98 Volvo work/delivery/commuter wagon, very reliable and very safe.  My nanny bought this last year and I loaned her the money and kept the title in my name.  She drove my kids from LA to LV on a regular basis and not once was there any issue.  She has since paid it off and has asked me to sell it for her.  My knowledge of this car is relatively limited.  I drove it to the car wash, and then on the highway for 20-30 miles to run some errands.  Solid and powerful engine, smooth transmission, suspension is stiff and tight, cabin is quiet.  Surprisingly quick.  No pulling or pulsating or strange noises.  

Please keep in mind that it is 16 years old and is being sold with no warranty and all sales are final.  As with any used car, please expect that it will need normal maintenance/repairs and will have dings, scratches and other cosmetic blemishes consistent with it's age.  We are not dealers or mechanics and below is everything we know about the car.  Pre-purchase inspections are cheap, easy and always recommended.

Last Year:
-New front suspension - brakes, rotors, bushings, struts, and some other wear and tear items. 
-4 New matching tires last year, 85% tread remaining
-New timing belt and upper timing gear
-New Volvo spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor
-New fluids
-21.5 MPG City, 26 MPG Highway
-No smoking or overheating

-AC will need service and/or repairs to be cold again.  Was not cold when she bought it.  Mechanic charged it and it was cold for a couple of months, but he said there was a small leak.  Sure enough, it's not cold anymore.
-Right rear window doesn't go down
-I bumped into the gas door while it was open and knocked it off.  Have the door in perfect condition, but the plastic clips were brittle from age and broke.  It needs the 4 clips snapped back in (no tools required) to fit back onto the quarter panel.

Good power seats, sunroof, power locks, factory 3500 lbs tow hitch with wiring (hidden in boot), spare tire and tools, tinted windows, all lights (in and out) working, horn works, cruise control works, CD cassette deck works, heater is amazing, seat heaters hot, wipers work front and rear, power mirrors work, seat belts work, rear cargo/pet divider (not photographed) is in perfect condition.

The Private Party KBB values are:
Excellent $5,106
Very Good $4,831
Good $4,731
Fair $4,281

Full payment due within 24 hours of auction close NO EXCEPTIONS.  Payment due by bank to bank wire transfer or cash in person.  If you are flying in and driving it back I can bring the wagon to the airport to expedite the transaction.

Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move

Tue, Dec 6 2016

With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.

New Lotus SUV could be based on Volvo architecture

Tue, Mar 20 2018

Last year, Chinese carmaker Geely upped its stake in Lotus to a majority, recently investing more money into the British brand. Now, talking with Automotive News, CEO Jean-Marc Gales says Geely has approved three new models: two sports cars and the third an SUV. The sports cars will be announced later this year, and they will reach production in 2020. The last time a properly new Lotus debuted was in 2009 with the Evora, so a decade later new products are certainly due. But what about that SUV? Autocar says that since Geely also owns Volvo, that makes it possible for Lotus to base the SUV onto the Volvo SPA platform, which is also used in the XC60 and XC90. The choice of platform would mean the SUV would have to be a four-cylinder model, but that's nothing new to Lotus. It could even use Volvo's "Twin Engine" hybrid setup, which would mean a power output of over 400 horsepower as stock, and that with Lotus' eagerness for lightness could be a potent combination. Autocar quotes Gales as saying, "It will go round bends like nothing else in its segment." The target weight for the approximately Porsche Macan-sized SUV is under 2,000 kilos (4,400 pounds), and the Macan weighs 4244 pounds in 400-hp Turbo guise. The Lotus SUV is projected to hit the market in "about four years," and it's very likely to be built in China instead of Britain, as the Chinese market is very enticing — especially for this class of vehicle. The vehicles will still be designed at Lotus' Hethel HQ. Related Video:

Two more Volvo Concept C Coupe teasers drop [w/videos]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Volvo is planning to take the wraps off its Concept C Coupe tomorrow ahead of an official unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If you just can't wait until then, though, Volvo has released two more teaser videos for the new concept.
Like the video from earlier in the week, we get a couple more sneak peeks of the stylish two-door including our first glimpse of the interior. The highly conceptual concept likely hints at a future coupe for the Swedish automaker, and after dropping the C30 and C70 from its lineup over the last couple years, this can't come soon enough. Scroll down to watch both new teaser videos, and stay tuned to see more on this car tomorrow.
