2000 Volvo V40 Wagon Wow!! 4 Cyl Turbo L@@ks Runs Drives Gr8 I Bet You Buy This! on 2040-cars
Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States
hi and thnx. ok, ok... I do happen to like Volvos. we have had 240's, 850's, a V70 or two, and yes... I had an S80 sedan for 3 years, loved it. but, hey... this smaller version of the V70 is like a pleasant surprise !! it is 85% in size, of my old V70 1998 wagon, the same engine (less one cylinder, total 4 here) and it DOES have the cool turbo assist. guess what? this car is a winner. I like the slightly more trim size for me and my family, the economy is better and should approach 30 MPG, the turbo works like a dream and gives you bigger car oomph and great, solid performance.
you really do know, right away, that you are in a semi-premium European car with an excellent engine, great power to weight, FWD and classy lines. what is wrong with that? just because you want a great car cheap on eBay (and I want to sell), no shame to your game here ~!~ fine, tough and strong VOLVO build quality, nice package, great ride and full comfort with great features. drive safe and sound; around town or blasting down the highway on a commute or weekend romp... this car does it all in fine fashion, look great, drive smart and enjoy the ride !@!
bright and shiny paint and panels, leather, power seats, stereo, cold a/c, great heat, power locks, ABS, airbags, moon-roof, correct factory alloy wheels, 4 wheel disc brakes, low-boost turbo ( power and economy ), like new rubber, full gauges, power windows, mirrors, cruise and more. all full function and the car runs great.
but, this is an older car and not perfect. drivers seats has some split stitching (still comfy), there may be a small bump or scuff, factory mats are missing, no cargo cover that I see. please see all photos, I took all the good and bad shots I could. near ding, dent and scratch free, this svelte black wagon looks and rides fine. no rust, no damage, nothing broke or busted.
car is as shown and at my house. why not bid, buy and drive it to your home?? stop by anytime, or just call and email... happy to help ~!~

Volvo and Ericsson to take Spotify on the road
Thu, 27 Dec 2012Volvo is working to bring Spotify to its vehicles. Ericsson has announced it will provide its Connected Vehicle Cloud service to Volvo for future products, and Spotify streaming music is part of that service. Like Toyota Entune and other infotainment services, the Connected Vehicle Cloud will use the driver's smartphone as a modem to stream music and serve as a base for other applications, all of which will be controllable through the vehicle interface. Expect to see the service launch in 2014, though Ericsson stresses later generations will feature an embedded modem with its own SIM card that will piggyback off of the owner's phone data plan.
But that system won't show up in production vehicles until at least 2016. In the interim, Ericsson says it will continue to work with government agencies on its car-to-car communication efforts. That program could eventually help pave the way toward autonomous road trains capable of helping vehicles travel safely together while also reducing traffic congestion. Wired has a full break down of the Connected Vehicle Cloud strategy. You can read it here.
Tina Fey sits down with Seinfeld for new CiCGC
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Recently Jerry Seinfeld went out for a videotaped cup of coffee with Jay Leno in a vintage Gmund Porsche. Switching coasts and cars, this time New York's own son returns to his city for a jaunt in a 1967 Volvo 1800S with fellow New Yorker Tina Fey for the latest episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
The trip takes them uptown to Cuban coffee shop Floridita in Harlem, then back downtown to a pastry shop. On the way, Jerry calls out a photo shoot for using a fake Porsche, and Fey admits she doesn't have a driver's license. Driving cars, she says, "is like Twitter to me." Which she also doesn't do - she lasted seven tweets in 2009.
You can check out the episode below as they go in search of coffee, the rare guanabana/soursop juice, Jerry's even more elusive product placement and the last Cronut in NYC.
How does a massive Volvo truck compare to a Koenigsegg on a track?
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Volvo Trucks thinks that its latest FH semi truck has a little sports car DNA mixed in with the ability to haul heavy loads thanks to its novel dual-clutch gearbox. And the company's marketing department certainly has an intriguing strategy to get the word out about the big rig's sporty traits. First, it staged a prank on an unsuspecting valet on the Italian Riviera, and now the FH has lined up a track battle around the Knutstorp racetrack against Sweden's ultimate supercar - a Koenigsegg One:1.
Fifth Gear host Tiff Needell takes the reins of the big Volvo and spends a little bit of time talking up its I-Shift Dual Clutch gearbox. However, the real fun is seeing the FH taking on the One:1. Of course, a head-to-head battle would hardly be fair against these extremely mismatched opponents. Instead, the challenge is for the 1,360-horsepower Koenigsegg to lap the track twice in the same time or less than the semi can do it once.
You just have to watch the video to see how if the big rig rises to the challenge. Also, scroll down to read Volvo Truck's press release touting the new gearbox, and check out the company's YouTube channel for more views of the race and a behind-the-scenes look.
