There wre two incidents involving insurance claims – one door ding and the second involved a tree branch that landed on the hood. In both cases it was cosmetic damage. The car has never been in an accident. Two mechanical issues which were solved - one with a slower than usual acceleration (solved at the ECU level) and a clunking in the front end (solved by replacing a suspension arm). All service and repairs (mechanical and body) were performed at the dealership (Carling Motors, Ottawa). The major 100Km. service interval was just performed ($1000) as well as new front brake pads and rotors ($450). The car's ECU (Electronic Control Unit) has been flashed with the latest version. Current State: The car has three door dings and 4 smallish scrapes on the bumper and rims and a few nicks in the interior. Everything electrical and mechanical is functioning perfectly. The acceleration is as strong as it was 10 years ago (therein lies the difference between Volvo and the Germans). The paint and interior are exceptionally clean. The highlights of this car are; low mileage; predicted dependability; comfort (the seats are best in the business); performance; safety; space; a very good audio system. Durability: Volvo tries to build all their cars with longevity in mind. When they succeed the results are extraordinary and I believe this S80 is one such example. Below I have listed a number of web sites below that post professional and owner's reviews on this car. As you read through the reviews keep this in mind - “Generally, if you take care of a car, it will last.” After owning 3 Volvos over 20 years I know this to be true. (Please note some of the reviews are related to the normally aspirated 2.8 litre and to earlier model years). There are the usual amount of haters. http://www.cars.com/volvo/s80/2004/expert-reviews http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/2004-Volvo-S80-Reviews-c5987 http://www.carsurvey.org/reviews/volvo/s80/2004/ Idiosyncrasies: Typical of this generation of S80's is an intermittent clunking noises from the undercarriage. The noise usually appears after a slow impact bump, such as a unusually high speed bump. It may hang around for a few hours and then quiets down. These noises are a result of a misaligned cover at the top of the front struts. It is not a structural nor safety issue. Repalcing the covers is not worth the money. BTW - I haven't heard anything for almost two months now. There is a K&N air filter installed as a performance enhancement. While it does improve performance the in-city gas mileage is reduced by 22-25%. Funny though, the highway mileage stays the same. The installation of the standard Volvo air filter would bring the mileage back to normal. Price: $7900 The Canadian Black Book lists the Trade-in value (what the dealer will give you) between $5141 and $7991. The same site suggests the average asking price is $8943. http://www.canadianblackbook.com/black-book-values/index/display/neworused/used/year/2004/make/Volvo/postalcode/K1S0B6/model/S80/mode/marketanalysis/trim/T6/style/4D%20Sedan/ VMR Canada (associated with Edmonds) lists the S80 as wholesale $7900 and retail $10,075. http://www.vmrcanada.com/value_menus/canprices/04vv80es.html The current national average (Auto Trader, Kijiji, eBay) is $8060 for cars with 50-100% more mileage. Given all of the above I think the asking price is reasonable (and relaistic).

These are the cars with the best and worst depreciation after 5 years
Thu, Nov 19 2020The average new vehicle sold in America loses nearly half of its initial value after five years of ownership. No surprise there; we all expect that shiny new car to start depreciating as soon as we drive it off the lot. But some vehicles lose value a lot faster than others. According to data provided by iSeeCars.com, trucks and truck-based sport utility vehicles generally hold their value better than other vehicle types, with the Jeep Wrangler — in both four-door Unlimited and standard two-door styles — and Toyota Tacoma sitting at the head of the pack. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited's average five-year depreciation of 30.9% equals a loss in value of $12,168. That makes Jeep's four-door off-roader the best overall pick for buyers looking to minimize depreciation. The Toyota Tacoma's 32.4% loss in initial value means it loses just $10,496. The smaller dollar amount — the least amount of money lost after five years — indicates that Tacoma buyers pay less than Wrangler Unlimited buyers, on average, when they initially buy the vehicle. The standard two-door Jeep Wrangler is third on the list, depreciating 32.8% after five years and losing $10,824. Click here for a full list of the top 10 vehicles with the least depreciation over five years. On the other side of the depreciation coin, luxury sedans tend to plummet in value at a much faster rate than other vehicle types. The BMW 7 Series leads the losers with a 72.6% drop in value after five years, which equals an alarming $73,686. BMW's slightly smaller 5 Series is next, depreciating 70.1%, or $47,038, over the same period. Number three on the biggest losers list is the Nissan Leaf, the only electric vehicle to appear in the bottom 10. The electric hatchback matches the 5 Series with a 70.1% drop in value, but since it's a much cheaper vehicle, that percentage equals a much smaller $23,470 loss.

Cadillac tops Tesla in Consumer Reports semi-automated driving test
Thu, Oct 4 2018General Motors' Cadillac outscored Tesla in a new ranking of partially automated driving systems tested by Consumer Reports and released on Thursday. The highly influential nonprofit organization, which tests and rates a variety of consumer products from appliances to vehicles, said it compared Cadillac's Super Cruise and Tesla's Autopilot with similar systems from Nissan and Volvo. Nissan's ProPilot Assist was ranked third and Volvo's Pilot Assist fourth. Consumer Reports said it has been testing partially automated driving systems for several years but elected to conduct a formal study intended for publication, because "we are at a tipping point where they are now going mainstream," according to Jake Fisher, director of auto testing. The organization said its tests, conducted on a private track and on public roads in Connecticut, were designed to measure the systems' ability to automatically control steering and speed in certain situations, while helping drivers pay attention and regain manual control of the vehicle when required. CR noted that any of these systems can increase driving risk if used in inappropriate situations, or if drivers become inattentive or over-reliant on them. While they can help relieve driver stress and fatigue, Consumer Reports said, the partially automated systems are "not intended to be self-driving features." The systems typically use cameras, radar and other sensors, as well as mapping data, to monitor location and traffic conditions and help keep a vehicle centered in the lane at a safe distance behind other cars. Each system has limitations. Cadillac's Super Cruise, for instance, only functions on divided highways that have been mapped by GM. In contrast, Tesla's Autopilot can be used even on small, curvy roads with poor lane markings, but "operates erratically in those situations," Consumer Reports said.The organization tested Super Cruise on the Cadillac CT6; Autopilot on the Tesla Model 3, Model X and Model S; ProPilot Assist on the Nissan Leaf and Infiniti QX50; and Pilot Assist on the Volvo XC40 and XC60. Consumer Reports said Cadillac's Super Cruise did "the best job of balancing high-tech capabilities with ensuring the car is operated safely and the driver is paying attention." Tesla's Autopilot was cited for its capability and ease of use, while Nissan's ProPilot Assist did a better job than Autopilot or Volvo's Pilot Assist in keeping drivers engaged.
Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
