I am a Volvo tech and I'm selling a dependable 1998 Volvo v70 R AWD rare w/ every option(non smoker) or pet hair, I purchased this silver (always looks clean) wagon from a customer of mine recently, he took great care of it but he got into a accident in a parking lot and it smashed the pass front fender (replaced w/ oem fender,no frame damage) not really a huge issue but the car needed a large maintenance service performed and he could not afford the repairs so I bought the wagon for resale.  If you are looking for a Volvo wagon this is the last real Volvo after 1998 Volvo switched over to a electronic throttle body on there engines that had many issues which caused Volvo to put out a recall on the throttle body, plus the ignition system was switched over from a distributor to coil over plug which crack all the time and cause misfire issues, plus post 98 Volvos have many electronic control modules which are expensive to repair when they go bad I repeat when they go bad not if they go bad, I have owned many Volvos but 1998 and prior years were very dependable, you don't have to take my word on this but do yourself a favor and go online and read posts on the 98 and prior Volvos compared to post 98 models.


I recently replaced many parts on the R here is a list of the repairs, new front and rear pads and rotors, radiator fan, re-manufactured abs module, upper coolant hose, timing belt service (oem parts), air filter, cab-filter, oem spark plugs, oem spark plug wires, oem cap and rotor, serpentine belt, front struts upper bushings(spring seats), evac and recharged a/c, battery, all fluids.In the last year the front axles have been replaced, the mufflers have been replaced w/ dual ipd mufflers and tips, lower control arms, radiator, ect sensor, mass air flow sensor, rear wiper motor and regulator, wipers, head light bulbs, fogg light bulbs, tail light bulbs.I replaced many of the parts because I came across great discounted parts (oem) and it should help w/ the resale price. I have replaced all the fluids, four wheel alignment, the tires are new goodyear eagles rsa all seasons (great in rain and quiet), The 16" stock oem alloy wheels are clean no curb rash,  the engine idles perfectly and performs great I have owned other R wagons before but this one seems faster then the other not sure why all my vehicles are always basically left stock, the transmission has been serviced every 30k w/ new atf shifts properly. The awd driveline is in good working order no vibrations, the brakes perform properly no squeaks, or vibrations, the suspension is tight there is no loose play in any of components NO fluid leaks, a/c blows cold, heat blows hot, premium sound system oem. Everything works in and out of the Volvo I have gone threw every system w/ my Volvo scanner (engine, transmission, abs, srs, climate control etc) no trouble codes (dtcs) there are no surprises every switch, bulb, solenoid works. I removed the tailgate panel because no matter what you do they rattle and its annoying also as you can see I removed the headlight wipers because they are worthless they cause more issues then what there worth so I always remove them on my vehicles if you want them ill give them to you they work fine.The windows are tinted (drivers window has a little part torn but still looks good) and keep the interior cool on hot days, the interior is in great shape dark wood trim, leather and suede in good condition normal wear and tear drivers seat has normal wear look at pics, small dents here and there bumpers have been touched up from rock chips but the body is still pretty straight for being a 1998 vehicle NO RUST,tinted tail lights I would give the body a 8 out of 10, the paint still shines like new. I have drove the R and I have been averaging 22-23 MPG previous owner told me he got better mpg w/ driveshaft off I currently have it installed I can remove it if you want let me know. PLEASE EMAIL W/ ANY QUESTIONS

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.

2015 Volvo XC90 is the Swedish future

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

It's been months since the Concept XC Coupe debuted at the Detroit Auto Show, Volvo's last show car previewing its all-new 2015 XC90. But the production model is finally here after years of development, and it signals the future of the Swedish automaker with its Scalable Product Architecture modular platform and cutting-edge new engine family.
The 2015 XC90 carries all-new styling, but is still familiar up front, with the company's logo slashing diagonally through its prominent, upright grille. Like the concept, it carries T-Shaped LED running lights through the headlights. The company calls them the "Thor's Hammer" design, an evocative designation that we think is fantastic. Under that new front end is a choice of two quite powerful, but very efficient powertrains. The standard XC90 gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged engine with all-wheel drive making an impressive 316 horsepower. Or if buyers want to be a little greener and more powerful, there is the XC90 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid with the same engine, albeit augmented with an electric motor to produce a staggering 400 hp.
The exterior styling is crisp, if not quite as sensual as Volvo's latest concepts, but we think the interior is the real star here, with a dashboard that looks like it came out of a Herman Miller catalog and a unique vertically oriented infotainment screen integrated into its center stack, perhaps taking a cue from Tesla. If the cabin feels as good as it looks, we think a lot of sales are going to be won inside.

2015.5 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar [w/video]

Thu, 01 May 2014

Polestar Performance has been around since 1996, but until recently, it only did two things: manage Volvo motorsports operations and run a specialist consumer-facing side that built concept cars and boosted Volvo's turbocharged production cars by 15 to 60 horsepower. Five years ago, it fulfilled its long-held desire to engineer an actual production car, first creating the C30 Polestar Performance Concept, a showcar that led to the C30 Polestar Limited Edition.
That foray led to the berserker, 508-horsepower 2013 S60 Polestar Concept that Auto Motor und Sport called "a hard slap in the face to the Germans," and that model led to the limited-edition S60 Polestar production car just for Australia, a car reviewers swooned for, with one comparing its chassis finesse to the Ferrari 458 Italia.
All of which is to say, Polestar has a good start for a motorsports and tuning company to make good on its production car dreams. The 2015 Volvo S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar keep that momentum going, and beautifully at that.
