This is my Volvo which we have owned for the past eight years. I have 3 other Volvos mainly XC's so this is what we all drive in our family, mainly because of the safety aspect as there is no safer vehicle period. These Cross Countrys are very versatile. Since I have owned 18 Volvos in the past 30 years, I understand them and know how to have them serviced and take care of them. This vehicle was broken in 8 years ago with Mobil 1 full synthetic oil and has used nothing else since. The engine is incredibly strong, and incredible fast since it is a very active turbo. Too fast for my taste. It has relatively low miles for it's age, only 123,302. Being a highly rated seller for over 10 years on EBAY, my customers have learned that what I say you can fully take as truth and my descriptions are dead accurate. If there is something wrong, I will tell you. Also what is good, as there is more good than bad on this vehicle. I will give you exactly what I describe and you make the choice. This is an unusual case. The vehicle drives beautifully. However, it will not go in reverse. I took it to the Volvo franchise and they told me it was not a gear, but rather some internal issue like a clutch or something. I do not understand transmissions other than which gear to put it in. I believe this car could be driven straight to CA from Wisconsin where it is at, as long as you don't have to back up. Really a shame. The interior is jet black leather although the pics look grey. It is solid black and is in very good condition. Only the drivers seat shows the typical Volvo wear on the left side of the seat. The car is very clean inside, and the dashboard is about as perfect as an 14 year old car is. Air conditioning, air bags, brakes, heater, all work just as they should and air is ice cold. NO leaks. Tires are very good. The engine, is extremely strong and runs exactly the way it should run, no missing, etc. The ABS light is on along with the Tracks, which simply means the module needs to be rebuilt, which they do on EBAY for around $80 exchange. I have done it to about half of my former Volvo's. The body is in very good condition also EXCEPT around the front passenger side where the molding has pulled away from the body some. Please see the picture. The sunroof is clear and beautiful with no leakage. The rubber weather stripping around the front doors could use replacing however. The wood trim on the dash is elegant. The passenger side has a number of scratches which is probably a little more than normal, but not too bad. The driver side is much better. The paint all away around is very very good. The car starts up exactly as it should and the battery is excellent. Engine idles very smoothly and stay perfectly on the tach level. All power windows and power driver's seat works fine. All gauges work. Radio works. The check engine light is on for the ABS module. All airbags are in proper condition. Just the transmission, again, no issues whatsoever as long as you have it in park or drive, as it will drive flawlessly. Nice original Volvo wheels. The car has Oregon plates and will come with a clean Oregon title. This is not a flood car, salvage, or anything like that. No liens, as we have owned it outright for almost 8 years and have driven it every day. Safe, comfortable, nice-looking, versatile. Just you will have to have the expertise to do something about the transmission. I'd suggest picking up a used one and having it installed. We don't because we plan to move in the next few months out of State and we need to narrow down the # of Volvos we have now so this is an opportunity for us to do so. You can pick up a pretty nice Volvo XC for it's age if you know how to get it fixed because you are getting very strong structure and components that are all working except as listed above. The engine and wheels alone are worth as much if not probably more than the price range I expect it to go for. And if you can function without reverse, then you have yourself a steal. I keep these vehicles meticulously maintained, with proper oil changes, timing belts, brakes. The glass is all perfect, as is the lights and signal lamps. Gets very good gas mileage also as these XC's are economical. The vehicle also has a roof rack which is worth a lot. The pictures are fair, not great, so I apologize. The car is strong and not trashed or falling apart. The passenger door is a little hard to shut so you have to close it with some power. There are no water or oil leaks. I fully believe whomever wins the bidding on this, which is a no reserve auction, could drive this to where in the US they want realizing it cannot drive in reverse. So, the vehicle will be sold-as, where is, as most all EBAY vehicles are sold as. The vehicle is in Madison, Wisconsin. I will be available should you wish to have it picked up and will give it to the authorized party of your choice. BY bidding on this vehicle, you agree that you understand this is sold as-is and you understand the defects that I have listed above, as I do not like any misunderstandings, and that the car must have a $100 deposit by PayPal within 24 hours, and the balance must be paid with 5 days. I can keep the vehicle here for longer but it must be paid for completely within the five days.

2023 Volvo S60 and V60 get small updates
Mon, Mar 14 2022The Volvo S60 sedan and V60 wagon have been updated for the 2023 model year, their mid-life refresh. We don't know the specifics of how our U.S.-market models will be updated, a Volvo spokesperson telling Car and Driver that information comes this spring. We can look to Europe for the broad strokes, however, and it appears we won't have to look too long nor too hard. The S60 sedan hasn't changed in front, whereas the V60 gets a revised lower front fascia with slightly wider intakes accented by blades of chrome garnish, and a center intake that's a wee bit taller than on the current model. In back, both cars hide their tailpipes. There will be at least one new wheel option as well, six-spoke jobs cribbing from the aero rims designed for the XC40 Recharge. And that's all we have to say about that. Inside, Google's Android Automotive infotainment software continues its propagation throughout the Volvo lineup, bringing the same functionality to the 9-inch display that we've sampled in a few other Swedish offerings so far.  We only get the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the United States, aided by 48-volt mild-hybrid (an update for 2022) or plug-in-hybrid electrical assistance depending on trim for the S60, while the V60 wagon — not the lifted V60 Cross Country — is only sold as the Recharge Polestar Engineered in the United States. Don't expect any deviations on the ICE side, but the PHEV trims benefit from a larger battery and more powerful motor. In Europe, the B3 and B4 trims will enjoy a new seven-speed dual-clutch. We don't expect that gearbox to be headed our way. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Volvo and Ericsson to take Spotify on the road
Thu, 27 Dec 2012Volvo is working to bring Spotify to its vehicles. Ericsson has announced it will provide its Connected Vehicle Cloud service to Volvo for future products, and Spotify streaming music is part of that service. Like Toyota Entune and other infotainment services, the Connected Vehicle Cloud will use the driver's smartphone as a modem to stream music and serve as a base for other applications, all of which will be controllable through the vehicle interface. Expect to see the service launch in 2014, though Ericsson stresses later generations will feature an embedded modem with its own SIM card that will piggyback off of the owner's phone data plan.
But that system won't show up in production vehicles until at least 2016. In the interim, Ericsson says it will continue to work with government agencies on its car-to-car communication efforts. That program could eventually help pave the way toward autonomous road trains capable of helping vehicles travel safely together while also reducing traffic congestion. Wired has a full break down of the Connected Vehicle Cloud strategy. You can read it here.
Regulators consider adding more carmakers to Takata recall
Tue, Sep 29 2015Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has been getting a lot of press recently, but the Takata airbag inflator affair could be grabbing headlines again soon. According to Bloomberg, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is contemplating an expansion to the campaign that could add seven automakers to the 12 already affected. They are Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Spartan Motors, Suzuki, Tesla, Volvo Trucks, and VW Group. To be clear, there's no recall for any of these automakers, yet. The government is simply asking for a full list of vehicles that each of them have with Takata-supplied inflators containing ammonium nitrate propellant. The agency is concerned this substance could play a roll in the ruptures. "NHTSA is considering not only whether to issue an administrative order that would coordinate the remedy programs associated with the current Takata recalls, but also whether such an order should include expansion of the current recalls," the letters say. All seven can be viewed, here. From a report supplied by Takata, the government already knows that the company supplied 887,055 inflators with ammonium-nitrate propellant to VW and 184,926 of them to Tesla. In an incident during the summer, a side airbag allegedly burst in a 2015 VW Tiguan. In early September, NHTSA put out a revised report that there were 23.4 million inflators to be replaced in 19.2 million vehicles in the US. An earlier accounting from the agency had about 34 million of the parts in 30 million cars. High humidity is still believed to be among the biggest risk factors for the ruptures. Although, if ammonium nitrate also gets the blame, some already recalled models might need to be repaired again. Related Video:
