Description:
This car is truly a blast to drive! The get up and go this car offers is outstanding - if you haven't yet driven a T5, find one locally (if you're not near mine) and you'll understand why you want to be driving this car. The AWD functionality combined with the high-end Nitto SN2 snow tires give you year round performance. The Volvo safety speaks for itself. The interior is in excellent shape (except for the small exceptions listed) and will be detailed before final sale. The exterior has a few scrapes and dings, as are expected for an 8+ year old car, but nothing excessive. I will also be detailing the exterior before final sale to help reduce the number of surface scratches.

These AWD models are rare and this is only one of a couple now posted on ebay.  Don't miss
it!  Ask your questions sooner rather than later.  With the price set over $1200 below the retail NADA, you can expect this to move quick.

Below is a list of maintenance that I have recently performed myself or had a local, very highly rated, "indy" shop complete. All records will be included with final sale. After completing the front suspension replacement, I purchased the 3 year/36k mile unlimited alignment plan from Tires Plus/Firestone. This will transfer with the vehicle and is not owner based, so you'll get it with roughly 32 months/33k miles left of FREE alignments. So whenever you put new all-season/summer tires on in the spring, you can rest easy that you won't have to spend $80 every time.  When the timing belt/water pump/coolant were done, the shop performed a full pressure test and it passed without any leaks or issues.

Recent maintenance (completed in the last 5k miles) includes:
· OEM timing belt, timing tensioner, and pulleys
· OEM Water pump, seal, and bolts
· Genuine Volvo Coolant flush
· Genuine Volvo Oil Filter housing, gaskets, seals, and hose (Replaced under PCV Oil Trap
Extended Warranty 205)
· Genuine Volvo thermostat kit (thermostat, housing, thermostat cover, o-ring, gasket and three thermostat cover bolts)
· Genuine Volvo front struts, front strut mounts, and front strut bearings
· Genuine Volvo front sway bar endlinks
· Genuine Volvo upper-right (passenger side) motor mount
· Two (2) New accessory belts
· Cabin filter
· Dealer completed oil and filter change

This car has a clean title and is accident free. The asking price may be slighltly higher than some others available, however, keep in mind that over $3k in regularly required parts/labor has just been put into this car to get it in prime selling condition, which most of the others do not have completed and certainly will need.  It is also the AWD, which is the big price differentiator.


Blemishes:
All defects are cosmetic and were from previous owner. 

Interior: Driver door aluminum handle panel has many pin sized dents (hard to capture in included image but looks like it was from the owners ring as it is on the handle for pushing/pulling the door open); A couple very small dings/scrapes on center console aluminum; Each aluminum panel on all 4 doors armrests has some minor scuff from regular use;

Exterior: Driver mirror has 3"x.5" plastic piec of frame broken off; ~1' surface scratch on driver door; Multiple small paint chips on front bumper from general road use; Rear bumper has indent from another car's license plate bolts in a parking lot (They pulled to close); 3 small (~.5", ~1", ~3") width dents on passenger-side rear door panel (unable to capture in images as they are so small); Other general surface scratches from age of car with regular usage.


Inspections:
If you are an out of state buyer, I will work with you and your certified inspection agency to complete their inspection promptly.  Requests from local buyers to have the vehicle inspected at a local independent shop will be considered on a case by case basis.  National agencies such as Carchex are a great option and are affordable while also providing additional details/images of any defects with the car -
https://www.carchex.com/car-inspections.


Payment:
A deposit of $300.00 USD is required within 48 hours of purchase confirmation.  Buyer has 7 days from auction close to complete remaining payment amount via certified Cashier’s Check, money order, or cash (in-person only).


Shipping/Pickup:

I am happy to work with a shipping company of your choice. All shipping related expenses are to be paid for by the buyer. I suggest you research your own shipping methods with a website such as http://www.uship.com/ or follow the ideas ebay motors has provided.

If you are in the Colorado area, I can personally deliver the vehicle to within 60 miles of the Denver metro area at no extra charge, if you desire.  Pickup will be allowed as soon as payment has cleared.

Before any shipping or delivery, full payment must be received by the seller, and cleared, before the vehicle will be released for shipping or delivery.


Notes:
Please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to communicate with all legitimate buyers and answer any questions. If there are any specific pictures/angles you would like to see, please ask and I will do my best to capture it for you.

Please feel free to reach out via ebay and provide a phone number I can reach you at, if you wish to ask any questions or schedule a showing.

The vehicle mileage is current, however, it is still being driven regularly and can be expected to have a few hundred additional miles on it from regular driving.  The vehicle is being sold AS-IS and will come with no specific warranties.  Certain warranties may or may not be included with the recent services completed by McDonald Volvo and Platinum Auto Services in Denver, CO, but no such warranties are provided by the seller.

Geely plans to launch hundreds of satellites to guide autonomous cars

Wed, Mar 4 2020

BEIJING — China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group said on Tuesday it was investing 2.27 billion yuan ($326 million) in a new satellite manufacturing plant, where it plans to build low-orbit satellites to provide more accurate data for self-driving cars. Geely, one of China's most internationally-known companies due to its investments in Daimler, Volvo and Proton, is building the facilities in Taizhou, where it has car plants. It aims to produce 500 satellites a year by around 2025, with around 300 highly-skilled staff, it said in a statement. Geely's technology development arm, Geely Technology Group, launched Geespace to research, launch, and operate low-orbit satellites in 2018. Geespace will begin the launch of its commercial low-orbit satellite network by the end of this year, Geely said. Geely said low-orbit satellites would offer high speed internet connectivity, precise navigation, and cloud computing capabilities to cars with autonomous driving technology. Geely, which sold 2.18 million cars last year, is among global automakers from Tesla to Toyota to pursue autonomous driving technologies. It is building low-orbit satellites to meet demand for high-speed connectivity capabilities that can deliver fast software updates. From around 2025, Geely's cars will have more functions to connect to the satellites. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Volvo Cars' July sales rise 6% driven by European EVs

Fri, Aug 2 2024

COPENHAGEN — Volvo Cars' sales rose 6% year-on-year in July to 57,447 cars, driven by an increase in fully electric vehicles in Europe, the Sweden-based automaker said on Friday. Volvo Cars, which is majority-owned by China's Geely Holding, said in a statement that total sales in Europe, the biggest market for Volvo Cars, were up 40%, while sales in the United States and China fell by 11% and 31%, respectively. "We are pleased to report another month of sales growth, which is driven largely by the sales in Europe despite a generally challenging market environment," deputy CEO and Chief Commercial Officer Bjorn Annwall said in the statement. Sales of fully electric and plug-in hybrid models were up 49% compared to the same period of 2023, especially driven by Europe, and also accounted for 49% of all cars sold during July. Shares in the company fell 0.7% by 0724 GMT, outperforming Stockholm's benchmark stock market index which traded down 2%. Volvo Cars aims to have electric vehicles account for half of its sales by volume by mid-decade and hopes to sell only EVs by 2030.

Junkyard Gem: 1976 Volvo 244 DL

Sun, Sep 1 2024

Volvo did well enough selling the PV444/544, Amazon and 140 in the United States, but it was the Volvo 200 Series that really launched Goteborg iron into the American big time. Introduced here as a 1975 model, the 200 stayed in production for nearly two full decades and remains the most instantly recognizable Swedish car ever made. Here's an early-production 244, found in a Denver-area car graveyard not long ago. The 200 Series could be considered an update of the late-1960s-vintage 140 Series, since it's essentially the same car from the A pillars back. The main difference between the two is the MacPherson strut front suspension in the 200 Series. Volvo went through several naming systems for U.S.-market 200 Series cars over the decades, with the initial one being the easiest to decipher: a three-digit number followed by a two-character trim-level designation. The first digit in the number represents the series, the second represents the number of engine cylinders and the third the number of doors. There were six-cylinder 262s, 264s and 265s sold in the United States from 1976 through 1981, powered by the same PRV V6 engine that went into the DeLorean DMC-12, so it's incorrect to refer to all 200 Series Volvos as 240s. This car is the best-selling member of the 200 family, with a four-cylinder engine and four doors. This is a fuel-injected 2.1-liter SOHC straight-four, rated at 98 horsepower and 110 pound-feet; the 1975 240s received the 2.0-liter pushrod engine from the 140. There were two transmissions available in the 1976 240s: a four-speed manual or a three-speed automatic. This car has the automatic. Even thought it's a base DL model, this car's first owner paid an extra $456 for air conditioning (about $2,580 in 2024 dollars), on top of the $500 premium for the automatic transmission ($2,829 after inflation). That pushed the cost for the car up to $7,551, or $42,717 in today's money. You could get a swanky new 1976 Buick Electra Limited four-door hardtop for just $6,852, but those sensible Volvo buyers knew it was worth paying a premium for genuine Scandinavian safety and build quality. European-market headlights were strictly forbjuden on American roads during the early Malaise Era, according to federal safety regulations, so Volvo had to install these unsightly sealed-beam rigs on their cars here.
