Welcome to my no reserve auction for my 2001 Volvo V70 XC. I've had this car for about a year and bought it to repair and use as my main car. I'm having a baby which has changed my time and financial priorities away from this vehicle, so now it's for sale. Most of the nice features are functional, aside from those listed. The AC blows cold, heater is warm. The bulbs in the headlight control panel and climate control unit were replaced with blue and/or red LED bulbs. I believe this was tastefully done and does not take away from the driving experience. Heated/power seats work great. Dual climate control is awesome. Power windows work with auto up/down functioning appropriately. The floor mats are aftermarket but look good. There is also a matching mat for the rear hatch compartment, which is in the pictures. The rear seats can fold completely flat. Also included is the rear cargo cover. The windows are tinted and should be legal in most states. One window has a poor tint job. Cosmetic imperfections were photographed. The driver's side fog light is broken. All imperfections were photographed and described to the best of my ability, but there may be other minor ones not shown here due to the nature of a high mileage car. The glove box stop is broken, so it swings wide open. The auto dim mirror is permanently dimmed, reducing visibility. The transmission has serious shifting issues, ranging from flaring between shifts to very hard up and downshifts. Sometimes, it shifts well. The check engine light is on for the transmission solenoid (2-3 If I'm not mistaken.) The engine has not really given me any issues, but does make a hissing sound when under load. It burns a quart of oil every few tanks of gas, more when driven hard. The suspension is worn out and needs replacement and the car does vibrate when driving. The AWD system works. Two sets of keys are included. Clean title. Radio works, No CD function though .Brakes are very strong and smooth. ABS works. The car has recently received a new upper (polyeurethane [pictured]) and lower (factory spec) transmission mounts. Spark plugs were changed around 10k miles ago. The serpentine belt (pictured) seems to be quite new, and the timing belt was inspected (by me) and appears to have been serviced recently, but I cannot officially say that these belts were changed because I have no proof. I will update this listing with any other known issues, as I am trying to give a complete picture to the buyer. The bottom line is that the car needs TLC, maybe a powertrain swap, but has been driven by me for approximately 10,000 miles with no apparent worsening of the conditions listed. That being said, there are no warranties or promises associated with the sale of this vehicle. Please ask any questions before bidding. Due to my job, I am not always in town and may require some patience from the buyer to complete the transaction. If buyer arranges shipping, This shouldn't be an issue.

Volvo demos autonomous self-parking car concept

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

A number of companies are developing autonomous vehicle technology - Google and Audi come to mind - but Volvo is applying its work in the area to a particular usage case: parking. The Swedish automaker has the technology up and running in a concept vehicle, which it says can be dropped off at the curb by its owner and left to its own devices to enter and navigate a car park, then find and park in an available parking spot. Volvo says the process can even be reversed when the owner is ready to go, with the car leaving the car park on its own to meet its key-holder again at the curb.
The vehicle first interacts with Vehicle 2 Infrastructure technology, which places transmitters in the road itself to inform the car (and driver) if the self-parking service is available. The driver then hops out, activates the Self Parking function on his or her smartphone and then leaves the car to do its work. The car uses sensors, all seemingly hidden from view (an advancement of its own in this field), to autonomously navigate the car park, which includes interacting and adjusting to other cars, people and objects.
The technology used here builds off of Volvo's other work in autonomous vehicle research, namely the Safe Road Trains for the Environment (SARTRE) project in which the company managed to create a train of four cars autonomously following a lead truck at speeds up 56 miles per hour. Volvo says the first application of its autonomous research in a production vehicle will happen at the end of 2014 with some level of autonomous steering available in the next-generation XC90. See the system in action by watching the video below.
