1997 Volvo 850 Glt - Seized Engine on 2040-cars
Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, United States
Up for sale is my mother's 1997 Volvo 850 with approx. 167,000 miles. She is the second owner. Unfortunately her oil pan was punctured on a large pothole and all the oil leaked out and the engine has seized. She brought it to the mechanic who put in a new oil pan to find out that the engine was no good after $1100 in parts and labor. She has since gotten a new car, and I already have other Volvo projects and have realized that I won't get to this one for some time. It will be a great car for someone who could put a new engine into it and wants a reliable safe car, or for a mechanic to do and make a quick buck on.
The car is in great condition, aside from the fact that it will need a new engine to run. Everything else works as it should and it has been maintained meticulously. Has 4 fairly new tires (within the last year). The interior is in good shape and the exterior is pretty good aside for some chipping of the paint on the bumpers. The car has no major dents or dings. I have a clear title. Looking for $800 OBRO as is. Buyer responsible for full payment within 24 hours of auctions end. Payments accepted in the form of bank check, please email me for payment instructions. Vehicle is located on Martha's Vineyard. |

Volvo still undecided on offering plug-in hybrid versions of all models
Thu, 03 Jul 2014The automotive world is only a few months away from getting its first real glimpse at Volvo's big gamble with the unveiling of the next-generation XC90 (pictured above as the Concept XC Coupe). We're already getting a preview of the revolutionary upgrades with the introduction of the Swede's Volvo Engine Architecture family into some of its 2015 models, like the recently driven S60. These changes are just the start, though. The real magic could be in the powertrains.
Dean Shaw, Volvo Cars North America vice president of corporate communications hinted to Autoblog a few months ago that every model sold in the US could come in a plug-in hybrid variant, starting with the new XC90. Despite confirmation rumors that this has now come to pass, Shaw told AutoblogGreen that the only thing Volvo is confirming right now is that the platform is capable of that. "We haven't confirmed that all US Volvos would be available with PHEV," he said.
Shaw did confirm that that XC90 will come with a gas and plug-in hybrid powertrain that offers "around 400 horsepower." According to Plugin Cars, the new XC90 will be unveiled in August and will make its public debut at an as-yet-unnamed auto show in the fall. Also, sometime during the 2016 model year, a plug-in hybrid variant will be added to its lineup.

Volvo to test 100 self-driving cars on Swedish roads [w/video]
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Autonomous vehicles are increasingly being tested on public roads around the globe, including Nissan in Japan and Google here in the US, and now Volvo is preparing to test its own self-driving cars on the streets of Sweden. In conjunction with the state government, Volvo's Drive Me project kicks off next year, starting with the development of customer research and infrastructure technology before setting 100 self-driving cars loose on the streets of Gothenburg in 2017.
These 100 cars will be in the hands of customers, and the tests will help Volvo and the Swedish government track varying aspects of self-driving cars including economic benefits, consumer confidence, traffic flow and passenger safety. The technology being developed by Volvo uses not only on-board radar and sensors but also map data gathered from the cloud, and it controls all driving systems including the brakes, throttle and steering. Drivers can engage and disengage the car's autonomous drive mode by pushing a button on the steering wheel, and the technology will also allow for a self-parking feature.
While the cars shown in this demo are S60 models, the test vehicles will be based on Volvo's upcoming Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), which underpins future models like the next-gen Volvo XC90. Scroll down for a video and press release marking the announcement.
