1997 Volvo 850 Glt - Seized Engine on 2040-cars
Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, United States
Up for sale is my mother's 1997 Volvo 850 with approx. 167,000 miles. She is the second owner. Unfortunately her oil pan was punctured on a large pothole and all the oil leaked out and the engine has seized. She brought it to the mechanic who put in a new oil pan to find out that the engine was no good after $1100 in parts and labor. She has since gotten a new car, and I already have other Volvo projects and have realized that I won't get to this one for some time. It will be a great car for someone who could put a new engine into it and wants a reliable safe car, or for a mechanic to do and make a quick buck on.
The car is in great condition, aside from the fact that it will need a new engine to run. Everything else works as it should and it has been maintained meticulously. Has 4 fairly new tires (within the last year). The interior is in good shape and the exterior is pretty good aside for some chipping of the paint on the bumpers. The car has no major dents or dings. I have a clear title. Looking for $800 OBRO as is. Buyer responsible for full payment within 24 hours of auctions end. Payments accepted in the form of bank check, please email me for payment instructions. Vehicle is located on Martha's Vineyard. |

Polestar says goodbye to Volvo C30 in video tribute
Tue, 12 Mar 2013The Volvo C30 was put to its eternal bed a few months ago, but the tuners at Polestar have a little more eulogizing to do. The Swedish house of speed that has raced and reworked the little hatch since its introduction in 2006 wants the world to know what they've been through together, so it has encapsulated seven years of around-the-world action into three minutes and 28 seconds of track footage and champagne.
We're still waiting on word of a replacement for the funny little hatch, and while we lament what could have been, the video below proves that the C30 provided plenty of thrills for those outside of the US. And as you can read in our recent review of the Polestar-enhanced road-going C30, it provided a decent amount of fun for those of us in the States, as well.
Volvo Concept Coupe is brand's 'next-generation P1800' [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013
Volvo is calling the Concept Coupe its "next-generation P1800."
The teasing can now officially come to an end - Volvo has released all the images, videos and details on its new Concept Coupe, and we're intrigued. The Swedish automaker is calling the concept its "next-generation P1800," and those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Fortunately, it's not all talk; there are clear links to Volvo's much-loved coupe in its shape, though we certainly wouldn't call the Concept Coupe 'retro.'
Volvo sets high carbon price to assess sustainability of new projects
Wed, Nov 10 2021GLASGOW — Swedish automaker Volvo said on Wednesday it had set a price on carbon emissions from its operations of 1,000 Swedish crowns ($116.30) a tonne, part of attempts to ensure all future projects are sustainable. Announcing the move at global climate talks in Scotland as it joined an imitative to phase out fossil fuel cars and vans, the company said it had deliberately set a relatively high price to "future proof" itself. Negotiators at the COP26 talks are trying to finish rules to create an international carbon market. Put simply, it would allow some countries to pay others to cut emissions — with the aim of pushing much-needed cash into green projects around the world. Volvo said it was the first automaker to set such a price across its whole operations, as part of its aim to be a climate neutral company by 2040. The price is double the current cost of carbon in the European Union's carbon trading scheme. Going forward, every new car project would go through a "sustainability sense-check", with a carbon price assigned throughout the life of the vehicle, to ensure it would be profitable even under a much higher government-set price. “A global and fair price on CO2 is critical for the world to meet its climate ambitions, and we all need to do more,” Bjorn Annwall, chief financial officer, said in a statement. “We strongly believe progressive companies should take the lead by setting an internal carbon price. By evaluating future cars on their CO2-adjusted profitability, we expect to accelerate actions that will help us identify and reduce carbon emissions already today.” Also on Wednesday, Volvo signed up to the Glasgow Declaration on Zero Emission Cars and Vans, along with peers including Ford and General Motors, aiming to end production of internal combustion engines by 2040.
