2006 Volvo Xc90 2.5t Sport Utility 4-door 2.5l - Very Well Preserved! on 2040-cars

Peoria, Illinois, United States

Thanks for looking at my add. I am moving overseas for work in few weeks and therefore selling my Volvo that I have owned for 5 years. 

Bought it at mileage 36k when I moved to the US (at Joe Perillo dealership in Chicago), the car now has ~93k miles on it and still runs great. There were no animals in the car or smokers for the time I have owned it. 

The car was in no accidents during the whole history, although I did back up into someone at like 2 mph (black car parked diagonally behind me at kiss&fly zone at airport in the dark, I did not see it). Nevertheless, an accident that I believe is shown in the car's history. There was no damage on my car and about $400 repair on the other car (I hit his drivers' door with my rear right bumper). Only repair I had to do about 3 years ago was leaking radiator: coolant was getting mixed with engine oil (oil getting into coolant). This caused thermostat rubber to corrode, therefore the system kept cooling so engine wouldn't reach operating temperature. Had this repaired for about $1800 (full service records are in my car) and since then the car had been running without any problems. No other repairs except regular maintenance and fluid changes. Had this car checked in my shop a month ago and it's all OK - no leaks, no problems with fluids, brakes are at 70% of their life (even though brakes vibrate a bit while braking..the car was sitting for 2 weeks and when I picked up it this started, just few weeks ago), tires are at 20% of their life so will need changing eventually. If there is demand I can have them changed for ~$400 (full price is ~$750) because I have thread warranty and the tires were wearing faster than guaranteed. This would be paid extra on top of the price of the car but it can save you few hundred bucks if you decide to change tires right away (the warranty is only good for me - expires with ownership change). 

As far as the interior and exterior goes, it's looking VERY good, I have been pretty much the only person using it >>> only the driver's seat had been used. Car would be great for a family - with 3 rows of seats can fit up to 7 people (even though 3rd row is narrow). Has tinned 2nd&3rd row/trunk seats, sunroof, electric seats (only front row), easy to fit 2 bikes in the trunk (taking 2nd and 3rd row seats down). Been parked in the garage most (70%) of the time. Paint has some very light scratches as well as one scratch on the front right bumper, but nothing really visible or worth repairing.

If you have any questions please shoot me an email, I am trying to me maximally transparent so now when I'm re-reading, this add may even sound a bit conservative. Truth is this car is in a great shape and was a good servant to me, may use few minor dent repairs that are not worth doing for me (maybe not even for you since engine is OK) but I believe if you invest few hundred (esp. tires) you'll have a car that will look just perfect. It runs great already. 

Happy bidding!

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.

Geely targeting US market in 2016 with help from Volvo

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

Following reports that it'd team up with corporate sibling Volvo on a Chinese-market car comes a report from Bloomberg that Geely would reattempt its entry into the US market. The Chinese brand had a display at the 2006 North American International Auto Show, but has been absent from the US scene ever since.
The Geely branded cars will be jointly developed with Volvo, and bank on the Swedish manufacturers reputation for safety and reliability. Geely's CEO, Gui Shengyue, explained, "Our acquisition of Volvo enhanced our image and overseas consumers are seeing us as an international company." This represents a change in rhetoric for the brand, after Geely Chairman Li Shufu hamstrung the idea of a closer pairing, citing fears that an association would harm Volvo's reputation. The news of projects between Geely and Volvo first broke last week, although it's unclear if the cars that end up coming to the US will be the same as those being sold in China.
As we reported last week, Geely is already aiming to be the biggest brand in the Chinese domestic market. With this move to the US market, it's also attempting to overtake Chery as China's largest automotive exporter. According to the Bloomberg report, Geely has already moved 180,000 units overseas, which is extremely close to the 184,800 vehicles sold by Chery in 2012. By 2018, Geely anticipates that 60 percent of its sales will be occur outside of the PRC.

Volvo offers up more details on 2015 XC90 and its new infotainment system

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

We have more details on the 2015 Volvo XC90 and the all-new, touch-heavy infotainment system that will debut with it. An expansion of the Sensus system, as we've shown you before, we now know the new system won't only sport a large, vertically oriented touchscreen, but a head-up display and the ability to manage the systems via wheel-mounted buttons.
Key to the entire experience are the large, portrait-oriented touchscreen, a head-up display and the thumb controls you can see on the face of the steering wheel in the image above. Volvo is claiming that this combination will be easier to use and, fittingly for the Swedish manufacturer, safer.
"Using the screen is so logical that it will become part of your muscle memory very quickly," said Dr. Peter Mertens, Volvo's senior vice president of research and development. "Information, navigation and media are high up and easy to check. The phone controls, application icons and climate controls are located low, comfortable to reach and touch. All of this logic is based on extensive usability and user experience research and the latest technology."
