2008 Volvo C30, 80k Miles, 6 Speed, Well Optioned, Very Clean, All Records on 2040-cars
Kinsman, Ohio, United States
|
Up for auction is my completely stock Volvo C30 in Cosmic White/ Java. This is a terrific little car. I bought it last December from the second owner. I have all service records/ 2 keys/ all manuals and clear title in hand. It was sold new in North Carolina and then went to Cincinnati, Oh before coming up to Cleveland. I'm only selling it because I now need a bigger vehicle.
Mechanical: The car is in excellent mechanical condition. I have all of the service record from both previous owners. It has had regular oil changes done at the dealer all its life. Since I don't trust people to do my maintenance, I've done 2 Mobil 1 oil changes myself while owning it using Mann filters. About 2000 miles ago I also did brakes all the way around with Bosch pads and Meyle rear rotors. The front rotors were still good and true with no scoring. They were lightly touched up. While doing the brake work I also flushed the brake fluid and replaced it with ATE Type 200 fluid. I have not found any mechanical problems. It drives straight and smooth down the road with no service lights and the A/C is ice cold. It did 33mpg on the highway last month on a trip from Ohio to North Carolina. The Pirelli P-Zero Rosso tires have lots of tread left on them. Exterior Cosmetics: The Volvo is in excellent shape inside and out. Both previous owners, and myself, have cared for the car. There are no door dings that I have found and only a few very light dings in the roof and the hood. They are so small I can't even get a photo that shows them. There is one small mark on the lower part of the rear bumper and some chips in the front bumper. Nothing serious. I have genuine Volvo touch up paint and clear that is new in the package. I've polished and waxed it a couple times while I've owned it. The wheels all have a little cosmetic imperfections. There is the typical worming of the clear coat and a few chips and one mark that I put in when a brushed a curb. They still are very presentable. There is no rust on the car. Interior Cosmetics: The interior is clean and fresh smelling. NOTE: The satellite radio on the dash is on with clean-removing 2 way tape and is not included. The seats and carpets are clean. There is a very tiny wear spot on the drivers seat (shown in picture) about .25" long on the edge of the seat. For those who have not driven a Volvo before, these have to be the most comfortable highway cruiser seats of any car I have owned (and that's 14 cars in 6 yrs). All electronics work as they should. Options: This is a well optioned car. I looked for a long time to find one with all of the options this has.
Payment: Deposit of $200 via PayPal within 48 hours of end of auction. Full (cleared) payment is due before shipping. Cash or bank check for balance. It's not in my way, so the pick up date is not critical. Shipping: I would be happy to ship it at buyers expense after payment is clear. Also, I would be happy to pick up the buyer at the Cleveland Hopkins airport (CLE) and you can drive it home. Email me for more info/ pictures or to come take a look. It's also for sale local and I will cancel the auction if it sells locally. Thanks. |

This Volvo truck is for the birds... literally
Fri, 16 Nov 2012If you were mentally scarred by the Alfred Hitchcock thriller The Birds, you may not want to watch this video. For everyone else, this is a rather perplexing event. It appears that thousands of pigeons are released from a Volvo truck at the command of a whistle. It looks visually stunning, but for what purpose? Well, we're not entirely sure, but it looks to be the simultaneous release at the start of a major pigeon race.
Now, we don't suspect that Volvo has eschewed its self-titled Volvo Ocean Race for a more avian-inspired competition. We're also not quite sure where this competition is being held, but it may be an annual event, as we also found a similar video with a different MAN rig on YouTube that was posted in 2011. but if you have even the slightest case of Ornithophobia, you best steer clear of this feathered mob. Otherwise, check out the video of this massive flock on the move in the video below. We've even thrown in a video of the gas station scene from Hitchcock's 1963 classic to get you in the mood.
Volvo Polestar reveals new V8 Supercars engine
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Volvo may be better known for turbo fives and inline fours, but in 2005 it launched the XC90 with a new eight-cylinder engine built for it by Yamaha. Fast forward to this past June when Volvo announced its intention to enter Australia's V8 Supercars series, where it would compete with the likes of Ford, Holden, Nissan and Mercedes-AMG. This is the engine with which it intends to do so.
Revealed this weekend at the Sydney 500, this competition-spec powerplant is based on the same B8444S that powered the XC90 and S80 (not to mention the Noble M600), but tuned for racing duty to be shoehorned into the new S60 touring car. The 60-degree aluminum block has been bored out from 4.4 liters to 5.0, its compression ratio boosted to 10:1, modified to run on E85 bio-ethanol and its redline increased to 7500 rpm. Volvo also promises a unique engine note from its new racers.
While Volvo and its racing partner Polestar haven't released official output numbers, regulations call for outputs between 620 and 650 horsepower - in any event, a whole lot more than the 311 hp it produces in stock form. (Noble managed to squeeze that much out of the same block, but that required twin turbochargers while this unit remains naturally aspirated.) Scope out the details in the press release below and the photos from the reveal in the gallery above.
Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
