Thanks for looking at my add. I am moving overseas for work in few weeks and therefore selling my Volvo that I have owned for 5 years.

Bought it at mileage 36k when I moved to the US (at Joe Perillo dealership in Chicago), the car now has ~93k miles on it and still runs great. There were no animals in the car or smokers for the time I have owned it.

The car was in no accidents during the whole history, although I did back up into someone at like 2 mph (black car parked diagonally behind me at kiss&fly zone at airport in the dark, I did not see it). Nevertheless, an accident that I believe is shown in the car's history. There was no damage on my car and about $400 repair on the other car (I hit his drivers' door with my rear right bumper). Only repair I had to do about 3 years ago was leaking radiator: coolant was getting mixed with engine oil (oil getting into coolant). This caused thermostat rubber to corrode, therefore the system kept cooling so engine wouldn't reach operating temperature. Had this repaired for about $1800 (full service records are in my car) and since then the car had been running without any problems. No other repairs except regular maintenance and fluid changes. Had this car checked in my shop a month ago and it's all OK - no leaks, no problems with fluids, brakes are at 70% of their life (even though brakes vibrate a bit while braking..the car was sitting for 2 weeks and when I picked up it this started, just few weeks ago), tires are at 20% of their life so will need changing eventually. If there is demand I can have them changed for ~$400 (full price is ~$750) because I have thread warranty and the tires were wearing faster than guaranteed. This would be paid extra on top of the price of the car but it can save you few hundred bucks if you decide to change tires right away (the warranty is only good for me - expires with ownership change).

As far as the interior and exterior goes, it's looking VERY good, I have been pretty much the only person using it >>> only the driver's seat had been used. Car would be great for a family - with 3 rows of seats can fit up to 7 people (even though 3rd row is narrow). Has tinned 2nd&3rd row/trunk seats, sunroof, electric seats (only front row), easy to fit 2 bikes in the trunk (taking 2nd and 3rd row seats down). Been parked in the garage most (70%) of the time. Paint has some very light scratches as well as one scratch on the front right bumper, but nothing really visible or worth repairing.

If you have any questions please shoot me an email, I am trying to me maximally transparent so now when I'm re-reading, this add may even sound a bit conservative. Truth is this car is in a great shape and was a good servant to me, may use few minor dent repairs that are not worth doing for me (maybe not even for you since engine is OK) but I believe if you invest few hundred (esp. tires) you'll have a car that will look just perfect. It runs great already.

Happy bidding!

China's Geely to add $4.6 billion battery plant in EV push

Mon, Mar 15 2021

BEIJING — Geely said on Monday it would build an electric vehicle battery factory with a planned annual manufacturing capacity of 42 gigawatt hours (GWh) in China's eastern city of Ganzhou, as it expands its EV lineup in the world's biggest car market. For comparison, the Tesla-Panasonic Gigafactory in Nevada announced an expansion last fall to just under 40 gigawatt hours. The total investment in the project by Geely's technology arm will be 30 billion yuan ($4.6 billion), according to a separate statement from the local government. Geely's technology group has previously invested in Ganzhou-based EV battery maker Farasis. The planned factory comes after Geely announced a flurry of tie-ups in January aimed at turning the automaker into a leading EV contract manufacturer and engineering service provider, as it fights the incursion of EV leader Tesla. Geely, which owns Volvo Cars and a 9.7% stake in Daimler AG, is competing with Great Wall and Nio, among others. China's government has heavily promoted new energy vehicles (NEVs) Â— such as battery-powered, plug-in petrol-electric hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell cars Â— in response to chronic air pollution, spurring interest from technology companies and investors alike. China forecasts NEVs will make up 20% of its annual auto sales by 2025 from around 5% in 2020. Â Green Plants/Manufacturing Volvo Electric Geely

Volvo Cars' earnings top pre-pandemic levels in boost ahead of possible IPO

Fri, Jul 23 2021

STOCKHOLM — Volvo Cars reported a return to profit in the first half as demand for electric cars pushed earnings above pre-pandemic levels, putting the carmaker on a firmer footing as it considers a possible IPO this year. Sweden-based Volvo, owned by China's Geely Holding, said on Friday it made a first-half profit of 13.24 billion Swedish crowns ($1.52 billion), more than double its profit of 5.52 billion crowns in the corresponding period of 2019, before the coronavirus struck. Like several other automakers Volvo has been forced to cut production due to global shortages of semiconductors, but it said a strong market recovery from last year's plunge during the pandemic helped first-half revenue rise by 26% to 141 billion crowns. "The pandemic effect, when it comes to our business, we don't see it anymore," Chief Executive Hakan Samuelsson told Reuters. "All our employees have not been vaccinated yet, but sales and production are really back to where we were." The company, which is eyeing an initial public offering before the end of this year, said all its regions showed solid growth and improved market shares, with chargeable cars representing 25% of total sales. Samuelsson said the evaluation process ahead of a potential IPO was progressing according to plan, adding the firm was still considering listing on the Stockholm stock exchange in the second half of 2021. "The company stands stronger than ever and we are in the midst of a very substantial transformation ... It has to be financed and access to the stock market is of course positive then," Samuelsson said. Volvo Cars had been heavily affected at the start of the pandemic, plunging to a 989 million loss in the first half of 2020. The company on Friday kept its second-half outlook for flat sales and revenue growth year on year, "unless supply of semiconductors improves". It said earlier this month that first-half sales rose 41% to 380,757 cars. The Gothenburg-based firm plans to become a fully electric car maker by 2030, sell 600,000 battery electric vehicles at mid-decade, and build a European battery gigafactory in 2026.
