Greetings everyone:) 

IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE EVERYONE TIME I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS VEHICLE IN EVERY LITTLE DETAIL I COULD THINK OF. SO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT! 

1996 Volvo 850R wagon up for sale with currently 146xxx miles. If you're a car enthusiast, you already know how RARE this particular model is. Especially in this kind of condition. I have taken it on a few local Volvo club ride alongs and received quite a few compliments. As you can see, this Volvo has been very well taken care of. Spending a majority of her life behind closed doors. The original paint is still in stunning condition. The color is "Flame Red", and was limited in production.

The interior is pretty much just as impressive and shows very few if any flaws. It is all tear free and still provides very comfortable support. The rear seats have barely been used. All of the wood grain trim is still crack free. The sunroof opens and closes with ease and does not leak. This wagon is very spacious and can easily fit two people to "camp out" in the back with the seats folded down which just takes seconds. The window tint gives you full privacy. It also has two separate rear cargo covers that easily pull out and retract, as well as a Weather Tech waterproof cargo liner. 

This Volvo has never been smoked in, and is free of any accidents or "fender benders". Speaking of safety. This model has a front and side airbag system, along with front and rear anti-roll bars. Both the front and rear suspension are still very solid and I have also had a Torsion Bar installed which is a $185.00 upgrade. This car handles and performs like a dream! While the original paint is near perfect, there are only a few spots with minor surface scratches. The front bumper has very low clearance so this is very difficult to avoid ( see pics ). It would be considered "particular" of me to even mention it. 

This Volvo has ZERO RUST! All four tires have about 80% of their tread left including the full size and matching spare. The front and rear brakes are also near new. The timing belt also only has about 15K miles on it. The rear main seal was replaced and updated less than 3K miles ago, which is a well known failure on these models. All of the fluids are clean and filled to their proper levels. This car has absolutely no leaks. Oil changes have been completed every 3K miles.

It has an automatic transmission, which shifts very smoothly and on time. The 5 cylinder 2.3 liter engine produces an incredible 250 horsepower (179 kW) @ 5600 rpm and 221 lb·ft (300 N·m) @ 2100 rpm. Not that I am encouraging anyone to be a speed demon, these facts are good to know:) It has a rating of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and with a top speed of 158 mph. I suspect that the previous owner has "upgraded" the Turbo system as this 850R provides seat pinning power compared to other ones I have driven. You will be amazed on how gas friendly this car is! There is a significant difference when using the Economy or Sport mode which is as easy as pushing a button. There is also a Winter mode, and traction control system.  All of the electronics work great! 

Other options include:
Power Windows
Power locks
Factory alarm system
Locking glove box
Locking storage compartment
Power sunroof 
Dual Power heated seats 
On board computer ( measures fuel economy etc ) 
Power mirrors 
Cruise control
Ice Cold air conditioning 
Privacy glass 
Original Volvo radio with tape cassette and cd player & premium sound 


The only reason I am selling is the need to down size my garage candy. Otherwise this Volvo would stay in the family for life.

This Volvo comes with a Clean California Title, Current Ca registration until July 2013, Owners manual and service records, clean Carfax Report, original 850R floor mats, full size and matching spare tire and wheel and two sets of original Volvo keys. If you are a California buyer I will provide a new smog certificate with purchase. I am happy to assist with shipping and or airport pickup from the San Diego airport ( SAN ). Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns, or to schedule a test drive..Please note that I may end this auction at anytime. Good luck and happy bidding!

Volvo Cars leaps 22% in IPO stock debut — a big endorsement for EVs

Fri, Oct 29 2021

Volvo Cars CEO Hakan Samuelsson at the automakers' stock market opening bell on Friday in Stockholm. (Getty Images)   STOCKHOLM — Volvo Cars shares surged 22% on their Stockholm market debut on Friday after wrapping up Europe's biggest IPO of the year so far, in a boost for new issues markets and carmakers' vision of an electric future. The Gothenburg-based company cut the size of its listing and priced it at the bottom of a previously-announced range UPDATE 3-Volvo Cars gives itself $18 bln price tag as cuts IPO size - Reuters News on Monday, valuing it at just over $18 billion and making it Sweden's second largest listing yet. But the successful deal and strong market reaction — which propels the valuation to about $22 billion — is a lift for a European automotive industry that has embarked on a challenging transition towards electric vehicles (EVs). It also shows that while the euphoria over initial public offerings (IPO) in the first half of 2021 is over, the market is open for new listings of big companies with a story to tell. Volvo Cars Chief Executive Hakan Samuelsson said the listing showed a recognition of its transition plans, adding it would be key for Volvo to demonstrate it is on track to be the "fastest transformer." "There's a much bigger interest in the market to invest in electric car makers than in the conventional ones. So we better do what we said we would," he told Reuters in an interview. Shares in the carmaker, which is majority owned by China's Geely Holding, were trading at 64.70 Swedish crowns ($7.59) at 1057 GMT, after being priced at 53 crowns in the IPO. Polestar Apart from Volvo's commitment to becoming a purely electric carmaker by 2030, it also has a 49% stake in EV venture Polestar, which said in September it would go public through a $20 billion deal. Samuelsson said Polestar had a "good valuation." "They are already electric... showing in a way what the potential would be for Volvo if this (the transformation) is done in the right way." A source familiar with Volvo's transaction said the outcome of this week's IPO was good, even though investors had pushed back and forced Volvo to price at the bottom of the announced range. "The company had to compromise on size and the governance structure. They were hoping for a read across on Polestar, but they were clearly not getting that," the source said, requesting anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the press.

Volvo to finally replace XC90 in 2014

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

There's not a whole lot of life left in the current Volvo XC90, but it seems a replacement is on the way. According to What Car?, Volvo will launch its new flagship crossover sometime in 2014, riding on an all new platform that will eventually underpin several models in the company's range.
According to Volvo boss Hakan Samuelsson, this new architecture will eventually underpin the next-generation S60, V70, S80 and XC60, all of which will be getting mid-cycle enhancements over the next year. In speaking to What Car?, Samuelsson said that Volvo would not try to follow the paths set by BMW and Mercedes-Benz, instead focusing on "safety, elegant design and user-friendly functionality" for its next round of new cars.
The new XC90 will remain a seven-passenger vehicle and will be powered by a range of four-cylinder engines. Volvo will soon be dropping the five- and six-cylinder powertrains from its lineup.

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon

Tue, Jan 3 2017

The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.
