A Solid Car on 2040-cars
Three Rivers, California, United States
|
This has been my commuting vehicle for years and would serve anyone as well for many more. It’s also the third Volvo I’ve owned in the last 25 years. I’ve taken exceptional care of it, doing all the maintenance myself including regular tune-ups, fluid changes brakes, etc. Replacement parts have mostly been OEM Volvo/Botsch readily available from any local parts store. If you’re not familiar with Volvos you’ll find them a pleasure to work on and a synch to find parts for, new or used. It’s currently licensed and insured. Passes SMOG every time. 4cylander, 2.3 liter B230 engine manual 5-speed transmission. All original, well maintained. Non-smoker. Clean. No unpleasant odors. Front seat upholstery is fairly worn in the seat, so I use slipcovers. Seat warmers work well, however. The rear bench seat is in excellent condition for all but a dime size tear on the driver’s side. AC (air conditioning) works very well, so does the heater. Has no radio, but it’s wired for sound. All the lights and turn signals work with the exception of the rear window brake light bulb, which I will probably not get around to replacing before I sell it. Included is a Yakima roof rack with an attachment for a bicycle. I have a lot to say about this car, but I type too slow and this is taking some time to produce. This is a reliable car that I'm selling with confidence. Call or write with any specific questions you may have or if you'd like to come by for a test drive. 559-561-4524 |

Volvo teases mysterious new small crossover
Thu, 16 May 2013The image you see above is just about all we know of the new Volvo crossover that will be revealed at 8:30 pm Central European Time on May 17 (2:30 pm Eastern Standard Time). Volvo released three very short video teasers, all with the tagline "Leave The World Behind," all of which feature a member of the now-defunct band Swedish House Mafia - Axwell sits in a boat in the first, Sebastian Ingrosso walks toward cabin in the second and Steve Angello stares at the sea in a third.
A microsite, www.leavetheworldbehind.com, accompanies the teasers and it's been said that a short film by Lune will feature the band - Swedish Mafia had a hit in 2009 with the song Leave the World Behind. As for the vehicle, theories are that it could be something between the V40 Cross Country and XC60, the new XC90 or something else entirely. We don't have long to wait, and you can watch both teasers below.
Volvo uncovers widespread cheating by its Chinese dealers
Tue, 26 Mar 2013According to a report in Reuters, the findings of an internal investigation conducted by Geely-owned Volvo is that its Chinese dealers vastly overreported their sales numbers in 2011, then even more vastly underreported their 2012 sales figures. About "half the dealers" out of the 151 total outlets gamed the system in order to get incentives for reaching volume objectives, falsely recording about 7,000 more units sold than was actually the case. Instead of 47,140 cars sold in China in 2011, the real number should have been 39,871.
Volvo corporate books a sale once it ships a car to a dealer, so that meant there were 7,000 more cars in inventory than there should have been. To restore the balance, the dealers underreported their 2012 sales while they unloaded those extra cars since, naturally, they couldn't claim the sale again. That made it look like sales declined by 11 percent in 2012, even though they actually increased year-on-year. The adjusted sales number for 2012 totalled 45,896.
Volvo has met with its dealers and told them to stop the deceitful practice. The discrepancies weren't so great that the company plans to restate its historic numbers, but from now on, it apparently plans to occasionally check inventory to make sure the numbers match and that it has a true picture of how individual models are selling.
Volvo 850 T5 R pickup conversion is ready for a cool yule
Mon, 10 Dec 2012There are plenty of ways to get your holiday tree home from the farm, but few are so classy as this Volvo 850 ute. Built in Sweden and shipped to Belgium, the car wears all of the necessary kit to pass as a 850R, and with a turbocharged 2.3-liter five cylinder under the hood, this creation should have no trouble dashing through the snow. Looks like a mighty fine use of an otherwise derelict Volvo wagon to us, though we have to imagine all that torque steer and no weight over the aft would make for all sorts of silliness once the roads went slick.
Still, if it were our Sawzall, we'd be happier with the keys to a certain BMW M5 utility in our pocket. Or, you know, the 3 Series conversion BMW whipped up not too long ago. You can head over to Autofans.be for a closer look at the 850 ute.
