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 shuts down Gothenburg plant due to chip shortage

Wed, Aug 11 2021

STOCKHOLM — Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holding, will temporarily stop production at its Swedish plant in Gothenburg due to the shortage of semiconductor chips, it said on Wednesday. A global chip shortage has hit manufacturing, with automakers cutting down on production and electronic device makers struggling to keep up with a pandemic-led surge in demand for phones, TVs and gaming consoles. "Production at Torslanda will be paused temporarily from this evening due to a material shortage linked with the semiconductor issue," Volvo Cars said in an emailed statement. "Production will restart as soon as possible, at the latest before next week," the Swedish carmaker, which in June halted production at its Belgian plant in Ghent for a week, said. Volvo Cars, which last month reported a return to profit in the first half as demand for electric cars grows, is considering listing on the Nasdaq Stockholm stock exchange this year.

Apple announces CarPlay in-car iPhone interface

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

Apple, maker of tech items like the iPhone, iPad and Mac line of computers, is extending its reach into the automotive market, making a fairly big announcement ahead of the Geneva Motor Show. No, it hasn't bought Tesla (yet). Instead, Apple has announced CarPlay, an all-new means of controlling an iPhone through your car.
Now, this doesn't strike us as some gimmicky thing. It's become increasingly common for automakers to take advantage of the high-speed data streams its customers enjoy on their smartphones in order to integrate navigation, traffic, audio and other infotainment items into a car's touchscreen interface. The Chevrolet Spark and Sonic are two prime examples of this move, using an iPhone's data stream for Siri integration and data for a third-party navigation app.
Owners will be able to plug in their iPhones to their cars via the USB port and gain control of a number of the device's functions, all through a car's touchscreen.

Volvo launches XC90 configurator site

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

In many ways the 2016 Volvo XC90 defines the future of the Swedish brand. The SUV is the introduction of the company's Scalable Product Architecture modular platform that should underpin most of its future models. It's also the first big chance to see whether consumers accept a model like this that's only available with four-cylinder power, granted a mill that is both turbocharged and supercharged. The configurator for this Swedish hopeful is just hitting the Web giving customers a chance to see what they think.
The only available powertrain on the XC90 at the moment is the 2.0-liter Drive-E with 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The base price starts at $48,900, plus $925 for destination, but that number can balloon quite quickly. Upgrading to the R-Design package tacks on $4,000 or the even plusher Inscription package adds $5,600.
Furthermore, there are several option packages to add some extra tech and comfort to the SUV. The Vision Package with a backup cam is an extra $1,600, two versions of the Climate package to keep occupants warm come to $1,050 and $1,950, respectively, and the Convenience Package that includes adaptive cruise control adds $2,000. Depending on trim, there are up to 13 colors available in an attractive variety, although all but two add $550 to the price. There are also a wide variety of leather upholsteries to choose from.
