NO RESERVE+++++++++GREAT MPG. I consistently get around 28mpg. Well used car with plenty of life left in it. These cars just keep chugging and chugging on. Personally I think that the 740 is the best car that Volvo ever made as far as dependability goes. I hear of people getting 500,000 miles or more on these things. The engine and transmission are bulletproof. Oil was changed every 3K and if something broke it was always repaired the right way. But make no mistake, this car is certainly used as the photos will show. There is rust here and there but nothing too terribly visible. Volvo seems to do a pretty good job with their galvanizing process. The paint is scratched and dented. (What appears to be rust on the tailgate is just paint coming off of the galvanizing) The interior leather is pretty cracked and there is no headliner. The front seats are Gorilla-taped underneath the colorful front seat covers. Front tires are OK, the rear are not great. (Will also include in sale one extra tire, extra rim, several extra hub caps, etc.) The car is in very good mechanical shape and just passed the NY State safety inspection. I have driven it from upstate New York to the Outer Banks and back for the last three years without a problem. This is a great student car (very safe) or train station vehicle (my use). I installed a nice SONY-APLINE-POLK CD Audio system. Sounds great! It would be easy to add a sub-woofer because I have done all the wiring already. The AC does not work but all the parts are there. (I think it would take more than a "shot of freon" to get it cooling.) Any questions, ask away. If your total number of feedback responses is less than "10" please contact me before bidding. If your rating is under "99.9%" please contact me before bidding. Your bids will be automatically canceled if you do not meet these criteria. I don't mean to be cranky but some knucklehead just cost me $60.00 when he decided not to show up after he won an auction. Please don't bid if you don't intend to purchase. Many thanks and happy bidding.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Next Volvo XC90 design teased
Thu, 29 Aug 2013When Volvo took the wraps off its Concept Coupe yesterday, the Swedish automaker said that while "the all-new XC90 is an entirely different type of car, you will recognize the connection instantly when it is revealed next year." We raised our eyebrows at this upon first read, but after seeing these photos, posted on Feber.se, Volvo certainly wasn't joking.
During a press conference where the Concept Coupe debuted, teaser images of the next XC90 were shown, and the connection between it and the conceptual two-door are obvious. The long, T-shaped lighting elements in the slim headlamps are certainly the most noticeable tie between the two vehicles, but the angular lower fascia openings seen here can also be found quite prominently on the Concept Coupe.
Feber.se also has a few images showing the new taillamp and interior designs of the XC90, as well. And not surprisingly, those two facets of the new crossover's DNA are also surprisingly close to the elements found on the Concept Coupe. It's interesting to see how the concept's C-shaped taillamps have been massaged for the more upright design of the XC90's rump, and inside the cabin, it appears Volvo is serious about this vertically oriented infotainment display.
Volvo brings a whole new 2014 showroom for Geneva's approval
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Sometimes it takes smaller automakers a bit longer than the industry average to rotate and freshen their product lineups. Volvo has taken a big swing for the 2014 model year in that regard, and has brought along a full product portfolio of new cars.
In the main, this means that the Swedish brand has fast-tracked facelifts for its already-attractive assemblage of sedans, wagons and crossovers. Volvo mainstays S60 and S80 have both gotten appearance modifications to freshen them for dealer lots, as well as added features inside the car. We're particularly happy to report that the spirited "60 cluster" models - S60, V60, XC60 - can now be had with optional paddle shifters on new, three-spoke steering wheels.
Below you'll find a whole bunch of image galleries of the revised Volvos, live and in person from the show floor in Geneva. For a bit more background on the Volvo updates, feel free to read our original announcement of the news or scroll down to catch the press release.
