Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"It was in Average shape until about 2 months ago. It had a bunch of issues at once and after fixing a few I'm giving up on it. It needs a new Alternator and Battery. It also needs to have the convertible top adjusted and have the expensive sensor that acknowledges the top is closed replaced(car beeps at you now). There is a hole on the inside lining of the top. It needs two front tire in the near future, they were out of alignment for too long. The last time I charged it, it didn't want to drive when put in gear, so there may be a mechaninical issue. The seats are leather but are worn and in poor shape. The stiching has come out in most of the passanger side seat, a little of the drivers side seat, and a spot in the back seat. There are several scuffs, tears, and scratches directly below the back window, which is shown in one picture. The front and back bumpers are scuffed and scratched in several places, and the back bumper has a cracked spot about the size of a golf ball."

I'm sorry to sell it but a bunch of issues popped up at once, so my loss is your gain.  While I see a lot of women driving this car, it always seemed more masculine than most convertibles with its wide stance.  It ran well until about 2 months ago, with good acceleration when you put the pedal down.  It handled pretty well on turns and stopped well.  It is a fun car to drive and the styling still looks good today, especially with the upgraded factory rims.  The issues I ran into and why I'm selling are listed in the condition description, but I'll list them in three groups in terms of priority.  


The battery*, alternator*, convertible top sensor**, and whatever mechanical issue* it has need to be looked at before this car is drivable.  
The tires need to be replaced in the near future (2-3 months?) as they are worn wrong but currently in alignment and the convertible top needs to be adjusted to be functioning so you get the convertible experience.  
The front and rear bumper and the seats are scratched, scrapped, and scuffed, also there is a hole in the convertible top interior liner***, if you want to improve the cosmetics, those are the problem areas. 

*I was told the battery and alternator needed to be replaced by Don Beyer Volvo, they didn't ID any mechanical issue but I"'m guess there is one.
**I put the convertible top sensor in the drivable list because the car will have a bell ringing constantly until that sensor is replaced.
*** I have never seen any leaking whatsoever from the top

I think it is actually the 2.4L, but I'm not sure so I checked 2.3L.  It has the upgraded Dolby Surround stereo.  Power Windows and roof.

I am the third owner and I serviced it regularly at Don Beyer in Falls Church.  I purchased it from my mother and I know she did the same.  The original owner was a middle aged woman my mother purchased it from.


This is local pickup only.  The car needs work, so it will have to be towed.  Buyer will be responsible for the towing.

Watch this Volvo truck drive up a quarry road using hamster-powered steering

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

Volvo 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.

Volvo Concept Coupe is brand's 'next-generation P1800' [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013



Volvo is calling the Concept Coupe its "next-generation P1800."
The teasing can now officially come to an end - Volvo has released all the images, videos and details on its new Concept Coupe, and we're intrigued. The Swedish automaker is calling the concept its "next-generation P1800," and those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Fortunately, it's not all talk; there are clear links to Volvo's much-loved coupe in its shape, though we certainly wouldn't call the Concept Coupe 'retro.'

Volvo debuts new Drive-E four-cylinder engines

Fri, 16 Aug 2013


Volvo is introducing a new engine family based on its new Drive-E philosophy, which encompasses "all innovations made to reduce the impact on the environment," the automaker says. Less cylinders allows for less environmental impact, so the new engines are all four-pots. They also were designed to pair easily with Volvo's upcoming hybrid drive system, which "will reach power figures in the V8 territory" and play a "dominant part of the top end of [Volvo's] range," says Derek Crabb, Vice President Powertrain Engineering. Volvo also says we can expect "power curves that give exciting drivability compared with engines with more cylinders."
Volvo says some versions of the engine were designed targeting best-in-class fuel economy. There are both gasoline and diesel options, but the latter of which isn't scheduled for US consumption. Instead, the US will be offered two states of tune of the gasoline Drive-E engine for front-wheel-drive vehicles. Some of Volvo's current all-wheel-drive powertrains will remain available in the US until the company has transitioned solely to the new, fuel-efficient inline-fours.
