Excellent condition for age. This is a very safe,reliable and beautiful Volvo. This is our 3rd Volvo and have enjoyed all of them

I am the 2nd owner. When I bought it a few years ago I did all the necessary and recommended service. (100,000) mile service. Complete tune up,replaced radiator and thermostat, changed timing belt and did a transmission service. In the last few months I replaced a cv axle and put 4 brand new tires on. These tires are quiet and handle great. Just changed the oil and filter so the new owner won't have to.

From 10 feet out the car looks brand new. Upon closer inspection you will still be impressed. Only minor scuffs and abrasions that you would expect a 10 year old car to have. It has the original paint. Car fax and title are clean, no accidents. The interior doesn't have have any rips or tears. Normal wear and tear. Many of the older Volvos available have many cosmetic and mechanical issues. I would say this car is above average for the year model. My wife drove the car everyday. I have 2 keys, 2 keyless entry remotes and the original owners Manuel and booklet. She bought a Lexus this time so it's time to sell this car. In interest of full disclosure and to be as fair as possible for bidders that are not local and can't see or drive the car before bidding: when I first bought the car around 30 or 40 thousand miles ago I had certified Volvo technicians do all of the maintience. I questioned how the transmission shifted. It has never slipped, it just seemed to me like it wasn't down shifting as smooth as I expected. They told me it was normal for the Volvo's. I was paranoid so I had it serviced anyway. They said the turbo gives it that extra punch on acceleration and the torque converters aren't as smooth as the even older Volvo wagons. I use a 8 dollar transmission conditioner a couple of times a year and it makes it as smooth as I think it's supposed to be. This has been a great car. Looks great, I get compliments all the time. I have been a proud owner, and hate to get rid of it but my wife was ready for something different. We made several long distance trips in this car, and wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. I am going to market the car locally for $6500. I would like to sell it in the next week so I am offering the car at no reserve. Thanks for bidding.

Volvos will brake for bicyclists with new detection technology

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Anyone who pedals a bicycle knows that one of the biggest dangers to riders is a motorized vehicle - Volvo estimates that nearly 50 percent of all cyclists killed in European traffic have collided with a car. In the United States alone, 618 riders lost their lives in bicycle/motor vehicle crashes in 2010, and the number of injuries surpassed 52,000.
To help drop those numbers, Volvo has just announced Cyclist Detection with full auto brake - a technology that detects and automatically applies a vehicle's brakes when a cyclist swerves in front of a moving car. The basic components of the system include a radar unit integrated into the front grille, a camera fitted in front of the interior rear-view mirror and a central control unit. The radar is tasked with seeing obstacles in front of the vehicle and calculating distance, while the camera is responsible to determine what the object is. The central control unit, with rapid processing capabilities, monitors and evaluates the situation.
The technology, which will be sold bundled with its Pedestrian Detection and called Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection, will automatically apply full braking when both the radar and camera confirm a pedestrian or cyclist are in the immediate path of the vehicle. According to the automaker, the technology will be offered on the Volvo V40, S60, V60, XC60, V70, XC70 and S80 models from mid-May in 2013.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.

Volvo Polestar celebrates STCC title with Black R edition S60, V60 and XC60

Sat, 21 Dec 2013

The relationship between Volvo and Polestar was forged - and forges deeper still - on the racetrack, where the latter fields the former's tin-top entries in the STCC, WTCC and V8 Supercars. And based on their success together in touring-car racing, Volvo has had Polestar amp up a number of its production road cars. What we have here is the latest.
This year Volvo and Polestar dominated the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship, taking both the drivers' and manufacturers' titles. So to celebrate, Polestar has rolled out a new Black R package for the S60 sedan, V60 wagon and XC60 crossover.
The package includes an upgrade to 329 horsepower for the T6 engine and to 230 hp for the D5, and further enhances with special wheels, a dropped suspension, special sport seats and more. Unfortunately the package is only being offered in Sweden, but you can scope out the details in the press release below and the photos in the gallery above.
