I am selling this car because I purchased a newer one.  This vehicle has very high miles but still runs good, I would trust it to go anywhere.  Here is a list of things that are wrong with the vehicle:

-Has a small oil leak from the turbo return line.  I have the O-ring to fix it.  It doesn't leak very much maybe a quart every thousand miles.
-It needs a new hub on the rear for the ABS to work. There is a few teeth missing for the sensor so the computer throws a code.
-Drivers seat has a lot of wear.
-Sometimes the engine has a miss until it warms up.  It may need a new coil pack or spark plug wires.  I installed new spark plugs in September.
-Needs exhaust work.  The pipe on the middle muffler/resonator came off.  I would just take it to a custom exhaust place and have them do away with the middle muffer with a straight pipe.
-Needs a new inside door handle.  A rod became bent and broke the plastic clip on the door handle.  I fixed the rod inside the door but it still needs the door handle.  I have a pair of locking pliers hooked to the rod right now.
-It needs a new bumper cover, the one that is on it is cracked.  It also needs a fog light unit.  I have one but it is not on the car.  The other one was gone when I got the car. 
-It only has one key and no remotes.  This is all I got when I bought the car.  Car has keyless entry if you buy new remotes.
-Transmission shifts smooth but sometimes has a little vibration from 3rd to 4th.  It probably needs a new transmission mount. 
-Gas gauge works but it tells you that you are empty when you still have two gallons left.  This can be fixed with an adjustment to the float in the tank.  This car has an access to the fuel pump and sending unit underneath the rear seat.  You don't have to drop the tank to fix the gauge.  You can find a guide on the internet on how to get the gauge to be more accurate.  I can find the guide if you need me to.
-Sometimes the thermostat sticks open and the heater isn't has hot as it could be.  The plus side, the engine runs nice and cool.  It doesn't cost very much for a new Thermostat.
-No owners manual but it is free on Volvo's website.
-I had an aftermarket stereo in the vehicle, the factory one needs a code to get it to work.  You have to call a dealer, give them the VIN and they will give you the code to make the stereo work.  The radio worked fine before I took it out but it has a security device, when it looses power you need the code.
-Has a very small dent on the front passenger fender near the hood.
-Small crack in windshield on the far right of passenger side.  Not in drivers view and doesn't hinder state inspections.
-"Check engine" light is on because of the misfire mentioned above.

The good:


-It has all new motor mounts.
-Has synthetic engine oil.
-Engine sounds good and is very reliable was driving it 100 miles a day with no problems.
-A/C still works.
-Besides the front bumper, the body is in real good shape.  It has a very small rust spot on the front fender, that's all the rust that I can see on the whole car.  Undercarriage is in really good shape.
-Nice looking car for the age except for the front is chipped up.  Paint isn't perfect but still looks decent.
-New flex pipe installed.
-New spark plugs.
-Sunroof works and has no leaks.
-All power windows and heated seats work
-Clarion front door speakers installed.
-Nonsmoker.
-No smoke smell in the interior.
-Seatbelt in cargo area to hold items.
- 25-26 MPG
-Current PA inspection until next summer.
-New washer pump motor.
-Engine has plenty of power and transmission doesn't slip.
-Has tow hitch installed.

Kelly Blue Book in Fair condition is 2138. With a little bit of work, this would make someone a nice car.  I can send you more pictures of the car via email.



I AM SELLING THE VEHICLE AS/IS.  I HAVE LISTED ALL THAT I KNOW THAT IS WRONG WITH IT BUT THEIR MAY BE SOMETHING I HAVE MISSED.  IF THE CAR FAILS ON YOU IN ANY WAY, I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.  I WILL NOT SHIP THE VEHICLE.  THEIR IS NO INSURANCE ON THE VEHICLE SO I CAN NOT ALLOW TEST DRIVES.

Volvo Polestar reveals new V8 Supercars engine

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Volvo 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.

Volvo demos autonomous self-parking car concept

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

A number of companies are developing autonomous vehicle technology - Google and Audi come to mind - but Volvo is applying its work in the area to a particular usage case: parking. The Swedish automaker has the technology up and running in a concept vehicle, which it says can be dropped off at the curb by its owner and left to its own devices to enter and navigate a car park, then find and park in an available parking spot. Volvo says the process can even be reversed when the owner is ready to go, with the car leaving the car park on its own to meet its key-holder again at the curb.
The vehicle first interacts with Vehicle 2 Infrastructure technology, which places transmitters in the road itself to inform the car (and driver) if the self-parking service is available. The driver then hops out, activates the Self Parking function on his or her smartphone and then leaves the car to do its work. The car uses sensors, all seemingly hidden from view (an advancement of its own in this field), to autonomously navigate the car park, which includes interacting and adjusting to other cars, people and objects.
The technology used here builds off of Volvo's other work in autonomous vehicle research, namely the Safe Road Trains for the Environment (SARTRE) project in which the company managed to create a train of four cars autonomously following a lead truck at speeds up 56 miles per hour. Volvo says the first application of its autonomous research in a production vehicle will happen at the end of 2014 with some level of autonomous steering available in the next-generation XC90. See the system in action by watching the video below.

Volvo dealers pushing for V40 in America [w/poll]

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Not too long ago, Volvo effectively replaced three models with one. Those were the C30, S40 and V50, and their replacement came in the form of the V40. While its predecessors were available (at some point, anyway) in North America, the V40 isn't. And that's something that Volvo's players in the US would like to change.
According to Automotive News, both Volvo Cars of North America and its dealers are pressing the factory to reverse its decision and prepare the V40 for an American assault on the likes of the Volkswagen Golf and Audi A3. It's a game they won before with the current V60, which hasn't been available here, but is set to make the transatlantic voyage come the start of the new year.
This time, though, Volvo Cars of North America may have a bigger fight on its hands, because the V40 wasn't designed to meet US regulations. Getting it up to spec, then, may be a bigger challenge than it's worth. But if the American importer and dealer network makes its voice heard, the V40's replacement could be designed with US regulations in mind.
