1998 Volvo S90 Sedan, 4-door, 2.9l 6 Cyl, Automatic, Silver (960) Nice! on 2040-cars

Year:1998 Mileage:166530
Location:

Frazeysburg, Ohio, United States

Frazeysburg, Ohio, United States

Up for bidding is my 1998 Volvo S90 sedan in silver. Arguably one of the best Volvo models ever made, this was the last model year for this series.

This one’s clock is at just under 167k original, actual miles. With the 2.9L bulletproof straight 6 engine, it’s barely broken in! The previous owner's parents bought it certified pre-owned from MAG Volvo in Dublin, Ohio, then later passed it on to him and his wife who recently downgraded to a minivan due to kids. That makes it over a decade of staying within one family.

Options on this vehicle: premium sound system (AM/FM/CD/Cassette), full gray leather interior, power sunroof, front + side airbags, power windows/seats/locks/mirrors, cruise, alloy wheels, ABS, winter and sport transmission modes, and much, much more.

Clean, above average condition overall- body and undercarriage is clean and the original paint shines up nice. Very small rust spot above rear passenger wheel, other than that is rust free! Leather interior is in good shape.

Cruise, sunroof, power windows, lights, switches, etc. all work perfect. Runs great, rides smooth and drives straight down the road, exhaust is quiet, no leaks or weird noises. Automatic transmission shifts smoothly. No warning lights on! A/C blows ice cold- summer is around the corner!  Two things that aren't working: heated seats and outdoor temperature display (shows -188°.) Keep in mind this is a used car and has a scratch or ding here and there which you can see in the pictures- having said that, this car is mechanically and cosmetically in nice shape for its age!

New tires and newer battery are installed. New lower ball joints and alignment. Oil freshly changed with Valvoline Maxlife synthetic blend 10w30. Timing belt and water pump were done at 140k. Brakes have plenty of meat left on them and stop the car well. Suspension handles fantastic, especially on curvy roads with the rear wheel drive. I have been driving this car regularly for the past few weeks just to make sure there is nothing else that needs attention, and she has performed great! Original manuals, radio code and both sets of keys included- good to go for its new driver!

I have attached 46 pictures in an imgur album. If you would like a picture of something more up close, feel free to ask and I’ll take it for you. Pictures here: http://imgur.com/a/RBdKq

This vehicle is located in Central Ohio just east of Columbus. If you’d like to come take a look at it or bring your mechanic before bidding, please feel free to give me a call! My # is 7 four zero - 6 one zero - zero zero 2 three. Please complete all inspections BEFORE bidding, as if you are the winning bidder, you’ve bought the car. Thanks!

If you are the winning bidder, congratulations, this Volvo is yours! Please send a $250 nonrefundable deposit via PayPal within 48 hours, with the remainder due via cash or direct bank wire transfer within 14 days. Can arrange to ship or pick you up at CMH airport if needed. I may also be able to deliver depending on the circumstances. I am a private owner and not a dealer like many sellers here on eBay, so there will be no surprise doc fees.

Thanks for looking!

 

ATTENTION BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN 5 FEEDBACK: Please give me a call before putting in a bid on the car so that I know you are serious.  If you fail to do this I will unfortunately have to cancel your bid. I appreciate everyone’s understanding. Thank you!

Volvo building new AstaZero safety proving ground in Sweden

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Volvo is an automaker committed to vehicle safety, setting an ambitious target for itself: by 2020, the Swedish automaker envisions that no one will be killed or seriously injured in one of its cars. In order to achieve that goal, Volvo has announced a new proving ground designed specifically to test safety solutions.
Called AstaZero, the new facility near the company's headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, is the result of a $70 million investment. It will cover some 500 acres, with over 60 acres of pavement, four city blocks and three and a half miles of highway. The Active Safety Test Area (the ASTA in AstaZero) will enable Volvo and its partners (including Scania trucks as well as government bodies and university development programs) to simulate city streets, highways, rural roads, roundabouts, T-junctions and more, combining traffic from cars, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, trucks and even animals in order to account for all manner of potential hazards.
The facility will enable Volvo to test active safety systems and autonomous vehicle operations, and even allow robots to test its prototypes in an adaptive environment that aims to be more flexible than existing proving grounds. Read more about Volvo's commitment to safety in the press release below.

Volvo XC90 R-Design adds a dash of sport

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

The 2015 Volvo XC90 is a huge leap forward for the Swedish automaker as its first all-new model since leaving Ford ownership. There's a lot riding on the crossover's success, too, because its platform is supposed to underpin Volvo vehicles for years to come. The latest move for the new CUV is adding a little aggressiveness to the look with the R-Design trim for buyers desiring a sportier-looking Swede.
The R-Design joins the already announced Momentum and Inscription trims. Mechanically it doesn't change anything, but ticking the box for the R-Design adds a slightly different grille with horizontal slats, a redesigned lower air dam, new window trim, matte silver side-mirror covers and rectangular exhaust nestled in an altered lower rear bumper. The sportier XC90 comes standard with 20-inch wheels, but a 22-inch design is optional, as well.
The meaner look is carried inside with sport seats covered in Nubuck and Nappa leather, a perforated leather steering wheel and R-Design trim for the gearshift, pedals, floor mats and illuminated tread plates. The touchscreen infotainment system also gets an R-Design theme.

Big rig gets blown over on Wyoming freeway, flattens police cruiser

Sun, Feb 12 2017

A big rig navigating a stretch of windy Wyoming highway last week was blown over by high winds and landed on a Wyoming Highway Patrol cruiser. According to CBS News, three Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers responded to an accident along Interstate 80 near Elk Mountain on February 7. While the troopers were out of their cars assisting the crash victims, a white Volvo semi-truck lumbered up I-80 toward them. Wind gusts in that part of Wyoming were clocked in at up to 90 miles per hour on Tuesday, and one of them caught the semi as it neared the parked cruisers. Video from one of the cruiser's onboard cameras showed the big rig drift to the right as a big gust hit the trailer. Slowly, the whole rig tipped over and flattened one of the parked cruisers. The truck then slid a few feet on its side and came to a stop just aft of the cruiser. None of the troopers were injured in the incident, and two people in the truck came out of it unhurt as well. Patrol Lieutenant David Wagener told KGWN that that stretch of I-80 was closed on Tuesday to lightweight, high-profile vehicles. The truck driver was cited for the incident. High winds are no joke, and vehicles getting blown around or even clean off the road is a pretty common phenomenon. Way back in 2011, a truck got blown over in Utah. Then there was a train that got blown off a bridge in Louisiana in 2015.
