98 Volvo wagon work/delivery/commuter wagon, very reliable and very safe. My nanny bought this last year and I loaned her the money and kept the title in my name. She drove my kids from LA to LV on a regular basis and not once was there any issue. She has since paid it off and has asked me to sell it for her. My knowledge of this car is relatively limited. I drove it today to the car wash, and then on the highway for 20-30 miles to run some errands. Solid and powerful engine, smooth transmission, suspension is stiff and tight. Surprisingly quick. No rattles or pulling or pulsating. Please keep in mind that it is 16 years old and is being sold with no warranty. As with any used car, please expect that it will need normal maintenance/repairs like any used car. We are not dealers or mechanics and below is everything we know about the car.

Last Year:

-New front suspension - brakes, rotors, bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, struts, and strut bushings.
-New matching tires last year, 85% tread remaining
-New timing belt and upper timing gear
-New Volvo spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor

-New fluids
-21.5 MPG City, 26 MPG Highway
-No smoking
-No overheating

-AC will need service to be cold again. Was not cold when she bought it. Mechanic charged it and it was cold, but he said there was a small leak. Sure enough, it's not cold anymore.
-Scratches throughout and door dings from normal use plus there is a rust spot on the lower passenger door under the molding.

-Right rear window doesn't go down

-I bumped into the gas door while it was open and knocked it off. Have the door in perfect condition, but the 16 year old plastic clips that secure it broke. It needs the 4 clips snapped back in (no tools required) to fit back onto the quarter panel.

Good power seats, sunroof, power locks, factory 3500 lbs tow hitch with wiring (hidden in boot), tinted windows, all lights (in and out) working, horn works, CD cassette deck works, heater is perfect, seat heaters work, and so on.

Geely chairman is now the single biggest investor in Daimler

Fri, Feb 23 2018

Li Shufu, the chairman and main owner of Chinese carmaker Geely, has built a stake of 9.69 percent in Daimler AG, the German carmaker said in a regulatory filing on Friday. The stake, worth nearly $9 billion at the current valuation for Daimler shares, makes Li the biggest single shareholder in the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars, trucks and vans headquartered in the German city of Stuttgart. A Daimler spokesman called the stake purchase a private investment by Li. "We are delighted, with Li Shufu, to have won over another long-term investor who is convinced of Daimler's innovative prowess, strategy and future potential," the spokesman said in response to a request for comment. "Daimler knows and respects Li Shufu as a Chinese entrepreneur of particular competence and forward thinking." Li's stake purchase makes him the top shareholder in Daimler ahead of the Kuwait Investment Authority, which owned 6.8 percent as of Sept. 30, according to Thomson Reuters data. Earlier this month, the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag reported that the Chinese industry giant was seeking to become Daimler's biggest shareholder, likely exceeding the 6.8-percent stake of the Kuwait Investment Authority. The paper said Daimler had reportedly turned down Geely's $4.5 billion offer for a 5-percent stake via a discounted share placement, saying that Geely could buy shares in the open market. Institutional investors currently own 70.7 percent of Daimler, and the company already has strong ties to Chinese automakers BAIC and BYD. Bild am Sonntag said the move was intended as a strategic alliance against Apple, Google and Amazon on autonomous and connected cars. And Reuters reported that Daimler wants to have bespoke "robo taxis" on the road quicker than Google's Waymo, and views Geely as a strong partner for that. Geely conversely is interested in Daimler's electric car battery technology, and sources quoted by the German paper say there are plans to establish joint electric car manufacturing in Wuhan, China, to meet China's smog-reducing quotas. Geely is developing the Lynk & Co. brand of electric and hybrid cars. Geely owns Volvo, which has enjoyed a renaissance under the arrangement, as well as the maker of London's black cabs. In December, it bought a stake in AB Volvo, the maker of Volvo trucks.

Volvo specs new 450-hp triple-charged four-cylinder engine

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

When Volvo lifted the veil on the new XC90 a little over a month ago, it announced that all versions would be powered by one engine design: a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder to be offered in various states of tune. That would range, Volvo said, all the way up to a high-output version with "around 400 horsepower," but while it wouldn't specify exact output, now it has.
The new High Performance Drive-E Powertrain incorporates two parallel turbochargers fed by a third electric turbo-compressor. Instead of feeding the cylinders directly, that third unit spools up the twin turbochargers, working together with a dual fuel pump pressurized to 250 bar.
The result is an output of 450 horsepower - far more than the existing 320-hp version and even more than expected. That also works out to 225 hp/liter, far more than the 177 hp/liter boasted by Mercedes-AMG's high-output turbo four and the 139 hp/liter in the Alfa Romeo 4C. Short of a rotary engine (whose actual displacement is the subject of great debate), you'd have to go up to something like the Koenigsegg One:1 (268 hp/liter) to find a higher specific output than what Volvo's boasting here.

Volvo Polestar celebrates STCC title with Black R edition S60, V60 and XC60

Sat, 21 Dec 2013

The relationship between Volvo and Polestar was forged - and forges deeper still - on the racetrack, where the latter fields the former's tin-top entries in the STCC, WTCC and V8 Supercars. And based on their success together in touring-car racing, Volvo has had Polestar amp up a number of its production road cars. What we have here is the latest.
This year Volvo and Polestar dominated the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship, taking both the drivers' and manufacturers' titles. So to celebrate, Polestar has rolled out a new Black R package for the S60 sedan, V60 wagon and XC60 crossover.
The package includes an upgrade to 329 horsepower for the T6 engine and to 230 hp for the D5, and further enhances with special wheels, a dropped suspension, special sport seats and more. Unfortunately the package is only being offered in Sweden, but you can scope out the details in the press release below and the photos in the gallery above.
