2004 Volvo S40 T5 Sedan 4-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
I'm selling my 2004 Volvo S40 T5 because I'm moving across the country and can't bring it with me. This is such a fun car that just needs a little TLC. I bought it in Kansas in 2010 and used it mainly for commuting to/from work. It's a perfect car for summer time drives with the sunroof open.
Condition The car is good condition overall but needs a few repairs. The body is excellent condition, no major dings or scratches. The leather seats were just cleaned and conditioned, there are no tears/rips in any of the seats. New shocks/struts: About a month ago, the front end started making noises when going over bumps/uneven surfaces so I recently took it to PepBoys and a nearby Volvo dealership for diagnostics checks. They said that all four struts and shocks need to be replaced. I haven't driven it since then because I rely on my bike in the summer. Catalytic converter: The Volvo dealership recommended replacing the catalytic converter, which is causing the check engine light to be on. Power locks: Rear passenger door doesn't lock/unlock with the power locks or remote key. The power windows work and it opens/shuts fine but the power lock doesn't work. You can unlock the door by pulling the door handle and lock the door by pushing the lock down. Features - Leather seats - Heated seats for those cold Chicago winters - CD player - Power seats - Power locks - Power windows - Cold AC - Cruise Control - Sunroof Shipping/payment Buyer pays all shipping. Also available for local pickup in Chicago, IL. Money Order/Cashiers check, Paypal accepted. |

Apple announces CarPlay in-car iPhone interface
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Apple, maker of tech items like the iPhone, iPad and Mac line of computers, is extending its reach into the automotive market, making a fairly big announcement ahead of the Geneva Motor Show. No, it hasn't bought Tesla (yet). Instead, Apple has announced CarPlay, an all-new means of controlling an iPhone through your car.
Now, this doesn't strike us as some gimmicky thing. It's become increasingly common for automakers to take advantage of the high-speed data streams its customers enjoy on their smartphones in order to integrate navigation, traffic, audio and other infotainment items into a car's touchscreen interface. The Chevrolet Spark and Sonic are two prime examples of this move, using an iPhone's data stream for Siri integration and data for a third-party navigation app.
Owners will be able to plug in their iPhones to their cars via the USB port and gain control of a number of the device's functions, all through a car's touchscreen.
See Volvo's integration of Apple CarPlay in action
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Apple unveiled its new CarPlay touchscreen infotainment system earlier today, and Volvo has just released a video showing the system in action. The Cupertino tech giant is expected to announce partnerships with Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz to license CarPlay, as well, at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and will be working with even more manufacturers in the future.
The system pairs the driver's iPhone with the car's infotainment system and seamlessly allows them use the smart phone's functions and, at least in Volvo's demonstration, the car's climate control and seat heating systems. According to the video, the new system will be available "in the coming generation Volvo cars," which likely means the upcoming, next-generation Volvo XC90.
However, the system will not work universally. Apple will add functionality through an update to iOS 7 in the future for the iPhone 5, 5C and 5S. At launch other devices won't be supported. Scroll down to watch CarPlay work. We are expecting more details to emerge on the new infotainment system when the Swiss show opens tomorrow.
Volvo to build range-topping S90 sedan in China
Thu, 13 Nov 2014Volvo is furthering its deep ties in China by announcing a major expansion to its factory in Daqing that will equip the site to build its future S90 sedan. The automaker is promising to make the plant, "one of the most advanced car making facilities in China," according to its press release. Unfortunately, the company isn't specifying the amount being invested or how long the work will take.
Because the northeastern Chinese city of Daqing owns about 37 percent of the automaker, the location for the significant expansion isn't entirely surprising, especially since Geely owns a majority stake in the Swedish brand. The existing factory there employs about 700 people to build the original XC90 for the local market, but the upgrades will allow the plant to handle Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture modular platform.
To be fair, Volvo doesn't specifically call out the S80-replacing S90 by name in its announcement. However, it promises the first vehicle built in Daqing after the expansion will be a new premium sedan, and the upgrades will allow the plant to make "most innovative vehicles in its product range," and the range-topping sedan is widely expected to adopt the S90 moniker.
