2000 Volvo V40 Wagon Wow!! 4 Cyl Turbo L@@ks Runs Drives Gr8 I Bet You Buy This! on 2040-cars
Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States
hi and thnx. ok, ok... I do happen to like Volvos. we have had 240's, 850's, a V70 or two, and yes... I had an S80 sedan for 3 years, loved it. but, hey... this smaller version of the V70 is like a pleasant surprise !! it is 85% in size, of my old V70 1998 wagon, the same engine (less one cylinder, total 4 here) and it DOES have the cool turbo assist. guess what? this car is a winner. I like the slightly more trim size for me and my family, the economy is better and should approach 30 MPG, the turbo works like a dream and gives you bigger car oomph and great, solid performance.
you really do know, right away, that you are in a semi-premium European car with an excellent engine, great power to weight, FWD and classy lines. what is wrong with that? just because you want a great car cheap on eBay (and I want to sell), no shame to your game here ~!~ fine, tough and strong VOLVO build quality, nice package, great ride and full comfort with great features. drive safe and sound; around town or blasting down the highway on a commute or weekend romp... this car does it all in fine fashion, look great, drive smart and enjoy the ride !@!
bright and shiny paint and panels, leather, power seats, stereo, cold a/c, great heat, power locks, ABS, airbags, moon-roof, correct factory alloy wheels, 4 wheel disc brakes, low-boost turbo ( power and economy ), like new rubber, full gauges, power windows, mirrors, cruise and more. all full function and the car runs great.
but, this is an older car and not perfect. drivers seats has some split stitching (still comfy), there may be a small bump or scuff, factory mats are missing, no cargo cover that I see. please see all photos, I took all the good and bad shots I could. near ding, dent and scratch free, this svelte black wagon looks and rides fine. no rust, no damage, nothing broke or busted.
car is as shown and at my house. why not bid, buy and drive it to your home?? stop by anytime, or just call and email... happy to help ~!~

Volvo uncovers widespread cheating by its Chinese dealers
Tue, 26 Mar 2013According to a report in Reuters, the findings of an internal investigation conducted by Geely-owned Volvo is that its Chinese dealers vastly overreported their sales numbers in 2011, then even more vastly underreported their 2012 sales figures. About "half the dealers" out of the 151 total outlets gamed the system in order to get incentives for reaching volume objectives, falsely recording about 7,000 more units sold than was actually the case. Instead of 47,140 cars sold in China in 2011, the real number should have been 39,871.
Volvo corporate books a sale once it ships a car to a dealer, so that meant there were 7,000 more cars in inventory than there should have been. To restore the balance, the dealers underreported their 2012 sales while they unloaded those extra cars since, naturally, they couldn't claim the sale again. That made it look like sales declined by 11 percent in 2012, even though they actually increased year-on-year. The adjusted sales number for 2012 totalled 45,896.
Volvo has met with its dealers and told them to stop the deceitful practice. The discrepancies weren't so great that the company plans to restate its historic numbers, but from now on, it apparently plans to occasionally check inventory to make sure the numbers match and that it has a true picture of how individual models are selling.
Daimler, Geely mull China as production hub for hybrid powertrains
Sun, Nov 22 2020FRANKFURT — Daimler and Geely on Friday said China could emerge as a manufacturing and export hub for hybrid powertrains jointly developed for Volvo and Mercedes-Benz cars. Earlier this week, Daimler said it would cooperate with China's Geely to build next-generation combustion engines for use in hybrid vehicles. The engines will be produced in China as well as in Europe, and Geely and Daimler will cooperate in engineering, sourcing and production, the companies said in a joint press release. "The export of the engine from China is considered to be an option," the release further said. Mercedes-Benz aims for more than half of its passenger car sales to be comprised of plug-in hybrids or purely electric vehicles by 2030. Geely is ChinaÂ’s most internationally known automaker. It owns Volvo Cars and Lotus, almost half of Proton and 9.7% of Daimler. Through wholly owned company Polestar, it builds low-volume Polestar 1 hybrid performance cars in the western city of Chengdu and Polestar 2 volume sedans in Taizhou in the east. "The companies plan to develop a highly efficient modular engine," a spokesman for Daimler said, adding that it would be used in hybrid drivetrains and manufactured in Europe and China. The modular engine will be used in cars under different marques at Geely and Daimler, a person familiar with the matter said on condition of anonymity as the companies are still in the early stages of developing the engine. An Conghui, President of Geely Holding Group, President and CEO of Geely Auto Group said: “This project reflects the need for economies of scale and targeted research and development investment in clean and highly efficient powertrains and hybrid drive systems and their applications." Geely also plans to build a plant with annual manufacturing capacity of 30,000 premium EVs in the western city of Chongqing, run by a wholly owned, newly registered company, according to documents on its website. Geely and Polestar declined to comment. The plan comes as foreign automakers including BMW AG and Tesla expand EV production in the worldÂ’s biggest market, sourcing major EV components such as batteries locally and often even exporting a portion of the vehicles it builds.  Auto News Earnings/Financials Green Plants/Manufacturing Mercedes-Benz Volvo Green Automakers Future Vehicles Hybrid
Irv Gordon's Volvo P1800 has reached 3 million miles
Wed, 18 Sep 2013While we were seated at our desks like good worker bees yesterday, Irv Gordon was continuing his assault on the record books. Gordon, if you recall, is the original owner of a red 1966 Volvo P1800 (owner and car shown above), and yesterday, Volvo says the coupe's odometer clocked its three-millionth mile. The miracle mile occurred on the Seward Highway in Alaska, one of only two states that Gordon had never visited.
It took the New York native more than 20 years to hit his first million miles in 1987 and another 15 years to achieve two million miles in 2002, but a road trip to Alaska will further cement his place in the record books as the car surpasses three million miles. Gordon has almost doubled the 1.69-million mile distance that helped him win a Guinness Book of World Records title for the most miles logged on an originally owned car, and this new momentous distance proves the durability of both man and machine. For more information on Gordon's feat, scroll down for a Volvo press release or check out a website set up to celebrate his latest milestone.
