Selling this 1981 Volvo DL. Purchased brand new by "Uncle Ray" in Northern California where it still lives. The blue paint still shines nice. It has met with a few parking lot blemishes(see photos and video). It was maintained and still is to the tee. A stack of service records accompany the vehicle. The sunroof still slides nicely. The interior, although nice by Volvo standards does have a small hole in the driver's side bottom cushion. There are seat covers covering the front seat. The passenger front is still nice. The rear seats look like no one has ever sat in them. It has been lovingly owned by one owner more over 30 years. The dash does have some small cracks(see video). The sunroof slides nicely and it rides on matching tires. Words cannot describe how nice and original this Volvo is. I will let the videos and photos show you. It a vintage Volvo has been in your hearts desire, then this is the one for you. For, you can search the world and not find an original one like this still owned by the original owner. He has kept this Volvo in exceptional shape. It is now ready for the next Volvo owner. I only hope that whoever gets the Volvo takes care of it as well as "Uncle Ray" did. With all my auctions, a few requirements. First, NO PAYPAL. Second, any and all bidders with less than 10 feedback and/or negative feedback must contact me PRIOR to bidding with their full name and contact number. Third, you are bidding to OWN, not look and make excuses. Any and all inspections are welcome during the auction period, not after. Once the auction is completed, you are the NEW owner. Please make sure you have any and all funds necessary to purchase this vehicle. Also, selling in AS-IS, Where-Is condition with NO WARRANTIES, expressed or implied. Vehicle is a 33 year old vehicle and although looks and runs good, it should not be considered SHOWROOM fresh. Seller has represented vehicle to the best of his knowledge and also makes no representations as to the condition of the vehicle. Vehicle is also advertised locally and seller reserves right to end the auction early and cancel all bids. So, with a great big, I LOVE VOLVOS yell, let this auction begin. NO RESERVE.

12-year-old golfer wins Volvo for hole-in-one [w/video]

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Some people just have all of the luck. Natasha Oon, a 12-year-old girl in Malaysia, was recently attending the 40th RSGC Ladies Amateur Open Championship at the Royal Selangor Golf Club with her parents. On a whim, she teed up a shot with her eight iron and scored a hole-in-one. That would have been impressive for a girl her age by any standards, but she didn't see the sign that said making the shot also won her a new Volvo XC60 T5. Not a bad prize for a tween who won't be allowed to drive for at least a few years.
So what does any good 12-year-old do with a CUV? Give it to her parents of course. According to website Paultan, she plans on giving the crossover to her mom and told her, "this is the car that you will use to drive me to school every day." Scroll down to watch video of Oon receiving the oversized key to the Volvo with her family and a brief interview with her about what she was thinking when she found out she won a car for sinking a fantastic shot.

Volvo's oldest model earns IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award [w/video]

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Volvo ought to be tooting its horn over this one. The XC90, an SUV that has essentially been on sale for over 10 years, just captured a Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The TSP+ is a new title, reserved for cars that earn "Good" or "Acceptable" ratings on each IIHS crash test.
This is a difficult feat for a new car - Toyota's new Corolla infamously failed to net a Top Safety Pick+ earlier this year - largely because of the new small overlap front tests, which have left many automakers struggling. But Volvo, somehow, was able to conquer the tests with a car that predates the original iPhone by a few years. The XC90 earning a Top Safety Pick+ is like Betty White taking the gold in the decathlon. With Volvo in the midst of working on the XC90's replacement, we're curious to see just how well a more modern version does in crash testing. Take a look down below for the crash test video and a press release from IIHS.

Volvo launches next-gen Sensus Connect infotainment system [w/videos]

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

To borrow a line from another automaker, the Volvo S60 has the power to surprise - it's likely not top of mind for most entry-level luxury sedan buyers, but it's good enough that it probably should be. There's long been one pretty serious chink in its armor, though, and that goes for the company's entire model line: infotainment. The Swedish marque's offerings just haven't been that feature-rich, but Volvo is working to improve things with its updated Sensus Connect, a suite of functions just launched at this week's CES in Las Vegas.
The new system updates center on cloud-based connectivity advancements that include a novel Park&Pay feature that allows drivers to search for parking and pay for their space from the comfort of their car. Other functions that show off the diversity of Sensus Connect include embedded, Pandora-streaming internet radio, Wikipedia, remote start via smart phone, dealer appointment booking, destination attraction searches and an available wifi hotspot.
All of this increased functionality sounds like a big step in the right direction, and Volvo is noting it has refreshed the system's interface with "graphically themed center and driver displays" along with improved voice control and text-to-speech capabilities.
