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.

Europe on track to buy more PHEVs than hybrids by 2019

Mon, Apr 27 2015

LMC Automotive, formerly the forecasting division of J.D. Power & Associates, predicts that plug-in hybrids will sell better than conventional hybrids by 2019. By 2021, it envisions PHEV sales at 600,000 units yearly compared to 325,000 standard hybrid sales, and by 2024 PHEV sales are expected to account for 1.2 million sales every year. Part of LMC's prediction is based on a few factors, such as that it believes "electric-only operation will come to be seen as a true luxury characteristic and will be prized sufficiently to command significant premiums." Certain PHEVs are helped in countries like the UK and The Netherlands by generous incentives or other perks, like avoiding inner London's congestion charge, that allow them to address their price differences compared to standard offerings. And the number of PHEVs on the market will soon eclipse regular hybrids, coming from makers across the spectrum. Volvo has twice recently, and only belatedly, learned of the popularity of PHEVs: in 2013 it had to triple production of the V60 PHEV, and just this month it said demand for its XC90 PHEV is four times expectations. The Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid is outselling the traditional hybrid Panamera by more than seven-to-one. And then there's Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Europe's best-selling PHEV with 19,855 units, a volume more than three times larger than the second-best seller. Although LMC sees hybrid growth slowing, they're still doing well. Toyota and Lexus build the top-five selling traditional hybrids in Europe, combining for 72 percent of European sales, with the new Auris and Yaris hybrids alone selling 123,506 units in 2014. For LMC's forecast to come true, Europe will need a spectacular change in buying habits, since the top ten conventional hybrids tallied 175,847 sales in 2014, and the top ten PHEVs rang up 36,138 sales.

Volvo Cars reports theft of R&D data by hackers

Fri, Dec 10 2021

STOCKHOLM — Volvo Cars said on Friday it had launched an investigation into a cyber security breach and the theft of some research and development data that could impact the company's operation. A spokesperson for the firm, majority owned by China's Geely Holding, said it had been approached by a third party, but declined to give any further details. "Investigations so far confirm that a limited amount of the company's R&D property has been stolen during the intrusion," the Swedish carmaker said in a statement. It added that "there may be an impact on the company's operation," without specifying what that might be. It said it did not see an impact on the security of its customers' cars or their personal data. The Gothenburg-based company said it had implemented security countermeasures to prevent further access to its property, while notifying relevant authorities. "Volvo Cars is conducting its own investigation and working with a third-party specialist to investigate the property theft," it said. Shares in Volvo Cars, whose IPO on Oct. 29 was the biggest in Europe this year, were down 3.2% at 1555 GMT.  

Volvo C30 Polestar Concept hits the 'Ring

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

It's been over three years since the Volvo C30 Polestar Concept was unveiled, driven by journalists and, as it turns out, lapped around the Nürburgring with Scandinavian Touring Car Championship driver Robert Dahlgren behind the wheel. For whatever reason, the video of the 'Ring track session was only published by the tuning company yesterday. (Another discrepancy: Did Polestar's C30 lose 46 horsepower somewhere along the line? Because the video states that it has 405 hp, while the company's website quotes 451 hp...)
Whatever the case, the tuned Volvo is a beast, much more so than the similar-looking, 250-hp 2013 Volvo C30 Polestar Limited Edition that was sold last year. With 451 hp (sounds better than 405 hp, doesn't it?), all-wheel drive, limited-slip differentials front and rear and Öhlins dampers, the Polestar Concept checks all of the right boxes for us.
For some reason, the video, which you can watch below, seems a bit vanilla to us. Perhaps the overly dramatic music takes away from the action and the beautiful sounds of the turbocharged five-cylinder engine?
