2006 Volvo V70R AWD Wagon 5 Cylinder high pressure, 300 horsepower twin turbo 6 Speed Manual (RARE) 90,500 Miles Titanium Grey Metallic with Beige Leather Seats I have owned this car since May of 2007. The original owner had knee surgery and couldn’t drive a stick any longer so it ended up back at Boston Volvo from where I purchased it. I have all records and all receipts including synthetic oil changes every 5K. Kids driving and off to college is making us change up our car mix, so I am reluctantly putting this up for sale. This car is loaded! In addition to all of the usual R features, this has: - A complete extra set of R 17 Pegs with General Altimax Arctic’s snows (for you Swede-0-philes, General bought from Gislaved and these in fact are a copy of the discontinued Gislaved Nordfrost 3. - Summer shoes are Kumho Ecsta AST’s on R 18 Pegs (This originally came with low profiles but the roads around here are just not conducive to that kind of tire, so I went a bit higher on the sidewalls. Both set rub slightly when pulling a full U turn as a result – pretty common for R’s) - A factory upgraded sound system with a massive sub-woofer where the 3rd row seat would go, 10 CD changer in back and ipod adapter up front - Integrated Bluetooth for phone pairing - Pop up navigation in dash and slightly tinted windows. - Volvo cross bar roof racks – never used. - This car is straight stock and has had no modifications. In the interest of full disclosure here are a few small items that keep me from saying that this is in “perfect” condition: - This car has never been in an accident or collision. I did, however, run over a truck tire retread that was in the highway and it whacked right under the front bumper. The mounts to the radiator, intercooler and fan assembly were all damaged. Insurance picked all of this up so all of those parts are new (about 14 months ago). There was no other damage and no issues since. - I had replaced the upper engine mount last summer. As the old one was loose, the engine was moving more than it should have and the mounting bracket to the air intake pipe that runs over the top of the engine had cracked. The (plastic) pipe has a fiberglass patch on the bracket and functions perfectly fine. You could order a new one for around $280, but there’s nothing wrong with it as it. - The fuel door does not immediately lock/latch when you shut it. Once you start the car after filling, the electric lock engages and its fine from there on. I have a matching (painted) door that will go with the car. It hasn’t bothered me that much so I have not replaced it. - All 8 Pegs (rims) have some curb rash. (wife!). You can see these in the pictures. The Kumho’s have a few surface tears to accompany the curb rash, but nothing major. - Leather could use a really good cleaning and reconditioning – no rips or tears, but this has been a kid and dog hauler. - There is one small (quarter size) rough patch of paint (I’ve taken a picture of it) on the front end. No rust and I think it must have been a stone ding. It’s covered with touch up paint. Otherwise the body and paint is in very good shape. - Oh, and as I was washing the car this weekend to take some pictures, my water-droplet obsessed border collie left bite marks on the left rear mud flap. I have already ordered a set from IPD. If I have time I’ll replace the left one – in any case it will come with new rear mud flaps. Other good things: - Weather Tech rubber mats were used year round from Day 1, so the carpets are all in really good shape. The rear cargo area has always had both a vinyl liner and the plastic tray, so I don’t think that carpet has ever even seen daylight. - Brakes were done about a year ago – maybe 10K, so plenty left on them - As I mentioned above, I have all receipts for oil changes and all other maintenance. - I sprung for a lifetime air filter - New set of plugs last fall - Just replaced tail gate struts - New battery in March

Volvo to test 100 self-driving cars on Swedish roads [w/video]
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Autonomous vehicles are increasingly being tested on public roads around the globe, including Nissan in Japan and Google here in the US, and now Volvo is preparing to test its own self-driving cars on the streets of Sweden. In conjunction with the state government, Volvo's Drive Me project kicks off next year, starting with the development of customer research and infrastructure technology before setting 100 self-driving cars loose on the streets of Gothenburg in 2017.
These 100 cars will be in the hands of customers, and the tests will help Volvo and the Swedish government track varying aspects of self-driving cars including economic benefits, consumer confidence, traffic flow and passenger safety. The technology being developed by Volvo uses not only on-board radar and sensors but also map data gathered from the cloud, and it controls all driving systems including the brakes, throttle and steering. Drivers can engage and disengage the car's autonomous drive mode by pushing a button on the steering wheel, and the technology will also allow for a self-parking feature.
While the cars shown in this demo are S60 models, the test vehicles will be based on Volvo's upcoming Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), which underpins future models like the next-gen Volvo XC90. Scroll down for a video and press release marking the announcement.
Volvo Concept Estate is a brown shooting brake, need we say more?
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Set for a debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show next week, images of the Volvo Concept Estate have found their way onto the web courtesy of Jalopnik. If the Concept Coupe from Frankfurt were a modern P1800, the Concept Estate is a modern P1800ES.
We briefly detailed the finale to Volvo's trio of concept cars earlier this week, when images of it poked out finished in a custom car cover. Now, with a batch of uncovered images at hand, we're able to see just how pretty this brown beauty really is.
Below the beltline, this is pretty much the Concept Coupe, featuring the same T-shaped headlights and wide, rectangular grille. Above the beltline, though, things get fun. The long, glass roof terminates in a squat, wide rear end which is set off by a pair of meaty haunches. The taillights, meanwhile, expand on the style shown on Volvo's Detroit concept, the Concept XC Coupe. And that hatch opens up into a rather cavernous rear end.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
