This auction is for a 2000 Volvo S80. I purchased this vehicle in 2007 with just under 80K miles on it and have used it regularly for the past six years. These transmissions are known to be mediocre at best and this one started shifting rough at around 100K miles. It made it another 125.7K miles before it finally gave up. The other day when it happened, it only had reverse and second gear. The message board said "Service transmission - Urgent"! It sat for the past two days and I just tested it again, it shifted from 1st gear all the way through 3rd with no problem but wouldn't go into overdrive. I would consider the transmission to need a total rebuild or replacement. The motor still runs as strong as it ever has but it does have over 225,000 miles on it - they are a very impressive 6 cylinder. The interior is in decent shape but the leather shows wear. I don't believe there are any rips but look at the pictures - what you see is what you get. The body is in decent shape without any major dents or rust but the clearcoat started peeling off the hood and the top of the front left fender a couple years ago. I spray painted it which looked good for a while but now it just looks like flat black primer. The tires are in good shape with roughly 20K miles on them. Please take a good look at the pictures so you know what you're bidding on as this is an as-is auction. Shipping, or getting the car to wherever you're taking it, is the responsibility of the new owner. I will be happy to assist as I can to make it easy on you but it is your responsibility. Please ask all questions prior to bidding. Thanks for looking.

Jaguar turns down offers to join V8 Supercars, questions AMG, Volvo participation
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Rumors have swirled in recent weeks that Jaguar may be the next manufacturer to join the V8 Supercars racing series, made popular in Australia but now well-known in other parts of the world as well. Sadly, Jag's participation is not to be. In fact, it would be "insane," according to Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific Managing Director David Blackhall, for it to accept either of the two offers it has received to bring Jaguar into V8 Supercars.
Not only is Jaguar not interested in entering V8 Supercars, says Blackhall, it also fails to understand the recent entries from AMG and Volvo. "I don't know what it does for AMG to get flogged by a V8 Commodore week after week, but it's their brand, their issue. And the same thing will happen to Volvo to be honest."
Judging by Blackhall's statements to motoring.com.au, after not-so-serious consideration, the automaker decided the monetary commitment it would take to compete for wins would be more than any potential exposure would be worth, despite the fact that Jaguar has a 5.0-liter V8 to go along with what would seem to be a tailor-made rear-wheel-drive chassis. For what it's worth, one offer would have had Jaguar putting its name across an engine made by someone else, an option that was flatly turned down.
Volvo dealers pushing for V40 in America [w/poll]
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Not 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.
Volvo opens order books for XC90 First Edition
Wed, 03 Sep 2014The new Volvo XC90 breaks new ground in any number of ways. It's based on a new modular platform, packs new engines, introduces a new design language and incorporates a whole slew of new safety systems. Even in its sales approach, it takes Volvo into new territory.
In what Volvo calls an industry first, the first 1,927 examples of the new XC90 will be sold online. Those First Edition models, whose production numbers honor the year of the company's founding, will come fully equipped in T6 AWD guise with the twin-charged (but not hybrid) 316-horsepower engine, air suspension, Bowers & Wilkins audio system and 21-inch Inscription alloys, decked out in black with a tan Nappa leather interior, all for $65,900.
As you can see from the online store, ordering has officially begun. Get one while they're hot.
