This auction is for a 2003 Volvo S80 T6.  It is a 6 cyl, twin turbo with an automatic transmission that also has the option to shift gears manually.  I have owned 4 of these and the motors have alway run great well over the 200K mile mark.  The transmissions are usually a little less flawless but they seem to keep going and going.  One example was my 2000 - the transmission started shifting rough once in a while around 70K miles and it finally went out on that car at 227K miles.  This car is in real nice shape inside and out for a ten year old car.  The pictures show the condition well.  I got it for my son and he's used it for the past few months and drives it back and forth to a local job as well as a local college.  We put new floor mats, center console cover and battery in when we got it and went over the car real well.  It has been very reliable.  The car does have some minor issues but nothing I think is major.

Every now and then it runs rough for 20 or 30 seconds when you first start it and that has set the check engine light off twice.  The local autozone reset the light and it showed an oxygen sensor code.  My experience with these cars tells me it's likely one of the coils starting to get weak.

It also occasionally can't decide if it wants to shift into 4th or stay in 3rd gear and my son just uses the shifter to shift it into 4th.  ZThis has happened about 4 times over the past three months.

The front tires look good but the back tires have some dry rot cracks on them.  We've never had to put air in them but I would recommend replacing them.  They also have a VERY aggressive tread to them and are noisy when you're driving.

There is only one key to the car and no remotes. My son decided he wanted an old Honda Civic instead of the S80 so this car has to go.  This is a no-reserve auction so bid to win and ask all questions prior to bidding.  I'll be away from Thursday through Sunday and will answer questions if I can get near a computer.  Thanks for looking.

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.

Volvo shuts down Gothenburg plant due to chip shortage

Wed, Aug 11 2021

STOCKHOLM — Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holding, will temporarily stop production at its Swedish plant in Gothenburg due to the shortage of semiconductor chips, it said on Wednesday. A global chip shortage has hit manufacturing, with automakers cutting down on production and electronic device makers struggling to keep up with a pandemic-led surge in demand for phones, TVs and gaming consoles. "Production at Torslanda will be paused temporarily from this evening due to a material shortage linked with the semiconductor issue," Volvo Cars said in an emailed statement. "Production will restart as soon as possible, at the latest before next week," the Swedish carmaker, which in June halted production at its Belgian plant in Ghent for a week, said. Volvo Cars, which last month reported a return to profit in the first half as demand for electric cars grows, is considering listing on the Nasdaq Stockholm stock exchange this year.

Volvo EX90 will be the XC90's all-electric successor

Thu, Sep 22 2022

Clarification: Volvo reached out to clarify that the EX90 will be "our new flagship sold alongside XC90 for the foreseeable future" — more of a "successor" than a "replacement." The story has been updated to clarify.     Volvo has announced what we've long suspected. The XC90's successor as the Volvo flagship will be an all-electric crossover. Its name, as officially stated by Volvo, will be EX90, rather than the previously thought EXC90 or even more evocative Embla, and it will be sold alongside the XC90 for a time The primary philosophy of the new flagship, the company says, will be that old Volvo calling card: safety. The automaker promised in a statement that "standard safety in the EX90 will be beyond that of any Volvo before it." They are also reiterating that they're working to be a 100% crash-less and 100% carbon-neutral company. Volvo says the EX90 will cruise down the road with an "invisible shield" of cameras, radar and lidar sensors. They will work in unison to create a "360-degree real-time view of the world," a description that sounds like Tesla's not-quite FSD visualizations that show 3D representations of lanes and traffic movements on the center screen. Volvo says over time the software can reduce serious injury and fatal accidents by 20% and overall crash avoidance by 9%. The software is made to share data from the entire fleet similarly equipped Volvos, learning as it goes.  Inside, the car will monitor driver alertness with algorithms that track eye gaze and focus. Volvo claims the programming is "beyond what has been possible in a Volvo car to date." If the system detects distraction it will respond with increasing levels of assertiveness, starting with "softly nudging". However if the driver falls completely unconscious it's designed to safely pull over and call for help, in what sounds similar to Mazda's Co-Pilot feature or VW's Emergency Assist 2.0. Volvo has not revealed specs or the actual design of the EX90. We suspect it will be based on last year's Volvo Concept Recharge, though it could also look like the unearthed patent images from last month. The Volvo EX90 will be revealed in full on November 9.
