfortable, and the new 8 Series delivers. We particularly like the 523-horsepower twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8Â’s copious power and smooth ride quality, even on MichiganÂ’s pockmarked post-winter roads. We dig the interior design, too, though not everyone was in love with the exterior. ItÂ’s not the best-handling car in its class, and doesnÂ’t hide its sizable proportions very well, but itÂ’s still worth a look if youÂ’re looking for a big, fast cruiser.  2019 Ford Expedition Crossovers may be the hottest vehicles on the market, but thereÂ’s still a sizable demand for traditional body-on-frame SUVs like the Ford Expedition. These behemoths offer plenty of space in addition to truck-like capability. We like the Expedition's smooth ride, powerful twin-turbo V6 and sharp exterior design, though the interior can feel a bit cheap, especially on some of the more expensive trims. Adding options quickly puts it into Lincoln Navigator territory, and itÂ’s hard to recommend the Ford over the Lincoln when the latter packs the same capability into a far nicer package. Still, the Expedition is as good or better than the competition in most respects, and thatÂ’s why itÂ’s one of our picks. 2019 Toyota 86 Few cars at any price point are as much fun as the Toyota 86 (and its twin, the Subaru BRZ). We like the 86Â’s balanced chassis and sharp steering, and while itÂ’s not as nimble as its close rival the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the ToyotaÂ’s back seat and trunk make it a more usable vehicle. But while we like the 86Â’s driving position, the rest of the interior feels cheap and dated, especially the infotainment system. We complained about the anemic powertrain back in 2012, and itÂ’s only gotten worse as the years have gone by.

Volvo celebrates 20 years of sleeper wagons with 850 T-5R and V60 Polestar

Mon, 10 Nov 2014

I must have been around Bar Mitzvah age when I was in the back of my parents' car on the highway as we passed a truck full of Volvo 850 T-5R wagons - half of them in black, half in banana yellow. It was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen: a whole gaggle of sleeper power wagons that were infinitely cooler than whatever minivan we were riding in. Hard to believe that was 20 years ago, but it was. And Polestar is understandably keen to mark the anniversary of the first overt Volvo performance wagon.
While Volvo's racing partner hasn't released some commemorative edition to celebrate that prototypical sleeper, it has shot a special batch of photos of the T-5R (based on the 850 wagon internally known as the 855 for its five doors) alongside its modern successor, the V60 Polestar. The images shot in Huntington Beach, CA, only go to show how much has changed in the two decades that separate them.
Whereas this front-drive T-5R packed a turbocharged inline-five driving 240 horsepower through a four-speed automatic propel the yellow box to 62 in 7.0 seconds, the turbo six in the svelter, Rebel Blue-clad 2015 V60 Polestar churns out 350 hp to all four wheels through a six-speed auto for a 4.9-second sprint. That's the kind of progress we can get behind. In fact, it's the sort of progress that everyone can get behind, really, because chances are whatever you're driving will probably have a hard time keeping up.
