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 pranks newest valet on the Italian Riviera

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

Being a valet on the Italian Riviera seems like a pretty sweet gig for a young guy. Not only do you get to watch beautiful people coming and going all day and night, but there's the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a plethora of exotic sports cars. Of course, being responsible for those expensive vehicles has to be pretty nerve wracking to get used to on the first day.
In a new commercial, Volvo pranks a new valet at the San Remo Casino to see how he would handle a surprise showing up on the red carpet. If the look on his face in the screenshot above doesn't show it, he's pretty shocked by what he sees. We don't want to spoil the reveal, so just watch the ad to find out. Afterward, if you're interested in the details behind how Volvo made it happen, you can check out a short, making-of documentary, here.

Volvo shows inflatable child seat concept [w/video]

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Volvo is bringing its emphasis on safety and design to the littlest members of the family with its concept for an inflatable, rearward facing child safety seat. The design is meant to help traveling families by offering a lighter and less bulky alternative to traditional car seats.
The design is quite ingenious. The seat is covered in drop-stitched fabric, which fills with air to create the form of the seat. An electric motor in it allows inflation and deflation in less than 40 seconds, according to Volvo. It weighs less than 5 kilograms (11 pounds) and folds small enough when collapsed to fit into a bag. It even has a Bluetooth connection, so parents can begin expanding it remotely.
The inflatable seat in the brainchild of Lawrence Abele, Volvo's design manager at its Monitoring and Concept Center in Los Angeles, CA. "For many, travelling with young children is a challenge; any assistance to simplify the parents' life with young children is a great thing," he said in a statement released by Volvo. The chair remains a concept for now, and the automaker isn't saying whether it's going to put it into production, but it's a clever solution to a common problem. Scroll down for a video showing it in action and to read the release.

Heico jacks up Volvo V40 Cross Country to create XC40

Sat, 24 May 2014

Because life isn't fair, we don't get the stylish wagon known as the Volvo V40 in the United States. That means we don't get its soft-roading cousin, the V40 Cross Country. So, naturally, if Volvo tuner Heico Sportiv ever produces this ruggedized, XC-styled V40 Cross Country, it most certainly wouldn't cross the pond, either.
That makes us sad, because despite holding a tiny bit of contempt for small luxury crossovers, this is a very, very cool looking vehicle. It's just a render right now, but Heico Sportiv is looking to offer the kit to V40 Cross Country owners who want a smaller version of the Volvo XC60.
Converting a V40 CC into an XC40 would start with some suspension tweaks. The ride height would be raised by just over an inch, in order to improve the looks of the soft-roader and deliver a more CUV-like ingress and egress. New shocks would also be fitted, as well. Wheel-arch extensions were also added to complete the look.
