This is a 1996 Volvo 850 "R" with 291,968 miles on it. It is in very good condition. The only thing not working at this time is the air conditioning. The car has power windows, power locks, a power moon roof, cruise control, seat heaters, power mirrors, rear area cover that retracts, power seats for driver and passenger. AM-FM stereo with cassette and CD, enhanced stereo as part of the "R" package. The "R" designation means that this is a Porsche designed performance package automobile. It has a computer chip that gives the turbo extra boost. It develops 243 horsepower. The wheels are 17" diameter spoke wheels. The upholstery has suede inserts. The door panels are leather trimmed. The dash has a dark walnut / beryl looking trim accent.
The car has been Extreme Dynamat lined for sound deadening. Inside the doors are lined, as well as the rear tire well. It was done before I got the car and I am not sure where else is lined.
This car is smooth and powerful. Just a tap of the throttle sails you up to highway speed when entering an on ramp. The tires are in near new condition. The brakes are new. It has a new front wheel hub. It has a new catalytic converter. It has a new timing belt, installed 1000 miles ago. It is registered in California until May of 2014. It has a fresh smog check done this week. The stereo works very well. It has a bit of turbo lag that can be adjusted out I have been told. As long as you roll on the throttle easily, you will never notice it. The upholstery is in very good condition. The roof of the car has been repainted. The color matched the alloy wheels. It has a factory roof rack.
Call me to make a direct deal at 760-481-8710. If we can make a deal before 12 hours are left on the auction I can close down this auction. It is being advertised locally and may be closed as soon as I can make a deal.
I would consider a trade for an inboard / outboard ski boat with an open bow and a V-6 engine.

Future Polestar Volvo models could feature diesel, EV tech
Tue, 20 May 2014Volvo's Polestar sub-brand has made the transition nicely from being the company's racing arm to building some seriously cool, Swedish cars. Now that it has a few models under its belt, it plans to grow larger and greener. The next-generation of Polestar-tuned vehicles are rumored to include high-performance hybrid and diesel powertrains.
While it still doesn't have the brand recognition of BMW M or Mercedes-Benz AMG, Polestar is on the growth path. It's representatives recently told Autoblog that its latest, tuned S60 and V60 models "mark the start of an extended production car model range." In addition to that expansion, Volvo has given its performance division a greater responsibility for engineering future vehicles, according to Autocar. It even helped develop the new Drive-E engine, which we quite liked when we took it for a spin in an S60.
Polestar's boss hinted at a hybrid model to Autocar, a move that seems obvious once you think about it. The Drive-E engine was designed from the beginning to accept hybrid layouts. The division's plan is to put and electric motor on the rear axle to both increase torque off the line and provide all-wheel drive. As Drive-E also offers diesel variants, that is in the cards as well for the future, but the company didn't go into much detail. Polestar appears to be the upcoming shooting star of the performance car world.
Volvo Concept Estate is a brown shooting brake, need we say more?
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Set for a debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show next week, images of the Volvo Concept Estate have found their way onto the web courtesy of Jalopnik. If the Concept Coupe from Frankfurt were a modern P1800, the Concept Estate is a modern P1800ES.
We briefly detailed the finale to Volvo's trio of concept cars earlier this week, when images of it poked out finished in a custom car cover. Now, with a batch of uncovered images at hand, we're able to see just how pretty this brown beauty really is.
Below the beltline, this is pretty much the Concept Coupe, featuring the same T-shaped headlights and wide, rectangular grille. Above the beltline, though, things get fun. The long, glass roof terminates in a squat, wide rear end which is set off by a pair of meaty haunches. The taillights, meanwhile, expand on the style shown on Volvo's Detroit concept, the Concept XC Coupe. And that hatch opens up into a rather cavernous rear end.

Tue, 10 Sep 2013They may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the marque, but Volvo has a long and surprisingly lustrous lineage of coupes in its stable, from the P1800 to the 142 to the Bertone 262C to the 780 Bertone and the recently departed C70. Few of those two-doors have stood the test of time the way the voluptuous P1800 has, a fact the company's designers are apparently keenly aware of. It is that exact model that Volvo says they've drawn upon for this new Concept Coupe, and while the showcar bears little resemblance to the smaller P1800 that inspired it, both cars have a visual grace and presence that has often eluded the brand's grasp.
While not completely ripping up the design language established by the 2001 S60 in 2000, the Coupe Concept is arguably the most radical design statement we've seen from Volvo in well over a decade. Gone is the tone set by the drop-shoulder hood, and in its place is a more flowing, organic look, with the generous proportions of a grand tourer. The concept is a particularly nice piece of work, from its new T-shaped daytime running lamps to its pronounced rear fenders that subtly echo those of the P1800. Interestingly, Volvo informs that the first production model to benefit from this new aesthetic will be the next-generation XC90 crossover - and judging by the teasers we recently saw, this language looks like it'll translate nicely to the CUV's larger shape.
The Concept Coupe is powered by a through-the-road plug-in hybrid architecture composed of a twincharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder powering the front wheels and an electric motor servicing the rears. All-in, Volvo says the system is good for 400 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque.
