Roslindale, Massachusetts, United States

Mileage: 140k Engine Mileage: 100k I bought this car with a bad engine and did the RN swap because I planned to do a k24, injectors, a tune and to use the car for a winter daily. Our timeline didn't work out and we didn't get the car done until now so I rather just sell it and free up the cash since winter is coming to an end. I'm sure you guys are familiar with the swap and know what needs to be done. I'm not trying to pawn the car off as some super dooper rare swaped car but its undeniable that its convient to already have it done and its hard to find 98s that clean up this well. The car runs perfect and I honestly wish I needed a daily but I don't and storing a million cars in Boston sucks. The engine swap was done by a friend of mine who has done several of these swaps and specializes in Volvo. The engine is a B5234T3 on which the VVT and secondary air system were eliminated. The car runs like it did from the factory and every feature works. Its extremely reliable and noticeably faster then a stock R. Work performed by me (100 miles on swap): - New timing belt, tensioner, idler, and water pump - New Tstat - New Serp belt and tensioner - Cam and crank seals - New intake and exhaust gaskets - New cap, rotor, wires, and plugs - PS resevoir - Hoses - Fluid flush - Upper motor mounts - lower mileage 16T turbo - Full Detail - Painted front and rear bumpers Worked performed recently: - Genuine Driveshaft - Brakes (they look to have low mileage on them) - Tires (also look to be pretty new) What it needs: - Upper shock mounts - Windshield (12 inch crack on far right side of windshield. Not in line of site) - misc interior pieces The exterior has original paint minus the bumpers and is in great shape. The car is rust free with the exception of a small spot on the tailgate (stupid molding). The interior has no tears and the front seats are still firm with nice bolsters but could use some attention. It has heated seats, tracs, dolby pro logic, and every other option these cars came with. |

Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
Limited-edition Volvo S60 Polestar priced at $59,300*, V60 at $60,900*
Fri, 01 Aug 2014You saw their US reveal at this year's Chicago Auto Show and read our driving impressions from Sweden. Now, if you act fast, you can actually own one of the very limited 2015.5 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar models coming to the United States. The order page for these slick Swedes is now online, but the slots are filling up about as quickly as these cars accelerate.
Volvo plans to build a combined 750 of these Polestar models for the world, but the US is being allocated just 120 of them. Prices start at $59,300 for the S60 or $60,900 for the V60 (*plus a $925 destination charge). The only option is color - either Black Sapphire or Rebel Blue. If rarity is playing a part in your decision, you might want to pick the S60. According to the reservation site, only 20 of the sedans in each color are making it over here; the rest are V60s.
As the top versions of their respective models, both Polestars are packed with features. They share a turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine rated at 345 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque with a six-speed automatic transmission and a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system. Acceleration to 60 miles per hour is claimed to take 4.7 seconds for the S60 or a tenth more for the V60 with a top speed of 155 mph. They are about more than just a hotter engine, though, with Öhlins shocks, six-piston brake calipers and 20-inch Polestar wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Check out the gallery for the full, official specs, and get to the order page soon, if you decide you need one of these limited Swedish sportsters.
Watch this Volvo truck drive up a quarry road using hamster-powered steering
Fri, 13 Sep 2013Volvo Trucks has been producing some of the most interesting and thrilling commercials around as of late, and this new one involves a live hamster. While you may wonder how could a hamster and a dump truck could be exciting, just know this ain't a Kia Soul commercial: the Swedish truck company enlists the help of a hamster named Charlie to steer an FMX construction truck up a winding road in Ourence, Spain. From the bottom of a quarry. We are not kidding you.
All we ask is that you watch the commercial below to see how it all goes down. If you like what you see, you can then check out a bonus 'behind the scenes' video and press release for details about how Volvo Trucks prepared for the stunt.
