This Volvo sedan has been in our family since purchased new in 1999. Key features:

1. This car has NEVER seen a Vermont winter; it has lived its entire life in Connecticut and was not driven during Connecticut's rare snow events. Therefore...there is no rust...anywhere.

2. The car has been well cared for with oil and filter changes every 3000 miles.

3. It has never been smoked in.

4. Within the last 3 months the throttle body and front brakes were replaced.

5. When I brought it to VT 2 weeks ago I had our local Volvo certified mechanic inspect it and repair and replace any wear or maintenance items that he identified. Therefore, the car has a brand new timing belt, serpentine belt, left front control arm, right front sway bar link, and new front brake hoses. Spark plugs have been replaced and the right axle seal was leaking so the axle and the boot were replaced. The tires were rotated and the front end aligned. Total receipts in the last 3 months: $2700.00

6. I have the carfax report available for review confirming that this car is as presented.

7. Additional items: Interior shows well except for driver's seat that has separated at the seam. Front tires have 50% tread wear remaining, rear 25%. There are a few scrapes and dings as expected for a car of this age. There were two separate incidents early in the car's ownership both of which occurred when the car was parked (another car backed into it while parking); the driver's side rear door was dented and the right rear quarter panel was dented. Both were repaired professionally and are virtually invisible.

8. All accessories operate as installed; AC blows ice cold, all power windows work, radio plays, and cruise control functions. The engine and transmisson perform flawlessly.

This car should give another 150,000 miles of reliable service assuming normal maintenance.

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 C30 Polestar Concept hits the 'Ring

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

It's been over three years since the Volvo C30 Polestar Concept was unveiled, driven by journalists and, as it turns out, lapped around the Nürburgring with Scandinavian Touring Car Championship driver Robert Dahlgren behind the wheel. For whatever reason, the video of the 'Ring track session was only published by the tuning company yesterday. (Another discrepancy: Did Polestar's C30 lose 46 horsepower somewhere along the line? Because the video states that it has 405 hp, while the company's website quotes 451 hp...)
Whatever the case, the tuned Volvo is a beast, much more so than the similar-looking, 250-hp 2013 Volvo C30 Polestar Limited Edition that was sold last year. With 451 hp (sounds better than 405 hp, doesn't it?), all-wheel drive, limited-slip differentials front and rear and Öhlins dampers, the Polestar Concept checks all of the right boxes for us.
For some reason, the video, which you can watch below, seems a bit vanilla to us. Perhaps the overly dramatic music takes away from the action and the beautiful sounds of the turbocharged five-cylinder engine?

2015 Volvo XC90 is the Swedish future

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

It's been months since the Concept XC Coupe debuted at the Detroit Auto Show, Volvo's last show car previewing its all-new 2015 XC90. But the production model is finally here after years of development, and it signals the future of the Swedish automaker with its Scalable Product Architecture modular platform and cutting-edge new engine family.
The 2015 XC90 carries all-new styling, but is still familiar up front, with the company's logo slashing diagonally through its prominent, upright grille. Like the concept, it carries T-Shaped LED running lights through the headlights. The company calls them the "Thor's Hammer" design, an evocative designation that we think is fantastic. Under that new front end is a choice of two quite powerful, but very efficient powertrains. The standard XC90 gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged engine with all-wheel drive making an impressive 316 horsepower. Or if buyers want to be a little greener and more powerful, there is the XC90 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid with the same engine, albeit augmented with an electric motor to produce a staggering 400 hp.
The exterior styling is crisp, if not quite as sensual as Volvo's latest concepts, but we think the interior is the real star here, with a dashboard that looks like it came out of a Herman Miller catalog and a unique vertically oriented infotainment screen integrated into its center stack, perhaps taking a cue from Tesla. If the cabin feels as good as it looks, we think a lot of sales are going to be won inside.
