Chagrin Falls, Ohio, United States
|
The Volvo 850R Station Wagon, a high performance model, developed in part with Porsche, was released and the rest is history. Anyone that knows their Volvo's an tell you that the limited production 850R is a rare machine. In 5-door form, the turbocharged station wagon can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 7.4 seconds and reach up to 158 mph (254 km/h). Various Volvo sources estimate between 5000-7000 of all 850 R variants were produced and sold worldwide. The Volvo 850R wagon features the 2.3 liter, 5-cylinder, turbocharged engine. The turbo in the R model boasts an incredible 11 pounds of boost, compared to the 850 turbo wagon which produces only 5-6 pounds of boost. If you don't know the reputation of these cars, please follow the links posted below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ReaHyJ0m9E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ3mD62ZuAU This particular example of the 850R wagon is a true specimen of a great history of proper maintenance. The previous owner of this car was a high-end Volvo and Saab repair shop out here east of Cleveland, Ohio. This car used to be the courtesy car for Swedish Solutions, a shop with a storied reputation for only the best in Volvo repairs and maintenance. You can be assured that the history of the car is a great one. This car always had proper and regular maintenance. It's had oil changes every 3,000 miles, and all scheduled timing belt replacements have been done. Needless to say, this car has a meticulous maintenance history. The car is the 5-cylinder, 2.3 liter turbo with an automatic transmission. It runs and drives flawlessly. The engine pulls strong, the turbo is perfect, and the transmission is flawless. The suspension on the car is still very tight and strong. Everything on the car works perfect. This includes all of the windows, locks, 8-way power front seats, power mirrors, power sunroof, stereo, cruise control, etc. The stereo is a newer Alpine headset with bluetooth and usb inputs. It also still retains the factory warrantee. The interior is in great shape, with no tears in the leather and no cracks on the dash. This particular model features the raphine grey leather with dark alcantara seat and door inserts, burled black walnut wood trim on instrument panel and floor console with Graphite carpeting/interior trim, light Grey coloured; leather gear knob, parking brake handle, seat piping and steering wheel insert. The factory floor mats are included. The rear storage area has a cargo mat. The factory pet fence for the rear seat is included (see pic). One of the front wheels was damaged and replaced by a new wheel and tire. I do not have the damaged wheel. The A/C will need to be recharged. The clear coat on the roof has begun to peeal (see pic) and there is a small spot of clear coat fade on the front hood. The car will consume 1/2 to 3/4 of a quart of oil between oil changes. I did notice a puff of smoke from the exhaust when you hit the gas had after the engine's been warmed up and allowed to stand at idle for at least a few minutes. This is my 4th 5-cylinder Volvo wagon, and 3 of the 4 had the same oil issue. It's nothing that will effect the drivability of the car, but I want to make everyone aware of any and all issues that I know about. Bottom line, this is an awesome, rare, and fun car that is ready to drive for a long time. I wish I could keep it, but I just found an early air-cooled VW that I really want, and my wife said I can't keep both. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, and good luck! Car sold as-is, where is, with no warrantee expressed or implied. It is the sole responsibility of the bidder to inspect the car prior to purchase.

Volvo confirms unnamed US model reveal for NY show
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Tucked into the press release for the "display debut" of the Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid at the New York Auto Show, Volvo snuck in a single line announcing that it will also be introducing a new model for the North American market. As much as we'd love to see the svelte V40 on American roads, we're pretty sure the automaker is looking to fill its US station wagon void with the V60.
The 2014 Volvo V60 is part of a comprehensive lineup update that was unveiled earlier this month in Geneva, and it would give Volvo dealers a conventional wagon (not including the XC70) for the first time since the V70 and V50 were killed off. We'll still be keeping our fingers crossed for the stylish V40 hatchback or the fuel-efficient V60 diesel hybrid, but we have to wait until next week to find out for sure.
Tina Fey sits down with Seinfeld for new CiCGC
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Recently Jerry Seinfeld went out for a videotaped cup of coffee with Jay Leno in a vintage Gmund Porsche. Switching coasts and cars, this time New York's own son returns to his city for a jaunt in a 1967 Volvo 1800S with fellow New Yorker Tina Fey for the latest episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
The trip takes them uptown to Cuban coffee shop Floridita in Harlem, then back downtown to a pastry shop. On the way, Jerry calls out a photo shoot for using a fake Porsche, and Fey admits she doesn't have a driver's license. Driving cars, she says, "is like Twitter to me." Which she also doesn't do - she lasted seven tweets in 2009.
You can check out the episode below as they go in search of coffee, the rare guanabana/soursop juice, Jerry's even more elusive product placement and the last Cronut in NYC.
Volvo's pedestrian airbags may already be on their way out
Sun, 01 Dec 2013As proof of just how quickly automotive technology can advance, just check out the Volvo V40. Developed with an external airbag aimed at better protecting pedestrians in the event of a collision, this innovative safety device could be phased out soon in place of more advanced active safety technologies like pedestrian detection and auto braking.
Go Auto had a chance to talk to Volvo senior VP Lex Kerssmakers at the Tokyo Motor Show, and he suggested that the V40's under-hood airbag will not be used on the next-gen XC90 and might not even be continued on non-SUV models. The passive airbag was designed to deploy at speeds of less than 31 miles per hour to help limit head injuries to pedestrians, but new active technologies are designed to prevent collisions in the first place.
The interview also reveals some details about the new XC90, such as the inclusion of a plug-in hybrid system and the debut of a new safety technology. Kerssmakers told Go Auto that a new Volvo concept will be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in January, but it won't be for the XC90.
