This auction is for a 2003 Volvo S80 T6. It is a 6 cyl, twin turbo with an automatic transmission that also has the option to shift gears manually. I have owned 4 of these and the motors have alway run great well over the 200K mile mark. The transmissions are usually a little less flawless but they seem to keep going and going. One example was my 2000 - the transmission started shifting rough once in a while around 70K miles and it finally went out on that car at 227K miles. This car is in real nice shape inside and out for a ten year old car. The pictures show the condition well. I got it for my son and he's used it for the past few months and drives it back and forth to a local job as well as a local college. We put new floor mats, center console cover and battery in when we got it and went over the car real well. It has been very reliable. The car does have some minor issues but nothing I think is major.
Every now and then it runs rough for 20 or 30 seconds when you first start it and that has set the check engine light off twice. The local autozone reset the light and it showed an oxygen sensor code. My experience with these cars tells me it's likely one of the coils starting to get weak.
It also occasionally can't decide if it wants to shift into 4th or stay in 3rd gear and my son just uses the shifter to shift it into 4th. ZThis has happened about 4 times over the past three months.
The front tires look good but the back tires have some dry rot cracks on them. We've never had to put air in them but I would recommend replacing them. They also have a VERY aggressive tread to them and are noisy when you're driving.
There is only one key to the car and no remotes. My son decided he wanted an old Honda Civic instead of the S80 so this car has to go. This is a no-reserve auction so bid to win and ask all questions prior to bidding. I'll be away from Thursday through Sunday and will answer questions if I can get near a computer. Thanks for looking.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.
Watch this Volvo truck drive up a quarry road using hamster-powered steering
Fri, 13 Sep 2013Volvo Trucks has been producing some of the most interesting and thrilling commercials around as of late, and this new one involves a live hamster. While you may wonder how could a hamster and a dump truck could be exciting, just know this ain't a Kia Soul commercial: the Swedish truck company enlists the help of a hamster named Charlie to steer an FMX construction truck up a winding road in Ourence, Spain. From the bottom of a quarry. We are not kidding you.
All we ask is that you watch the commercial below to see how it all goes down. If you like what you see, you can then check out a bonus 'behind the scenes' video and press release for details about how Volvo Trucks prepared for the stunt.
